like this:

just says "fully CE armoured" - doesn't say whether that means back & hips etc or just shoulders, elbows and knees.

thanks ophic, it looks like they are padded on elbows instead of plastic inserts, but i mean how bad can they be, was looking at leathers today cheapest in shop rocket center was about £400

i'd phone the number and ask. if its properly armoured, then its seems like a bargain to me. However I don't use or know much about leathers.

swift aren't bad

Someone's selling some teknic chicane leathers on here, in the same colours. I'll bet they're better than swift ones if they're your size.

I like the teknic stuff. I'd get something decent secondhand rather than some misc cheapos.
