Well, I would assume that you are talking about the triumph suit ? I had a 
similar problem with mine when I initially got it. To correct the problem I 
used a tent seam sealer on all the seams in the zipper area and was more 
cautious about doing up the velcro when donning the suit. If you have any 
bunches in the velcro - either when putting it on or when sitting on the 
bike - the rain will enter and then follow the zipper to the lowest point, 
giving you the result you are experiencing. I've tried several different 
vendors, but haven't found a suit that I can rave about.
