Not a review as such, but I bought the pants and jacket just over a year ago... I ride daily whatever the weather and so far they have been 100% waterproof. Maybe not quite as breathable as they could be but certainly not bad by any stretch of the imagination.... but here's the thing.... it's 11th Dec, it was -1°C when I left for work this morning... and I still don't need the liner back in the jacket or pants yet. Not totally toasty, but certainly still warm enough for my 1 1/4 hour commute without (I only wear shorts and t-shirt under them so it's not like I'm wearing loads of layers either).
Top kit IMHO.

They are good..Don't look as good as some other stuff but performance is excellent.
I rode in this morn at 4deg. Lining in jacket and a light fleece underneath.
I was sweating like a pregnant nun by the time I arrived to work.

The Storm collar is fantastic and the cuffs give a great seal. The only downside is the side pockets are ideal goldfish transport as they fill up with water after a while.. and the neck opening could be a bit more generous.

I use the pants for long wet journeys, but prefer the Rallye goretex for most other times.
