I use the nikwax wash-in stuff on my trousers (jacket has yet to be washed) - probably helps a bit but it won’t (and hasn’t) fix properly leaky kit.

It’s only drizzling today - you lot need to man up :slight_smile:

Buy Rukka and spray it in ACF50  job done

What size waterproof jacket are you looking for?

I’ve one here I’m thinking of putting on eBay. Its a XL Frank Thomas, its 100% waterproof tried and tested. It’ll keep you warm and dry whatever the UK weather throws at you.

  • People telling you there is no such thing as a 100% waterproof jackets

  • People telling you get goretex/ waterproofs from an army surplus store to wear over your normal gear.

People telling you about buying Goretex motorbike jackets, preferrably Rukka

Ha ha. My GF has a (very expensive) Rukka jacket which started leaking while it was still new. Yes, she should have brought it back but discovered a ten quid Muddy Fox jacket from Sports Direct, worn over it, works a treat.

Ladies…have vaginas?

Well I won’t entertain anything by Rukka anymore. Read the article “Rukka ain’t so pukka!” ( http://motorcycle-rider.co.uk/weblog-2/ ) where my friend’s Rukka jacket, that had a 5 year warranty, failed after 2 years.

Best way to stay dry is celotap bin bags over your leathers…
