After recently selling the race rep and leaving my one piece leathers behind it was time to invest in some decent gore tex gear. This Dainese gear is not cheap but i'm a firm believer in " buy cheap buy twice " so after some research went with the Dainese gear, jacket and bottoms, both gore tex, the jacket actually has gore tex as a layer within the fabric, so you dont have to mess about with a "liner" i like this idea better, that just leaves a thermal liner then which can be removed.

I wore this suit while away last year, on the way back to Rotterdam we had severe downpours for over an hour, when we got to the ferry i was still dry on the inside, all except a very small area around the bottom of the sleeves/glove area, nothing to worry about considering the weather!!!

Overall a great jacket ( with bottoms to match ) which i'd recommend!! you wont be dissapointed.

Bought Mine second hand. Wow what a jacket excells in everything. A bit weired when you first put air in the inner jacket But boy its makes a difference in the warmth of the Jacket. 100% weatherproof. The inner jacket comes out for summer riding. Armour is very good. Zips are brill too if not a little strange (they do up zipping down) I have the receit when bought new £757 in the sale !!!! I wish I could replace this with a new one but alas I dont have that much money to spend on a jacket. If I did i would deffinaitely buy another.

After getting cold and wet lots of times! I finally (after some research) bought the Rukka Armax suit. So far totally waterproof also as the Goretex is bonded to the fabric the jacket isn't soaked through and you don't the joy of putting a moist clammy goretex liner on!

Quality is top notch. Whilst I have worn it in the UK it may get overly hot in warmer areas or when you need to do serious bike manhandleing as ventilation is limited.

I bought mine from a German company on tinternet and saved myself £400 on UK prices!!

It is fantastic but expensive
