Have'nt needed it much lately.

Hmmm I've got the sinisalo pants and they have worn well but waterproof they are not. Depends on your definition I suppose, does sitting in water while the bike goes on without me count as proper testing? Their gloves were'nt up to much either,the linning reversing when wet and the velcro pulling off.

Never had a problem riding in rain with this kit, dunno about sitting in puddles, have'nt tried that.
The gloves i've had for three years, no problems with them.

I had similar isues with Sinasalo, pants weren,t to bad although the zips only lasted for one enduro. gloves were about as much use as tits on a gold fish, as herman says the liners kept coming out and when wet i couldn,t get my hands back in, think i riped them out in a strop after a wet petrol stop. haha
