Recommendations for White 2 piece vented leathers?
 
Hi there,

As I'm moving to a bigger bike (GSXR750) pretty soon, I thought I'd get my act together and get some decent leathers. I've always wanted a set of white leathers and I've heard that 2 piece is the most practical. I usually get very hot in the summer and was looking to get vented ones too. I was wondering what make and model people have got and whether they would recommend any for my needs? I'm 5'8" by the way :)

Yeah what Sid said but if you do make sure you aren't flabby, white ones will make you look fatter than you are.

Black and White look good though. Spend as much as you can afford. I like Berik leathers, good for the price.

Ah, when I said white, I didn't mean completely white. Iactually meant mostly white and I don't mind black panels as well.

Also I'm not too flabby so I should be ok, also planning on riding quickly enough so that no one has a chance to notice the belly :)

just go for all black. that way if you change your bike you wont have to change your leathers.

If you get hot in the summer then don't buy leathers.... even vented ones will not give you the same air circulations as textiles

..........JUST WHY????


I've got leathers, a nice set too, with white bits on, to help with the old girly image, make me feel less like a bloke in summer

BUT


I flippin hate leathers, give me textiles any day. They ain't hot and sweaty, and damn uncomfortable like leathers, they breaaath :cheers:

I have an alpinestar dyno 2 jacket already and it's not too stuffy, it has zipped areas with netting inside which allow for cooling. I'd presumed vented leathers had the same..?

@T33OWL: What model is this and I presume these aren't vented?
