Hein Gericke Tuareg Sierra Gore-Tex Jacket?

[freelancer2011]

Hi,

Does anybody have one of these?

How has it performed for you?
How long have you had it for?
Has it failed on you?
How has the removable Gore lining worked-out for you so far?

It seems extremely well-made and thought-out. However, just wondering if it works out in practice.

Cheers,
Lab.

Yes,I've had one for a year now,good points:well made,versatile (use it all year round),very cool in hot weather,warm in cold weather,excellent armour.bad points,collar size is irritatingly small,so much so I can only just put a neck tube under,and though goretex works,realistically,you will still end up feeling wet in heavy rain because the outer just soaks water up despite me proofing it.
