Finally took the plunge and spent nearly £700 on Rukka Gore Tex jacket & trousers, link below. Good quality feel and a 6yr warranty - got fed up of trying to re proof my gear and failing badly.

Frosties.....with a 6 year guarantee on this stuff that is still only £150 ish per year for those 6 years....for guaranteed comfort.
I can see myself being interested in some...maybe become an all year biker for the first time...few things motor related in the pipeline but sadly not involving any MV Brutale.....my missus might soon have a driving licence & so i plan on giving her the 3 year old skoda and getting myself an old merc sprinter to get done up as a camper.....complete with space for loading a bike.....thing is i dont want to be putting unnecessary mileage on a camper just by going back and forward to work.....bike is the obvious answer.....but i need to look smart in work and be dry so itll have to be an all weather bike and some decent all weather gear.......decisions decisions :b

More like £115/year Noggy. First day with it on today and got to say it felt good - still needs breaking in properly but you can feel the quality. Don't know why I didn't do it years ago........the time I've wasted with Nikwax products. Feel safer wearing it for some reason........
The MV Brutale will happen one day and same as you I'm gagging for a decent camper or base van to work on - fancy a nice T5. One day our dreams will come true
Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.
