Im on the lookout for new gear atm. Went into Red Barons a week or so ago and they recommended a Dririder Nordic 3 jacket and matching pants. Price was very roughly around $600 all up.
Anyone got any experience with these? I have read a few Aussie reviews but they seem to be old and for older versions. They didnt say anything good about them. I really need something thats still going to be waterproof 2 years down the track ideally, longer if possible.
I did see another jacket there which was a full blown touring jacket for around the $500 mark from memory, cant remember the model or anything, I have a feeling it was an RST jacket. He didnt seem too enthusiastic to sell it to me, he really pushed the dririder gear.
I need something thats waterproof, gets worn practically every day, can handle it raining cats and dogs from time to time for reasonable periods of time and has friggin waterproof pockets!!
My current set is a set of the 1tonne All Season Explorer jacket and the Ultimate Ranger pants. They have been reasonable but the jackets membrane is stuffed, and the pants started leaking last night in the nice weather. I sort of expected to get more than about a year out of them. In saying that I think the pants are still good for normal use.
