I just wonder : if you drive 3 hours in the rain and you stay dry, then
the jacket is called 100% waterproof ?

I have jacket from Modesport (an czech firm), cost about 300 DM (a big
difference from Dainese or other, but has nearly the same features), I'm
really satisfied with it.

But it was sold as a '100% waterproof' and on my way from Greece meeting
I was riding three days in the rain (continuously) that jacket keeps my
dry for about 6-7 hours, then I started to feel a water on my wrists,
elboes and around zip of the jacket (not a big leakage), and after one
night it's again dry. One negative - all outside pockets, resp. their
contents was wet.

Still better then my boots (Falco RX Enduro) - they keeps my legs dry
only for about 2-3 hours, and they are dry after about 10 days ...

Bye for now

Vlada
