Rain gear for recumbents

I recently put my recumbent back into service as my daily commuter, and today I suddenly remembered that I never had a good solution to dealing with the rain.

I've a very nice Showers Pass jacket that works like a charm on my upright, but the zipper apparently ships water when it's facing to the sky.

I recently swapped to OSS steering, which led to elbow puddles this morning, this I can address by gauntlets over the sleeve openings, but the wet chest thing I don't see any way around.

I was just wondering what other folks were doing/using.

In my feckless youth I was commuting ~ 4500 miles/yr with cheap rain gear and just getting wet, but in my declining years I'd like to think there is a better answer.
