Quick! Anyone owned Furygan leathers?

[northwind]

I nearly bought a rather nice looking Furygan leather jacket today... Seemed good qality leather, solidly put together, and a good fit, but I decided to leave it, and maybe get it tomorrow if I go back to the biek show. So, anyone owned any of their jackets recently? Any advice?

No, but I always fancied some - is that any help?

One a serious note, Fiona, who worked for Alvins, swore by them- she had a couple sets, bought when she worked for Infinity. They look good and seem to be well made (as did the cute girl on the Furygan stand :wink: )

Mmm, good recommendation that, she fitted me for my first helmet... Insert helmet joke here. When I was in Infinity that day, I had to dodge spotty teenage sales asistants for ages till I could get her to talk to me :wink:

She was avoiding you :lol:

[northwind]

No reason she'd do that, we hadn't even met at the time. Now, when she worked in Alvins, then she was ignoring me...

Had Furygan for a while now. Great stuff, completely waterproof & very very comfy.
Size wise, measure your waist & add 12. ie if you are a 30 inch waist then buy the size 42 jeans.

Kevlar lined so should be better than normal leathers.

To be honest I bought Furygans because I like the look of them & the fact that they are waterproof. Never had a spill in them so cannot comment but they are comfortable & if you turn blue when trying them on then they will loosen off over a few hours to be a great fit.

DEFINATLEY wear them for about 30 mins before handing over your cash to ensure a good fit.
I don't think you will be dissapointed.

HTH.

Yup, got up about 8.30, opened the front door, got turned into a snowman :) Not entirely sure I'll be able to open the garage door either, there's a good 3 feet of snow piled against it and guess where the shovels are... Oh well. Never really got a chance to just look at the attractions yesterday either.

Think I'll get one online instead, I was pleased with the fit... And it might turn out to be just as well I got a new winter jacket yesterday ;)

Did you ever buy the Furygan's???????

[northwind]

Funny you should say that... I just cashed in a stock option from my work and it's looking for a good home ;) Probably getting the Furygan Oyster jacket once the funds come through.

By the way, how nice is this?

Not really what I'm after but still ace IMO.

I have one of there blue ones... even crashed in it... might be wearing it soon as the weather is warming up.

Oyester is what I have. A friend of mine also bought a Furygan 'Elrond' jacket. It looks brilliant but he bought the "vented" model which looks like a tea-bag.
In my opinion (& my mates) DO NOT buy the vented jacket as he freezes everytime he goes out in it.

It cost him £280 & now is mostly worn to the pub!

Is it a leather jacket? you mean like this one (http://dbase.slocombes.com/cagallery/Furygan/Elrond)?
Because the vented version looks like this (http://dbase.slocombes.com/cagallery/Furygan/TXVR_2) and only cost £189 :roll:

The second photo is a textile jacket. My mate bought the vented leather one as in your first picture.

I would not advise getting this one (vented). By all means get the non-vented one.

Well, my Oyster arrived tonight. Lovely, just lovely. Extremely well made, comfy, thick but soft leather, and appearance-wise it's exactly what i was after. Delighted. I already knew it'd fit, so no shocks there. £210 off Ebay, but it's basically new. I'm reather pleased wth myself tonight :) But, no doubt I shall crash and ruin it in due course.

Mainly it just amuses me that my longest running thread ever started out as a frantic attampt to get an answer in one night...
