kinell Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 I bought one of the Hebo coats which was 100% waterproof until it went in't washer! It's like a sodding sponge now - I only wear it if it's cold. Best thing you can buy is a goretex job without a liner - you'll sweat like a good 'un so you'll end up p****d wet through anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beta boy Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 dont buy fanvy trials coats they get buggered if you fall of i whent to millets if you have when where you live and bought a kag in a bag there only waterproof no liner but does the job.

scorpion Posted September 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 a couple of the riders, on the trials tv dvd's have fancy ones, with a longer back (doug,cabestany) which i presume is to stop your ass getting soaked off the cagool, seemed like a good design , no one know who makes these? kinell, at least your missus knows where the washer is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boofont Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Perce is spot on with wiggle, also chain reaction. Mountain biking kit is far superior than trials gear, I use moutain bike gloves and they are lasting much longer than the Hebo pairs I've had before.

beta boy Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 marky boy, do you find your fox fluid jacket makes you really sweaty cause i have read reviews on the internet and most people say it keeps the water out but you may aswell not wear it cause you get drenched anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpion Posted September 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 wiggle is pretty good, got all my stuff today the jacket looks pretty good,but time will tell wether it's as good as the rating on the website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
