Fairly sure it is shower proof..

What Aldi gear in particular?

Their 2 piece oversuit that I had for years was completely waterproof .... until recently.

Their boots held out for a long time in downpours (probably less now my gear lever has warn a hole though the top layer.

Gloves ..... well not entirely waterproof.

As for the full textile stuff, I bet that's pretty good - at least for a few years

For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock
