    Ever seen any aldi Gear hold up to a stack?, I have seen a guy go down at around 15-20 in a textile jacket and it tore chunks out of it

    Wore the thermal pants and socks on ride today. Would not know you have the pants on, they are so comfortable and warm, socks good too.

    Good to hear ...I bought the pants cuz the top was so good.

    I would have been there today to test them out also except my f***** ex decided at the last minute that her social life was more important than having my son. :mad:

    Any stack can take chunks out the jacket. All depends on the road surface. Not always on speed.

    To me gear is a consumable. If I go down, depending on the damage it might get thrown. However, if I may be a little iffy about putting it back on again. Just like a helmet. If it only saves you once, it's done the job.

    In the words of a famous tyre manufacturing jingle:

    "If it only saves you once a year, it's a Goodyear"

    Guys any tips for making the jacket fabric more pliable - or is a cycle or two through the wash a good option?

    peace out

    Yea I bought the jacket last year and found it very very stiff ..... maybe a few sessions in the wash might be a good option.

    I'm going to give that a go - I have a second jacket so it can take as long as it needs to dry
