if you have a high quality synthetic long sleeve top it will shed rain drops pretty well. it isnt the best for rain, but i'd argue that its the best for all around riding with a risk of rain. but i never wear anything that is actually waterproof, because even goretex doesnt breath enough when you are working hard and sweating on the bike....
