Good gear, expensive and ultimately worth the money. Not popular over here because they weren't marketed properly at all really.

That's really good to know. My bro did say when he bought them that they were good and a real bargain (think the original price was over a grand). Just need a decent and cheap helmet now!

Yeeessss... Probably. Partly because I like the style, the jacket's nice enough that I've often taken the armour out and worn it around town. I don't like race-look leathers at all but an awful lot of retro leathers are either cheesy or cheap, or both. There's some better contenders for that sort of look now than there were back then. Wolf again! I don't rate them so highly that I wouldn't shop around, that's for sure, but there's a fair chance I'd end up with another Furygan jacket. (the Brookland in black and white, if I could find one)

Oh, one thing, I don't like the armour they used in my jacket, it's CE approved but it's bulky and definately a one-use armour... it's a 2-part with a high density outer and a soft foam inner, but the inner rips up when it's used, and also compresses over time and hardens. I replaced it with T-pro stuff.

Nankai stuff's good!? My local bike shop sells nankai lids for £20.

Nankai lids are not made by the same people as Nankai leathers. Nankai Leathers were imported by Lloyd Lifestyle, Nankai lids are imported by Maxxis GB (Bickers). The two Nankais are two very different companies.

Hein Gericke are doing the PSX Track II suit for £149. Used to be over £300 for the suit, but they're doing the jacket for £149 (down from £199) and the pants free.

Arai Condor. Look around online and you'll find them for about 170 quid in plain colours

Lozzo any thoughts on these?

Gericke leathers usually have a good reputation for the price. I'd say go for it
