Hein Gerike - A store in decline?

[Tefer]

Dainese vs HG?
No contest. The Dainese is a far better finished product.
I've recently replaced my trusty Dainese gore tex jacket. 9 years old, still watertight, and no appreciable wear. It's been macine washed every year too.
Dainese is generally well made, stylish, and ALL jackets zip up to ALL pants. Can't go wrong really.
Finally, if you sign up at the D Store, you'll get 10% discount on all future purchases.
I always use the Manc store, and the service there is second to none.

Highly, highly recommended.

I went in yesterday and picked up some Daytona Toron boots, the felt nice on my feet and look to have a good sole for walking in and also Gore Tex so should be waterproof.


I to have a problem with an ankle that i busted up pretty bad last year just before my annual bike trip with friends, i could get my other foot in the smaller size but not the one with the busted ankle. Picked up a pair of gloves too as i had vouchers to spend.

Wonder how long his lap was around the ring

Quicker than Tcat's 
 
So does anyone use the Hein Gericke "Safety Belt"?

[purplebear7]

Just for interest .. maybe ?
 
The best advert I have for HG kit is this shot of me on a ten day wintertime Husky Safari way up in northern Lapland .. temperatures around minus 27c most of the time .. and I stayed as snug as toast 
 
The suit is now (about) ten years old and still doing what it said on the original tin .. very good gear. 
 
(My dogs seemed to like reading the MCN too)
 
Stay Safe Guys .. buy the best you can afford and keep warm and dry

Was this in Laguna's. I was in there on easter Saturday as well as they had 20% off RST so kitted me and the missus out in new gear 

[locksmith]

Yes, Laguna's Al

Interestingly, received another voucher from HG today. £40 off a £160 spend. Thats 25% off any clothing or helmet by the looks.
Mind you remember I was offered 30% off without showing any voucher, so haggle.
Surely they can't sustain this level of discounting much longer!

Have been inundated with e-mails from HG for months on end. Only trouble is the gear I bought from them in 2005/6 refuses to wear out & its only the trouser top catch thats for some strange reason got tighter! Its a tough old world out there in retail land!

I've been inundated too with HG offers. I do need to renew all my gear (lid, boots, gloves, leathers) but not until I've finished losing weight! Also need some decent waterproofs or textiles. Pencilled in August for doing this, and if HG is still around(!) will do the buy now pay a year later offer. By late summer, I'll also have sussed out whether I want to bite the bullet and get a Speed Triple.

[locksmith]

Yes, best loose weight for the leathers, remember they only sell boys sizes
