I watched a guy's newish Dainese suit unravel itself from his body like a toilet roll during a 90ish mph crash at Mallory. When I've been working in my mates bike kit shop I've seen numerous expensive Italian leathers with enormous wear holes and burst stitching. That's pretty much what puts me off the Italian makes
It's seeing things like that, and watching a lot of KRC endurance racing that prompted me to buy my MJKs. I've watched the same guy fall off three times in one 6 hour race at Donington and push the bike back to the pits with barely a scuff on his MJKs
