I have the drystar pants....
They are comfy, warm, and kept me dry in a down pour... Only downside is the "armor" sucks. Basically some foam pads. If the jacket is like the pants I would not feel too safe.
Just bought a dianese waterproof jacket from cyclegear that was on sale for $350 and it's awesome and has excellent armor
ended up getting the jacket...like it so far...other than when fastened all the way to the top the collar is rubbing and rippin my neck across the adams apple to shreds. Probably gonna throw a bandana around my neck to stop it.

That's not OK....how does the jacket fit otherwise? does it feel a bit tight on you? Are you using a back protector or anything else? I would strongly consider contacting Revzilla about that....
i took the shoulder and elbow pads out....the front and back are just cheap foam padding so i left it in. it fits snug...but that's what i want. it's just the collar fits snug too....and that's a problem for someone that shaves every other day...just irratates the neck. i'm also gonna try and stretch it out a little!

I would shave every day and keep the protective elements of the jacket [thumbsup]
