I bought a Held jacket a few months ago and the quality and attention to detail is amazing. It’s Goretex and part of the Quattrotempi collection, which is incredibly expensive but I got mine half-price at Infinity
Yes, in my experience it’s worth paying more if you can. I don’t think I would have paid full whack though… It would have been over £400 :w00t::pinch: But I can certainly vouch for the quality, so it would be money well spent. But do check Infinity, they seem to have amazing offers every now and then.
Should also check out the Alpinestars RK-5 Goretex - at the top end of your price range but available at J&S Accessories. I’ve been using one for the past two years on an almost daily basis.
If you current jacket only last you 2 years then it is worth spending the extra on Rukka…as it will easily last double that…especially because it comes with a 5 year guarantee
