Re: A question RE race leathers
Those dainese are nice ^^^ like the idea of the back/neck protector thing.
Only thing I'd say to anyone looking at the same leather's I've got .... I didn't realise until I'd got home - you can't wear the jacket on it's own, suppose it's a good thing really in the way you can't be tempted to just go out in jeans but be warned

Re: A question RE race leathers
Mine's too short and looks odd on it's own as the trousers zip in quite high up. Maybe you've got the wrong size (I would assume it's me with the wrong size as they are a little tight{not sure if they're supposed to be like that} but I've seen people saying the same on review websites)

Re: A question RE race leathers
I had some HG sales bloke stalk me round the leathers bit, sized me up, showed me 3 different suits, I picked the best then made sure all was well..
So yep, right size. Mine arn't very tight either, just a snug fit for the top half.. Not to noticeably tight, but not at all lose. But the pants on the other hand are figure hugging hah.. Though, do you mind the jacket back sitting high? Mine does sit a little high without the pants, but it doesn't bother me to be honest. Last edited by Smoggy; 21-09-08 at 10:52 PM. |

Re: A question RE race leathers
I really like that alpinestars one piece. Not garish and you know it will be well made.
I have some wasp leathers which have saved my hide once and are still in good nick for the next time I fancy hurling me and the bike down the road on the way to Hartside Cafe. |

Re: A question RE race leathers
I have just purchased some Berick Moto Gp leathers from J&S. One piece leather are the dogs. They make you feel alot safer than 2 piece.
