I bought this rain suit a couple months back and recently had a chance to test it. We had a big thunderstorm in NW Houston this past Thursday evening (May 10) and I rode home from a meeting at church in the midst of it. It was about a 4 miles ride, about half of it in a torrid downpour. I stayed dry as a bone.
Takes longer to get into than the one piece (Thunderwear) that I still have (from 17 years ago). But it's so much easier to get into and out of, and you can take the jacket off and leave the pants on if you make a stop for chow or the like while on a lengthy ride.
All in all, a good piece of gear, combined with the Choko rain boots described here - http://www.twtex.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16130
