I say tummy...
To my 4 year old
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.

Those of us who have reproduced and have young kids call it a tummy
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.

I'd suggest this as the most likely option as well. Think of the wind pressure behind the water being pushed up your legs into the bottom of the jacket.Do you have anything under the jacket that might be wicking the water up or is all your gear tucked into the trousers?
Can you tighten the bottom of the jacket to make it seal better?
If you think it's coming through the zip you might be able to seal the area better using nikwax or similar, but it's probably the most protected area on a motorbike due to the fairing/clocks keeping the pressure down.

Hmnn its probably not getting in through your zip. Are we talking heavy rain or just regular rain?Those of us who have reproduced and have young kids call it a tummy

We might need to get scientific!
What brand of jacket? Full length or short sport length?
We need to stop this wet tummy! I am going to tell my little girl and she is definitely going to be concerned! We need to stop this now. Nobody needs a wet tummy. No one.

Are you getting a wet winky too?
Now your just taking the piss. Seriously fella take this seriously! castex said:
Tummy is correct. Anyone who says otherwise is actively working against the gentrification of motorcycling.
I agree. Tummy is also the most scientifically accurate.All I know is there is a guy out there on his overpowered sport bike. Riding the cold harsh roads of England, head to toe in Gore-Tex and his tummy if flipping wet!
Trump and Brexit have a lot to answer for!
One of my shorter Dainese jackets did the same and when I took it back I was told that one of the downsides of Gortex is that water has to pass though the outside of the jacket before it hits the Gortex layer.
The water then runs down the Gortex layer until it gets to the bottom of the membrane where it drips out. Unfortunately, on some jackets the Gortex layer finishes a little way up from the bottom of the jacket and quite often very close to where the jacket joins the trousers. So unless you’re sitting bolt upright thus allowing the water to run away cleanly after a while some water will get trapped in the creases and the inside of the jacket will start to get wet and will eventually wick onto your shirt making your tummy all wet
