Grab a Bargain
 
Hi All.

If anybody is thinking of buying a new textile jacket then check out this link.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Shoei-Thiron-M...QQcmdZViewItem

I bought one of these in red just over 2 years ago. It is a nice jacket, the picture does not do it justice. I can vouch that the jacket is waterproof. Just don't wash it with detergent as I did a couple of weeks ago. I have now ruined the waterproofing. I have tried Nixwax wash and spray and I am still getting wet. I paid £100 for this jacket. This time I am goung to go for an IXS Gortex jacket.

This jacket kept me dry on a trip from Portsmouth to Kilmarnoch in Scotland when is poured with rain for at least one and a half hours of the journey.

I think at £49.99 it is a bargain.

Kind regards
Tim

£49.99 on Ebay, £42.54 using Carsick's link.

£42.54 + VAT is what I think he means, (ie £49.99 inclusive)

You're right, but the reason I was wrong isn't because I misread the link I posted, it's because I read the price you posted as £69.99, for some reason. :oops:

Edit: Just figured out how I got it wrong
