Ah got it, apologies. For completeness I use the Genuine Innovation ones and found them reliable: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Genuine-Innovations-Bacon-Tubeless-Refill/dp/B01MCYSRCY

Where you are getting cuts that don't seal, have you tried inserting "anchovies" to give the sealant something to coagulate around?
My own experience is of using 38mm Schwalbe G-One tyres over a couple of seasons. Used for 60/40 trails/tarmac, including commuting. These are tyres that don't have great durability as the "knobs" do wear down relatively quickly. However using the regular Stans sealant I have only had a couple of occasions where an anchovy has been required, and never had to resort to having to put a tube in. My bikes are stored in a relatively warm room (where our boiler/washing machine/clothes rack are situated), and found that the sealant requires topping up every 3ish months. (Of course now that I have said all of this I will constantly be getting flats now)
IMO it sounds like this combination of tyre/sealant hasn't worked very well, but perhaps a change of these and use of anchovies may help you continue to have faith in tubeless tech?

As in they don't retain their waterproofing? If so can this be topped up in a waterproofing wash?
Or do you mean the fabric tears easily?

Undecided, but hoping this leads to a much-needed range of shake-drys in colours other than black

Keen on the r8000 and stages if still available?
As I get a bit older I find myself getting increasingly cold on long rides. Particularly bad after a cafe stop. I have been looking at the Rapha Pro Team Training Jacket, and Brevet Insulated Jacket as potential Christmas investments to keep my hands on the feeling side of numb. Already doubling up base layers and don't want to wear too many layers as it becomes quite ungainly.
Ideally I don't want to ride around in ninja black, and unfortunately the pro team insulated jacket appears to be all but sold out. I'm erring towards the Brevet jacket in that case, but am slightly put off by the lack of standard pockets. Any thoughts on which would be a preferable winter outer layer?
