Wolf or Spidi?
 
I know this should really be in the gear section but I know more people view here and I need to make a reasonably quick decision, as in this week.
I have been given a price of £450 for a two piece Spidi Scarface, and the same for a Wolf set. They both fit very well so I need something to base my decision on. Does anyone have and good/bad/indifferent experience of either brand/suit?
Poll added for quick responses ;)

I've got a wolf two piece, had it for about 6 years now, never had a problem with it at all.

Cheers Mark.

Is it off the peg?

MY wolf textiles have lasted me over 2 years, hardly look used.

Seem very good quality products.

Cheers fellas.
Both suits are off the peg. I have found a few online reviews but neither seem to stand out above the other.

I've heard loadsa good bout wolf not heard loads bout spidi. I'd be inclined to say whichever fits the best though.

I've had Wolf and Spidi leathers. I didn't like the Spidi 2 piece much, leather was OK but not flexible so fitting wasn't great and wear was OK but lining aged quickly. The Wolf 1 piece fits well and that's largely down to the cut and finish. Good quality leather. Had made for me in their shop in Leigh on Sea but was a standard 42 so not 'tailor' fitted but made by order, all for £500.

I may be wrong here, but I seem to remember from a conversation with Harpers, it's only the 1pc suits that are made down in in Leigh-on-sea with the jackets and trousers being made offshore.

Still a good product - My first 1 pc was wolf. Never crashed in it; just lost too much weight for it to fit properly. I then bought Spyke which was also great and held up very well in a couple of offs. Now have Dainese, which the genreal consenus on here suggests that it is toilet paper! :lol: See what happens if I ever test it out, but for right now, the fit is perfect.

I have changed my last two sets because of fit rather than them wearing out/failing.

If I get to exhaust/destroy my current suit I'd definitely be interested in a wolf tailor made one for around the £500 mark.
Current suit is also reported toilet paper but mine held up fine in a 40-50mph road crash, I would still guess both the brands mentioned would be of a better quality though.
