I have a set of RST Adventure textiles and they've been cracking for me. I ride all year round and all weathers, only time they've let anything through was after 10 hours riding through a monsoon on the west coast and I suspect that was down to accumulated road-dirt.

I'd overlooked that textiles are less water-resistant over time as the membrane pores get clogged up with all sorts. Threw them in the washing machine with tekwash and then reproofer, been bone dry since. Tend to do the cleaning every 3 months now.
