My dirtlej core turned up a couple of days ago from the German link I posted. Quality is exceptional – almost too thick a material.
Ordered a medium (5’9 and a bit, 78kg, 31″ leg). Fit is good on the top half and waist but slightly long in the leg. Don’t think this is an issue though as it means better ankle protection as it won’t want to ride up.
Will be interested to see how well the ventilation copes/works.
Plan to use it for those weekends where I need to get out of the house regardless of weather, night rides in winter and as a safety net for those planned trips where you’ve got a weekend in Wales/Scotland and the forecast looks terrible!
Will report back once I’ve tried it out…
