Damn, I had to pay for it, lol

HG used to do an armour upgrade on purchase, where you pay the difference in catalogue price between the armour fitted and the upgraded version and they part ex them.

I like the Hein Gericke Cruise GTX Goretex Jacket .......
anybody got one of these ?

I like'em too.

Popped into HG yesterday for a look a the Master suit and the sales guy recommended the Cruise GTX. He said it only lacked a few features of the Master but was £150 cheaper. Looked better too, what with not being uniformly black and all.

In fact, I was pretty impressed with the whole HG range.

Bought the Cruise suit today, just done about 50 miles in freezing cold, absolutely brilliant. Going on a rideout with some Kent guys tomorrow, so probably able to report on the waterproof aspects of the suit tomorrow afternoon. So far though, and it is early days I know, I rate this kit. It had a Ride Best Buy according to HG full page ad in MCN this week.

I've got the Master IV Jacket and pants. We had four hours of British Snow/Sleet and rain only last thursday. I was totally dry and warm. So thumbs up from me.

Just a shame my SIDI EVO Blackrains filled up like a water butt. I'm sure they're advertised as waterproof. Oh well, back to the shops.

As for the Hiprtec upgrade, the HG website states " there is an upgrade offer" what it is, I have no idea.

Now I'm mystified, 'cos there isn't one on mine At least, I can't find it so far, got a pic?

Great kit anyway, can also recommend the trousers, they have the braces and kidney belt attachment, brilliant.

Best bit of biking kit I have ever owned - you can put the two litre "camel bak" in the back pocket for those really hot days

Upgraded to the Sports Hiprotec last week. The deal is "you save £5 per two pads" on normal £20 perset. The guy at the shop gave me the deal and allowed me to keep all the old stuff You can never have too much protection Just wish that message would get to our over breeding CHAV population!!!!

They were going to fit a watch to it but thought better of it after thinking about removing the throtle hand to look at the time.
