Just been to HG, to have a look at their Tuareg vented jacket @ £90. I liked the venting system, sales guy comes over and suggests a slightly dearer one with Cordura elbows, @ £109. But, it only appeared has vented arms, and it was waterproof, which doesn't bother me.
I said, the trouble is I've ended up with a collection of jackets, (Ashman leather, BMW Seattle, Hein Gericke winter jacket, can' t remember the name,)
Shame there's no all singing all dancing jacket. He produces this jacket, with the new Gore-Tex XCR. Jacket has armour that moulds to fit, Although being black I was put off. But no! Jacket has some super dooper reflective quality that makes it cooler than not wearing it.
So, I'm tempted, but it's £400
Most I've spent was £180 on the Hein Gericke jacket.
My concern is that it seemed a bit lacking in the pocket department, and the collar was just a collar, not the storm collar, like on the HG & Seattle jackets.
Now that I've realised that I'm capable of spending this extravagant amount of dosh on a jacket, I have questions for you.
Has anyone got experience of this jacket, what are the alternatives? Visited J & S, looked at a Rukka, seemed bulky by comparison to the HG. What do you reckon chaps? The HG had the heat reflective gubbins, think the guy mentioned Kevlar as well. Just too confused now.

Why spend that sort of money when my other jackets are ok. Might just as well wait until the winter jackets are knackered before I consider going down the "one jacket" route.
So much for the interest free & dropping the price to £350 then
