RST Paragon 1202 - Opinions?

[Ingah]

After an unfortunate accident on monday (read: pants delivery scooter's binding rear brake had me off in the wet), i've ripped my spare textile jacket even more than it was already (yes, the spare. My main jacket went back under warranty for not being waterproof and i've informed i'm not getting it back, i'm getting credit instead )

Obviously the temptation is to totally skimp out and try to find the cheapest thing that fits, but i got a feeling that's part of the reason why i keep needing new gear all the time

Anyway, forgive my rambling - i've found a jacket (titled) that promises quality and even seems to fit me (8O). But before i part with more of the bank's money (i'm gonna have to pay this back sooner or later ) i wondered if anyone had bought the jacket before, and what they thought. I'm especially looking hoping to have it confirmed as waterproof (not just shower resistant) and long-lasting even when used regularly (maybe i'm just unlucky but little to none of my gear lasts).

Ingah mate, if your jackets are falling apart as easily as that, I`d seriously consider a good leather one and get an over jacket for when it rains.
