Hein geicke is your best bet . I have a 2 piece set of yellow leathers in the celtic design . I have been down the road in the a few times now and they are holding together very well . The fit is fine and the price is not too expensive . I would say they are mid priced and you only really get whet you pay for anyway . Try their website .

type celtic hein gericke into google . The first option should be from "bike chatter" and this will give you a full review and a pic of the leathers in yellow . Sorry to say that mine are celtic and not tribal in design .let me know hoe you get on . If you want I will post some pics of mine so you can see what they look like .

Try not to worry too much about the leg length as the end will be tucked into the boot and that half way up to your knee anyway . My leathers sit about 2-3 inches above my ankles but about 8-10 is tucked in the boot . think about where any padded areas will sit and where the protection lies once in the riding position .

Those are absolutely awful, to be fair they look like a good design but they couldn't even get the Suzuki S logo right. You can bet they are cheap and nasty leather slapped together in SE Asia somewhere for pennies, they'll probably fall apart in months and I certainly wouldn't trust them.

In all honesty, after reading all the suggestions made so far, you'll be better off in Hein Gericke Celtics than you would be in Dainese or AlpineStar leathers. I'm no big fan of these two brands, and my view was upheld yesterday after talking to the head instructor of a trackday company. He was saying that the people who wear those two brands usually need a new set of leathers after even a low speed spill on track. he's seen seams burst on relatively light impacts to new leathers and Dainese in particular will shred to bits on tarmac in no time at all. They might be expensive and have all the hype/sponsored racers/image, but the crap they retail to the public is far from good and nothing like the quality of the hand made kit the sponsored racers wear.

Save your money, forget Dainese and AlpineStars, they're rubbish. If you really insist on spending that kind of wedge, buy some MJK, Hideout or Scott made to measure leathers. Don't bother with BKS any more because they've sold out to Frank Thomas, and we all know how crap their gear is. Unfortunately, Crowtree are no longer taking orders as the owners are retiring, which is a great shame as they made some of the best leathers ever.
