Just a suggestion, but before you buy anything online, try the same leathers on in a bike shop. You'll be surprised at the differences in sizes between different makes.

I personally wouldn't touch RST with a bargepole, neither would Pete after his pair started to fall apart in less than six months, but we know other people who swear by them. It's all personal taste at the end of the day.

i went for a size smaller than my Generic stuff so if i have to squeeze in they will stretch to me nicely im not a big lad so should be okay,

i just order'd 3 crash helmets online from mick byrne but we (me and 2 mates) went to HG first to get the right sizes. have a look on that site jon seems good prices.

I was gonna buy the AGV stealth, but soon as I attempted to try it on the fitment was bloody awful on my nugget. Bought a Shoei Raid 2 instead.

I got the same leathers in gun metal silver. Very nice and comfy once warn in and plenty of protection too. Abit heavy i think but not once on. I got mine from www.bike-gear.com for £190 it was £110 off i was well happy with that. They then went up to £200 but now they have all gone. Great leathers though, enjoy!!!:)

Agreeing with other orgers too, get measured up. I added a couple inches to my chest size for comfort and i best not put on any weight haha :rolleyes:. They fit like a glove now though!!
