Redundancy works for me: two tops, two pants, all waterproof. I ride in textile pants and jacket, then add cheap backpacker rain suit as needed.
My Aerostich on its own fails miserably in sustained heavy downpours, and when I get wet I get cold, then stooopid. This is not healthy.
I don't know how to account for all the people who post about riding hours through torrential rains in identical suits, staying dry the whole way. The best solution is to do whatever they do and I do not.
Hope that helps.
