Quality of my gear is certainly something I've been thinking about Dave. Seen as I ride all year round, spending a grand on Rukka jacket & trousers with a 5/6 yr warranty is starting to look a fairly sensible approach.
I don't think not washing or re-proofing the gear for 2 yrs has helped much to be honest. On the plus side they feel very soft now, smell betterĀ :lolĀ and will have to see how they perform in the next downpour. If they fail again soon then they're getting relegated to dry weather riding.

Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.
