I've been off my recumbent (Vision VR42 SWB) for several years now, but I remember it as being pretty good in the rain. I had fenders (of course), a fairing, and a really cool rain cover that covered from the fairing to the seat back. Rain could blow in from the side, but it took a pretty good downpour to get my legs wet. Even without the rain cover, the fairing did a good job of keeping my feet dry.
