Resurecting an old thread. After much procrastination and a good deal of advice, I made my decision after a visit to the great team at Motolegends. We had to travel the length of the country, but there I was able to try various brands of jacket and get what I thought to be very sensible suggestions.
I eventually fell for the Stadler Supervent 3.
It took a bit of time to sort delivery, but I'm glad I waited. The fit is good, though it's not the most supple of jackets, it feels great. So good that I've since bought some Stadler trousers to replace an ageing pair of Rukkas.
To be honest I've not spent and age wearing either jacket or trousers and have not been for a multi day tour, but have been using them for days out. I got caught in a downpour whilst riding in the Borders last week and remained perfectly dry.
There are perhaps jackets out there that are marginally more comfortable, but to be honest I can put up with stiff shoulder pads as long as I have the confidence that they will do their job and that I remain dry and warm. The Stadler ticks all the boxes for me.
Expensive but worth it.
