My trip to Heine Gericke (56k warning)

[Gazdaman]

I went to Heine Gericke as my first outing on the XJ600. Bumped into Kasandrich outside, small world.

My bank balance was decidedly light, so I definately wasn't going to buy anything....

Even came with some little HG knee sliders..

Time to bust out the power sander I think...

Anyway, those were £50!!, and they're zip together since I'm in the process of planning a track day.

Anyone got any of these? or any comments on them? They seem to have some kind of lining just inside the bottom of the leg that's specially designed so you get your foot caught in it when you put them on...

I got the leather jacket that goes with those trousers.

I got it cause it was cheap in the sale, are they still selling that kit off cheap as I might buy the leather trousers now.

Ive got something similar from Gericke. They are pretty comfortable but tend to suffer from 'baggy arse' syndrome! Build quality is awesome too.£50 is a real good price!

[Gazdaman]

I'll be buying the jacket or one that matches fairly well quite soon.

Just because for track days they need to zip together.

Well according to the kind gentleman at Hein Gericke Taunton, all HG Jackets and trousers zip together as standard even if they aren't same design.

so is Heine Gericke the best place to go if your on a tight budget or was it because those were in a sale or something? How much was your jacket Jon B?

I paid £100 for the jacket, down from £199.

Hein Gericke are relatively cheap, i'm guessing like most things the more you pay the better you get.

You might want to try an image resizer, there is one on here https://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx or you can use paint etc. Makes easier viewing.

I got some hein gericke trousers that are textile/leather mix.

comfortable trousers, warmish and waterproof.

£150 but I spoke nicely too the lady in the shop and got them for £135.

[The Tot]

I vouch for them so much, i'm trying to understand why i'm not even working for them lol . Yeh, get them on bargains and you're on a winner - i got my lid for pretty much 1/2 price, my textile jackets are also 1/2 price from them. Best get your kit now before summer and also cos HG just released their 05 catalogue/clothing range and will be looking to shift old stock soon.

Hi, I have those trousers and the matching jacket, cost me £300 a couple of years ago when they were first released. I really like them, no major problems with either of them just a small rip in the jacket lining.

I know what you mean about the lining but you soon get the hang of doing it.

All my gear is from HG, stood up very well when i came off at reasonable speed. They even replaced the jacket after one of the zips was damaged when i came off. Like them so much i'm going on a track day organised by my local store!
