bmw streetguard 2 jacket vs alpinestar drystar jacket

[number1barber]

I brought this jacket from a friend who it didn't fit properly.

This jacket goes for about £550 and my last jacket was £180 alpinestars drystar.

I got this jacket because it has pro layer meaning the the goretex is bonded to the outer so no inside membrane.

the alpine stars would get heavy in sustained rain 1hr plus and although i stayed dry would takes hours to dry out.

this meant stopping for lunch was ok until you had to put the heavy sodden wet cold jacket back on.

The streetguard is a different animal all together it does not gain any weight whatsoever that i can notice. The outside is damp at worst and is quick to dry so stopping for lunch is not issue as the jacket is not really wet when it comes time to put it back on. i would always buy another now or consider any pro layer jacket
