Despite having a pricey Held Gore-Tex jacket, on long rides in the rain I end up with a wet tummy.
I'm guessing the water is leaching through the zip when I'm hunched over on the bike.

Any tips/advice/cures ?

Anyway OP you are obviously not going fast enough to let the rain just run off. Its running down and then back up under the front of your jacket.

Also you need to experiment with the crouch you assume in the rain. It made a difference to me when in slightly heavier rain.
You lot are obviously all single and childless physicians...
Those of us who have reproduced and have young kids call it a tummy tongue out


Back on subject...
I couldn't go any faster, just under triple figures is my self-inforced limit for licence-keeping reasons.

I was couched down a fair bit to keep my visor in the sweet-spot where the water get blown off the visor most effectively.
