Alpinestars leathers jacket advice please.

[Dave20046]

I have the a*s octane suit it's very comfy, not too badly made (IMO, by the look/feel of it) and I like the styling (granted the advert is a bit big). However I've heard if you tarmac surf too long you'll lose sleeves and other bits.

cheers mate, u fallen off in it yet? (not nice question i know, soz) just want to know how it fairs

thx

Ye i used to own a RS50.
I just wore textiles on my 50, didnt see the need for leathers, were too expensive, textiles kept me warm + dry, and bought a pair of draggin jeans for summer.
Where you from mate?

im living in hemel atm, which rs 50 did u have? i got 2001 black

and just thinking that leathers are a good investment, cos they dont get old, so can use on bigger bikes

Hemel?
Be a bit more vague, if its in England, am clueless..
Black 07..
Been messing around with restrictions and that yet? :P

Love the new dp by the way.

Everyone hate A* leathers, gloves etc are ok.

I don't think £200 will get you much, however HG were doing the PSX Track II, 2-piece suit for £199 (or £149 depending on the store you go to). It usually retails for £380+ but you might struggle to get the sizes you need.

whats a dp?

i have crashed twice in my £200 HG celtic leathers, once over a car and once sliding across the tarmac.

IMO they did what they are meant to do, i will get HG leathers next time
