What about hein gericke mate? They are back open on A82 I think?

Yes they're back there mate, inbetween Ducatti & J&S

Been in there too Mick, sales guy was an absolute twat, didn't know what he was talking about
Q.Hello, has this got goretex?
A. I'll need to check
Q.does it comes with a gaurantee?
A. I'll need to check.
Q.Do you have trousers to match?
A. I think so
Q. Is this jacket waterproof?
A. Don't know
Q. Do you think I should buy from you?
A. On a postcard please

As original post said i've got HG stuff already and has lasted me well, but another notable point is I reckon since grey closed down and reopened I don't think the quality is the same plus it's fairly heavy in weight and price in regards to others.

Was in J&S too, Gary is a top man and knows his stuff (and used to work for HG) unfortunately J&S seam to sell last year's lines or even older.

Your probably right but there's no shops up here that I'm aware of that sells them.
I really like to go and feel the quality, try them on etc etc

I'm not a fan of leather kit, so it's got to be textile

has anyone had Wolf textile stuff before? What's the pros/cons of it?

I've got a Wolf jacket and trousers, I bought them when I got my Fazer back in 2007 and they're still going strong. Both came with an inner lining for extra warmth although I have only ever used the jacket one as I have jeans under the trousers.

The waterproofing is good too, I've only had issues a couple of times when it's been absolutely bucketting it down and water has pooled on the saddle between my legs and got in to the crotch.

Apart from that, I'd definitely recommend it.

I had the Wolf Titanium Jacket and Trousers and lasted 3 weeks with them. Leaked something rotten...took them back and got a refund.

I am looking around myself, want Goretex but can't afford Rukka. I have decided on the REV-IT Neptune range which get decent reviews.

Conflicting comments so I might have to look more closely into this
All the reviews I've read about Wolf were pretty good until 'flesh' wrote the above. And as you say goretex would be the way to go for me too if money wasn't the object but unfortunately it is so I have to look at cost v's practicality etc
Foccin dilemmas I hate them :lol

someone mentioned J&S, I bought a pair of there trousers other week, last years stock for £65, ( the Portsmouth branch does forces discount so got another 10% off  )
ok so the zip pull on the left leg fell off within 2 days but I never undo the zip anyway  :rollin

so far been good but looks like a thunderstorm on way home so will let you know if I stay dry!

[Robbie8666]

sorry for not replying sooner as I said I would, but it didn't rain that bad... until this morning!!
gotta report that J&S K2 textile trousers are waterproof!!
rode in to work this morning in medium to heavy rain.. got splashed by trucks going the other way through big puddles & I'm virtually dry.
the hem of my trousers is damp but that's cuz the rain went up my boots but well impressed!

I would say they are equivalent to these
