I have just spoilt myself and bought a new jacket mainly with touring in mind. I have just taken possession of a Technic Sprint Gortech Jacket. Very very warm and dry. I am really pleased with the fit and the quality of manufacture and materials. Jacket has removeable armour in shoulders and elbows along with a 3/4 length back protector. Comes complete with zip out thermal liner and zip air vents for hot weather.
I would reccomend this product without hesitation!!!
