I also have a HG Tricky 2 suit, it cost circa £500 for top and bottom, I think it's great, looks good for textiles and does what it's supposed to! I've not done that many miles in it yet but what nasty windy/wet weather I have been through I've come out the other end of it just fine. I'm waiting for the colder weather to try out the zip-in liners too...

From what I can find on the net, the equivelent Rukka is a nice round grand for the trousers (Goretex Proshell seems to be the main reason)

Master V is Pro-shell and has the new Lock-Out zip. Rukka equivalent is more expensive than HG. Even better though use the offer to get £80 off the trousers!

Yeah, I tried to link it but it wasn't having it.
IMO If you can get a goretex suite for £350 then I'd go for it, surely no other bells and whistles they can add could justify a further £500 quid (if you were considering the master). It's waterproof guaranteed for 5 years (iirc), if it isn't then money back time...you need to save those pennies for oil and trainfare

Yeah, so I can be turned into the michelin man any time someone thinks its funny. From what I've read so far, its a case of justifying the cost of the pro-shell stuff over the performance shells.
