Budget Textiles for Road and Off Road use.
I've had Hein Gericke's Tourag jacket and trousers for 3 winters now. First winter they were 100% water proof, 2nd winter a good coat of Nikwax and they stayed water proof, but this year I've Nik waxed twice and they start to leak after a few weeks (I do 30 miles daily). Can't complain as I have covered a lot of miles on them.
As they are starting fray a bit and the zip is going and vecro is past its best, I am going to replace them.
Budget wise I am looking around £130-150, but am flexible.
Want something that's warm enough for winter is essential, Ideally cool enough for use in summer when off road, but I guess only MX/Enduro gear will do then !
Also hi-vis of some kind would be a help.
If anyone has any recommendation or spotted any bargains let me know.
Happy to buy good condition 2nd hand or new, or mix and match (eg army gortex jacket and trousers with thermals and armour)
Cheers Nick.
