Possible new leathers?

Hey all.
I'm appealing to the might and wisdom of the all knowing .org.
I have been looking into picking up an off season bargain set of leathers ready for next spring and came across these
http://www.topgearsuperstore.com/-mo...ge-p-4548.html
There is also a matching pair of trousers, totaling £185 for the two pieces. I have not seen anything about the brand though and wonder how others have got on with them, or if I should be steering well clear.
The same site also has a Richa Samurai jacket and trousers for £270.
If I go for the cheaper set though I cam afford a new pair of boots as my Black Rain's leak
I need to make my mind up soon though so I can ask for them for my birthday next week.
Thanks.

I bought a set of the exact same set but in textile. I liked the styling beacuse to me they looked sporty, but soon found them to be a cheaper set of textiles.
They aren't really waterproof and not that warm for textile kit. I then bought some Hein Gericke gore tex kit which is first class. However they were at least double and maybe tripple the price, the moral, you get what you pay for. I haven't seen the leather ones but I assume they are much the same fit which was good for me. I would suggest trying them on though if you have a chance because they do fit on the tight side.

Hope that helps a little

Cheers Nick, just the sort of thing I was after. I appreciate the price probably would equal quality and fit but thought it worth checking. I have a Dianese set of textiles for the winter which have been, and still are, great after almost 3 constant years of use. I'm now swaying towards the Richa set.

No worries fella, hey if someones getting them for your birthday ask for the most expensive set you can find!

what size is you?

I'm 6'3" tall, 44" chest, and (annoyingly) 35" waist. I have trouble finding arms long enough on normal clothes and have about a 34" inside leg.

ah poo, local shop has some sweet leathers dirt cheap down to his last sets at size 46 - think that's a weeman size

Try J&S accessories, Ive always found them to have some decent stock and a good price. My local one is a bit of a jumble and you have to rummage to find what you want, but they have some bargains.

That said I went to Hein when their sales where on and got some nice leathers and textiles at way under the norml rrp

if buying from heingericke wait til one of their discount weekends and use the '4theride.co.uk discount. That way you'll get their real bottom price.

Ha, ha, 34 waist too tight and 36 waist too big. I feel your pain brother! You know what though, the most expensive stuff always fits
