Too steep for me - lovely kit, but ludicrously priced.
I've been using a Cruise GTX suit that I picked up in the end-of-range sale a couple of years back and it's still going strong. Got a few niggles - the velcro has always been crap, and the zips on the cuffs have never stayed zipped up from day one. And the zip sliders have gradually been replaced with keyrings as they've fallen apart. But it's been used pretty much every single day and it's only let water in once, in the worst conditions I've ever ridden in.
For the money (550 quid all in) it is/was absolutely superb. A Master VI suit will, I suspect, be at least double that. I can imagine BMW-branded kit from a BMW dealer being bought by someone picking up their new BMW bike at that price, but HG-branded kit from an HG shop, not so much.
What's the modern equivalent of the Cruise GTX suit? The II seems to have gone now.
