I am sure a 60 to 70 MPH head wind would push the rain through all those forward facing zippers.
I bought a good motorcycle rain suit in the early 80s. I was leading about 50 members of our touring club down highway 401 towards Toronto through a car wash like rain storm. At Oshawa it was just like I passed through the car wash exit curtain. It was suddenly sunny and dry.
I pulled over about a 1/4 of a mile up to watch everyone else exit the car wash. As I stood up, all the water that had gathered in the crotch of the rain suit found its way in. Not a comfortable feeling. Fortunately it was a warm and sunny day after that, so at 70 MPH it didn't take long to dry off.
I now wear a Columbia rain suit I bought for fishing. Great gear that is truly waterproof. As it has a hood I can wear under my helmet, water does not trickle down my neck and into my clothing. It also breathes, so I don't get wet from the inside out during hot weather.
