My dririder no longer keeps me dry. I am commuting 160k a day and sick
of getting wet. Has anyone any comments on Rjays jackets? Do they leak?
I found some for $150, seems a bit cheap.
Any ideas about a jacket that really is waterproof?

Hi Paul, I have an RJays jacket which is about 5 years old and I'm looking to replace it because it leaks like a sieve. Has done for three years at least.

My Tiger Angel Element jacket - made to measure for about $700 - is reliable waterproof, the Aerostich (just under A$1000 landed for the 2 piece suit) is too. If waterproof isn't worth that much to you, then replace your cheaper jacket ever 2 years or so. Zebee >> Stay informed about: water proof jacket pls

Zebee is correct. Spend some extra money and you'll get a product that lasts. I've had a Spidi Route for 6 years and it still goes strong. I've only just replaced it for something longer and overall more practical (re POCKETS!), Rev'it Cayenne. The Spidi was just under $400 and the Cayenne I had shipped in for $500. Would love to splash out on a Roadcrafter in a couple of years.....heck might even pick it up when I go to the States. Don't piss fart around. Spend the extra dosh now and be happier longer. justAL "PaulT" <psa.TakeThisOut@jhgy.com> wrote in message news:478825a2$0$22095$afc38c87@news.optusnet.com.au... > My dririder no longer keeps me dry.

Plastic works but in anything over 5 deg.C it is most uncomftable and suitable for short periods at best. Then again if you only want it for your commute it may be worth considering as even if it rains all the way home thay'll be 1 1/2 hrs maybe. Capt. A.
