Bering Textile Jackets

Arrived quickly as usual. first thing I noticed is how light the jacket was, tried on, I always go 1 size up 3xl very comfortable on only wear a t shirt under and warm enough also used in the rain and completely dry, excellently made

This jacket oozes quality and is utterly GORGEOUS!
The magnetic zip is a WELL smart idea, no more fiddling doing it up and am sure it'll help keep the zip working longer.
The feel of the outer material is soft but tough and the liner has a duvet like thickness to it.
It IS expensive but considering it's plushness, from materials to armour and functionality, it's worth the money.

My review is based purely on the jacket itself.
I haven't worn it riding as
unfortunately the Cobalt doesn't fit me 'right'. It's a great fit except for the shoulders being too large which means the armour won't do it's job if it had to.
Sadly am returning this jacket for an exchange.
SBS are being as EXCELLENT about this as ever. Especially Sam Dann in customer services, who answered my queries regarding this jacket before I purchased it.
Many thanks for letting me try it.

Was looking for a replacement Gore-tex jacket (as my Dane Sealand no longer fits - for sale on eBay if you're interested :0 ).

I tried on a few variations including Rukka, Klim and everyone's favourite Richa Cyclone jacket. They were all good, but not great!!
Then I tried on the Bering Hurricane GTX Gore-Tex jacket, and my body replied "Thanks, that's the one". So comfortable, so light, soooo good looking with the small red flashes and the reflector strips. I was blown away.
Tried the Richa on again, then this one again, and the difference in weight was really noticeable.
You can really see that this jacket is near the top of Bering's offerings, the attention to detail on the whole jacket is evident, from stitching to armour, from the zip in lining to placement of pockets. Just a solid, well made item. One to try on if you are looking for Gore-tex but don't want to pay Rukka/Klim prices.
I've been on-line to extend my warranty from 2 years to 5 (check out www.tranamwarranty.co.uk to do this), because I cannot see myself needing another jacket for at least 5 years.
