Looking for new suit to replace my Modeka

I bought a Modeka Panamerica set 3-4 years ago. I have been using it a lot, but I would still expect it to be in good shape after 4 years, but it is not. Any recommendations for a replacement? Good quality, 4 seasons, touring textile, comfortable...

I can only speak of my experience with the Oxford Mondial laminate suit. Great quality at the price. The new stromland suit looks good too.

Definitely get a laminated Gore-Tex suit if you ride all year round. I'd never go back to non-laminated.
I guess it'll depend on budget you want to spend

My RST laminated stuff is most definitely waterproof, and also breathable. Unfortunately they discontinued mine a year or so ago, and not entirely sure if they still do anything laminated.
Was the Sinaqua Pro laminate. Cheaper than Goretex, is it as well made? Who knows, but I'm dry!

Why not go on ebay and look for RUKKA? I bought trousers and jacket for £36 including postage and the suit is perfect. It keeps me warm and dry and it's very comfortable.

Oxford Mondial here too. Best jacket I've ever owned but it might not quite be 4 seasons or have enough touring style for some. The ventilation for summer is great.

Laminated is not necessarily the best... Even though the inside is breathable, not inside is best when it is really warm.
I have just returned from a trip to the Baltics, and my zipper broke totally. Spend 50€ fixing it, so I have a little more time to look for the right one now that the worst problem with the current one is fixed.
