Pretty much WET.
Biggest problem most have (me included) is water puddling in your crotch and then leaking through.
My jacket (First Gear Rainier) is reasonably waterproof ... but only for a while.
In serious rain I put my very inexpensive Moto rain poncho over. This really helps. Same with pants. Inexpensive rubberized rain gear.
Staying 100% dry in driving rain is an Art. Generally, I pull over ... and wait it out. I did do one ride on my Vstrom (GREAT Rain riding bike) from the Mexican border to San Francisco. (about 700 miles) 2 days, non stop rain. Not heavy, but steady.
