ok my search for good gear is a mess
started after i posted i cant find 100% waterproof for me this means a 10mile ride to work without wet arms and bollocks
item 1 rst jacket and pants from Hrs Bristol label 100% waterproof Cost £110 and £70
leaked in the chest zip and crutch
returned to shop and got all the rubbish about never had one come back
item 2 frank thomas x terrain £149 jacket £129 pants 100% waterproof J&s Jacket was ok small leak to right arm and pockets filled up with water pants were usless
took them back refund and changed for Revitt gear of similar price from fowlers failled big time leaked everyware
so two weeks ago bit the bullet and in 30 years riding spent the most i ever have on bike gear
item 3 Held touring jacket £299 gortex matching pants £299 for get geared
i have had better results with bin liners there were worse that the rst's
10miles is all i need to stay dry and to me as proved it dont matter if cheap or expensive im going to get wet
the only saving grace is my held ride recommended 39 quid over suit which is 100% waterproof but takes like 6 hours to get on with a month of planning
so any idea's
