Gore-Tex not keeping out water? There's a different procedure to getting it sorted, and here's an explainer...
Nice quality gear from Dane, proved to be waterproof when paired with a Nimbus jacket. Still wearing well after 4 years but it’s almost as expensive as Rukka so durability is expected. Well armoured.
I wanted Dane textile trousers to go with my five year old Dane jacket. Sportsbikeshop had a deal on these trousers, £550 down to £400, a lot of money but I wanted some that worked.
I live on the South Coast but had two pairs delivered into the Birmingham shop, they were there the next day and I popped in two days later in the way to Scotland where I was spending ten days as a moto safety marshal working on the World Cycling Champs.
The guys in the shop were very welcoming and helpful and I chose the larger size of trousers, oops.
In 12 days I've done 1,800 miles some of those in torrential rain, the trousers have been 100% waterproof. Very recommended.
I bought these Jeans to replace a previous pair. They are stylish and don't look out of place in the pub or shops. Great quality with good armour in the knees. Pity that for the price they don't put the same quality armour in the hip protectors. However that's easily solved D30 fits nicely. If I have one complaint its that the front pockets could be a little deeper as they don't hold much. The GORTEX PRO works well and doesn't feel heavy after a good soaking. I ordered the braces which are an extra to complete the ensemble. They along with the magnetic button make life very easy. Impressed with Dane products and quality.
I bought the jeans and jacket. Both great gear. Jeans fit well and are comfortable on the bike. The material on the seat of the pants seems to prevent sliding. Zip to jacket with either short or long zip. short good for warmer weather. Only used in light rain so far and they did not leak.
I had never heard of Dane so it was a leap of faith to buy these top of the range trousers. Later found Dane was big in Europe but just not here yet.
The trousers are Goretex Pro so no soggy outer to worry about the lining is nice and warm. You can adjust the knee armour, hip armour pockets had foam in them which I replaced with D30. Snazzy magnetic button on the waist makes fastening easy with cold or gloved hands. There are fixings for braces on the waist band along with two zips for linking to jacket. Zipper on lower leg will accommodate full boot. Comfortable fit when riding bike. Overall very nice kit well made, warm and waterproof. I expect that this will last well it looks tough and solidly made.
Researched this type of clothing for months and kept coming back to these so I bought them, top quality and cost less than the rukka equivalent. Very comfortable & warm in cold weather, not worn in the summer yet but I'm sure they will be fine with the liner taken out.
Waterproof, small pockets, not a problem for me never use trouser pockets. Good adjustable waistband, nice feature on waist fastening seems magnetic and clips into a spring washer, to undo you have to slide across so trousers can't pop open while riding like with press stud fastening. No bib or braces ? Very pleased .
Expensive but dry trousers that I bought to go with the jacket. Jacket zips to trousers with either long or short zip. Kept legs dry during a thundery downpour, cool when riding in 30 degrees, and warm enough when temperatures were more typical UK summer. The zip to close up the lower leg over a boot seems good, but be interesting to see how it lasts. Lots of adjustment for different sized boots.
The pockets are quite small, big enough for a few coins and a tissue, but not much else.
Note that the trousers don't come with braces or hip armour. Bought the Furygan D3O hip protectors from SBS while in the shop to check size. SBS don't have (and couldn't get) the braces, but they can be found on the Internet relatively easily (should really be included given the price of the trousers).
Far better fit than the equivalent Rukka, no issues in use. Not tested in rain yet but not expecting problems from Goretex Pro.
