your HG glove inner lining falls out, you rip it out to discover the waterproofing of the gloves is a plastic bag.

Your HG jacket is no longer red, but a murky burgendy, and it now remains waterproof for about 10 minutes of rain.

your spada trousers have a split inside down the crotch, and both zips have jammed.


So...I need some new gear. I need textile, waterproof, comfortable, and suitable for both summer/winter ( I am capable of wearing multiple layers)

budgeting at gloves: less than £40
Jacket:less than £150
Trousers: less than £50

any ideas?

is it bad that I want an "urban camo" styled jacket?
*shakes head*

If youve got a rat bike or streetfighter then its allowed Wink

also check out ebay, I got my 2 piece leathers for under £40 on there.

Just go down to a shop, they're realistic prices. But I'd be spending £100 each on jacket and trousers, not £150/£50.

Try these https://www.raceleathers.co.uk/

I got a real nice jacket that was meant to be £220 (and is elsewhere on net) for £110 .

Its Blackburn way just off the M65, about an hour for me. I need to try stuff on , because i'm not thin.
