Tourmaster as rain gear

Are we there yet?
I have the Jett jacket and Venture pants and they are not good in the rain (it will soak through). I have a Tourmaster Sentinel rain suit that I have used for six years and it works great in the rain. I also have a new BMW ProRain 3 one piece suit that I have never used because once I put it on, I can never get it off without struggling.
In my experience, nothing works as well as rain gear at being rain gear. That said, I put about 60K on an Aerostich Roadcraft2 and never carried rain gear. The Aero, and the Olympia AST/Ranger suit I now use, are about 98% rain-proof and I can put up with a very small bit of dampness after riding in a gullywasher. Use the space the rain gear would take for something really useful.

Tm;
I've been wearing TM pants for a decade or more now and they do leak some after a year or two use. BUT, I carry no rain gear, really don't need it. I don't know what the TM brand name uses, but its not Gortex, to make waterproof. I just ordered my first pants from Aerostitch, AD1 pants, ARE Gortex and better built. More dollars, but I want better this time. Riding N.Canada and Alaska puts me in rain and more rain and cold. I want no leaks
