Anyone a good experience with brake performance of the Campagnolo Bora wheels with 3D surface in the rain?

Hi Bruno,
I was out in the wet again on the weekend, both Sat and Sun (we are having a very wet spell down here). I thought I'd add to my comments on your other thread on this issue.

Sat was heavy rain and Sunday was intermittent. I'm saying the performance of the brakes is excellent. My previous comments in hindsight really referred to conditions which were extremely wet and also I am not sure if the wheels had been used enough at that point.

Performance still not good as dry ind you but very reliable and one gets used to it. Plenty of stopping power and that initial feeling of not having much happening can be minimised by going a bit harder form the start.

I have not ridden other carbon wheels and the Bora 2015's are my first. But to me this braking performance is wet is very good and near what I would expect from an Aluminium wheelset.
