Teknic Freeway Jacket

I assume it was like this? Will just have to wait and see until it rains

Thanks guys, just been in and its being sent away. Got me a new one though becuase I need to ride to work everyday. The shop is going to ring me back when it returns so we will see then. They were not happy about giving it to me either but i'm a pushy bugger

Good on you. You were completely within your rights to be a pushy bugger!

Looks like the jacket that Dogs,Bassa,Yod and Kiwikat have? Never heard a complaint about them leaking and look the biz!

Yes that's true, mad.mike must have just got a faulty one eh...

I just got back from a very wet and windy ride from East Auckland to the North Shore and back wearing Technic gear and remained relatively dry...my jacket worked a treat but the pants not so much. Wet arse.

I've noticed this with the pants too but i have a hole in my seat that won't stop leaking long enough to fix it

I have one of these jackets,and have ridden for about 20 minutes in absolutely pouring rain...without the thermal liner in.I didnt really notice when i bought it that it didnt have a flap over the zip.When you put it on make sure that the flap on the inside of the zip is flat AND the "bend back" part of the flap is actually folded back on itself.

I____________________________ main flap behind zip has a little fold back part so theoretically any water getting past the zip has to run down and out the bottom

I got caught by that - it only needs to be once!
