Glad you are having good luck with yours Scoob..took me about 10 seconds on line to find complaints of guys getting wet wearing Klim (same was the case with Aerostitch btw)

Well as I mentioned, today was a ride day in heavy rain, about 4 hours worth from Reading down to near Dover. Suit held up reasonably well, but I still ended up with a wet belly. I'm pretty sure it's from water getting past the main zipper. I think it was alright until the first pee stop... then maybe I didn't get the flaps right when I dressed again. With a helmet on you can't see what you're doing - so next time I will either take it off or do the jacket up in front of a mirror! IMHO that flap system could use a makeover...

My first jacket leaked on the insides of the arms klim replaced no problems. My new one is leaking as you said I believe the front zip. Shame they don't make that one a waterproof one
