Both of us have had a Sanvanna 1 and a Santiago's and we like them but water will just run through them. You must have the liner to stay dry.
It is the removeable liner that makes them bearable in the heat.
Below is a copy of my rant on using a liner.

Hi John,
You were right! The only waterproofing is the liner inside. Got soaked last night so wanted to apologise for not believing you 
The interesting thing is that I had all the layers for the top but nothing for the trousers. I had just the suit with no liners or even underwear for the trouers and I just got totaly soaked there. On the other hand I had the liner and the top underwear with me and I've put it on just before it started raining and to eb honest the top felt great! Warm and dry and no problems whatsoever.
I'm very happy with what we bought. Seems to eb pretty all weather riding gear - when hot strip all the layers and open all the vents and there is quite a few there! When cold put the liners in, put some good synthetic warm underarmor and off you go! Just perfect!
All the best and stay safe!
Gosia and Andy
