It's not the goretex pro shell. As you say it's not the master. £850 was the sometime price of the master but it was available on occasion for less. Factor in the face to face discount that were sometimes avaible and I think it would be misleading to use the retail price as a benchmark. If you like the garment buy it or make an offer if that option is avaible. There are plenty of jackets for sale on the net. Or check out a new one. Jjh

This jacket is on eBay for £130. The seller doesn't know the model, and I can't find it by searching on Google images. I'm trying to work out if it's worth the money! Does anyone recognise it? Thanks in advance
Surely there must be some more info on the listing?
Waterproof, layers, goretex, trews attachment points etc?
I'd agree with the above that on the face of it, that seems a lot of beer tokens.
EDIT.....FOUND IT.
Certainly doesn't look like 130 squids worth to me !
I think I paid £150 for my Master V without the thermal liner, on eBay and about the same recently for a pair of Master V breeks. So that's a £75 or £80 jacket, I'd say.
Second hand Hein Gericke stuff seems to have gone up in price especially Goretex! Some seems to go for silly money, still I suppose if you like it/want something good items are getting harder to get?
There's a many Master IV Evo for £95. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hein-Geri...503?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item33a220148f
The seller prefers not to wash it in order to preserve the waterproofing. Exactly the opposite of what you should do.....

And tumble drying goretex restores its properties VERY well..........counter-intuitive maybe, but true

Well actually....if we're being precise about it, no it doesn't. Tumble drying restores the DWR coating on the face fabric. It doesn't do anything for the Gore-Tex membrane, although washing it probably cleans some microscopic shite out of its pores and helps it to breathe more easily.

Thanks everyone. I think it's overpriced, but may make a cheeky offer and see what happens 
That's the best way foreword. It's not like you really really want that jacket. I'd go £50 and see what happens. Jjh
Too dear. I bought a Hein Gericke Cruise on here for £50 a couple of weeks ago and a 2 piece Rukka suit for £250
For £160 you can get a new Weisse jacket, which is a well respected brand with breathable membrane, CE armour & zip-out thermal liner

Well I rate HG stuff highly and in trying other jackets etc have soon discovered that there are 'breathable membranes' and then there's Goretex.
Have HG leather troos and HG Armacor/Goretex Leather/Manmade troos - both excellent
Personally for a jacket I use BMW Streetguard but would feel very happy using HG Goretex (if outer shell - not liner jobbie)
