Track day leathers
 
Okay after a bit of advice here.

I'm booked to do the Lydden track day at the beginning of August and my leathers on't zip together. I have half a zip on the bottom, though nowt on the jacket.

When I bought them (Harpers), they said if I pop down to their place in Leigh-on-sea (where they manufacture Wolf leathers) they could run a zip into the jacket. I'm just wondering whether this is going to be good enough for a track day? The last thing I want is to not be allowed on because of sub-standard kit. So, does this setup sound like it will be fine or should I be looking for some alternative? The zip will be about 3/4 of the way round the waist.

Thanks
Luke

Best to check with the organisers.

BTW, your local alterations place may be able to do the work for you.

Should be fine with a 3/4 zip...

I was toying with doing a TrackAttack day at Donnington.
I phoned them this morning to check if two piece was ok (as thats all I have)

They said two piece where ok if they zipped "all the way round".
All the two piece I have ever seen only zip about 3/4 (4/5 at best) of the way round.

I think thats what they mean, rather than just an six inch or so zip at the back.

most of them are happy with a 3/4 zip but best to phone and check before you do it
