Hein Gericke - no Gore-Tex Pro Shell Gear for 2012!

[original_concept]

Say it ain't so :-(


HG's 2012 catalogue no longer lists any Pro Shell items. Everything is Performance Shell, ugh.

The Master V has been downgraded to a Master Evo for nearly the same money!

Looks like my Master V replacement will not from HG this year.

HG seem to pulling in their horns. One of their biggest competitors, Polo Mail Order & Retail, almost went bust earlier on this year, but they're hanging on by the skin of their teeth.

I can't bear to buy non-Pro-Shell stuff - I've been spoiled.

You won't. Your Cruise is Performance Shell. So, if you're happy with that, you'll be able to replace it.

However, I'm with the guys who prefer Pro Shell. It's usually stupidly expensive but once you've used Pro Shell / Armacor, it's hard to go back to anything less protective.
