Has anyone bought a pair of Triumph sympatex rider trousers?
If so what you think of them? I am considering buying a pair of these to wear for my trip to Barcelona in October, but at £195 a pair they better be dammed goood!
My local dealer offers a 10% discount on all clothing and accessories to RAT club members only he cant get hold of my size until November, grrrr. i have approach another Triumph dealer in Blackburn and was told he hadnt heard of this 10% discount to Rat members before.
Am i right in thinking that this discount applies to all Rat members buying clothing or accessories from Triumph?

Funny you should mention that, I was thinking along the same lines so I emailed Chris Neary as I knew he had bought the sympatex jacket and trousers.
He has done around 10000 miles wearing them and said they were his favourite gear, very comfy but not totaly waterproof, the jacket pockets leaked and the crotch on the trousers was a bit suspect.
I suppose you will have to make up your own mind but Chris's answer put me off buying what is a pricey bit of kit and I went for a waterproof 2 piece instead.
