I have the Triumph one piece (it's about 6 years old so I don't know if it's the same as the new ones). It has kept me dry through numerous squalls but it's true test was a day spent riding around Cape Breton where it monsooned nonstop and only got worse as the day went on. That rainsuit kept me completely dry. My boots were soaked (water was about 2" deep when you'd put your foot down for a stop) but they dried out during the next day's ride thanks to the nonstop gale force winds.

I never found getting at gas money to be a problem as I wear my leathers underneath the rain suit and my Vanson has a little pocket in the flap of the zipper right at the breastbone that's exactly credit card sized. I'd keep some cash & a card there, unzip the suit & jacket a few inches & be able to access my cash without a problem. Zip back up & pat the velcro back in a second. No problem.

Bathrooom stops, however, were nowhere near as easy in that thing.
