I bought the gear that was available in my local bike shop, so almost all my gear is made by Rayven.
1) Jacket: Rayven Zenith
It's a budget jacket, but it's pretty good. Owned since Feb, ridden in all weather on it, and the only complaint I have is the pockets. Stuff in them WILL get wet. I stay dry. The only time I did get wet was after a 4h ride in torrential rain on French motoways. But then EVERYTHING leaked.
2) Trousers: Rayven Cobra
The cheaper of the two pairs in the shop. Great in winter, they keep you dry (as above with pockets). In the same ride described above, the zip leaked. But that was after at least 2h of constant rain applied. No gripes with them.
3) Boots: Rayven I-don't-remember
Lousy. Only 10 months old, and already disintergrating. Waterproo? For short trips. Anything over 20 mins and you get cold, wet feet.
4) Gloves: Spada, now RST
I get through gloves quickly. But their waterproof abilities generally only lasts 2-3 months.
