Dunn-y

I bought a set of RST Tractech leathers end of July. Between then and now I've worn them maybe a handful of times. I've been caught out in the rain once but promptly wiped them down and left them to dry naturally.

Last month I've noticed they were starting to bubble and crack so got them sent off to RST which have just informed me they are water damaged and will continue to deteriorate and eventually fall apart and they no longer want anything to do with it.

These cost me over £400 a few months ago and they're basically telling me that because they got wet once, they're ruined? I've had a few budget sets of leathers in the past, worn in all weathers and they are holding up fine after years of use. These didn't last 2 months.

Do I just have to suck it up and accept I've wasted £400 or is there something I can do?

Thanks and sorry for the rant. I'm a little p***** off as you can imagine.
