Where'd you get that kit for £230 Genie? Think I'd give that 1 peice a go although for summer riding I'd like to be able to take the jacket off for going down to the pub for beer garden basking

The 1 pieces are pretty cheap on there but think I really want that rift one. Don't reckon I'd wear the pro 1 peice plus its made of thinner leather than the 2 piece rift.

I'm stuck

find out what size you are and try using the forum discount? The fusion ones are even thicker than the rift and cheaper than on that site, I've just got the fusion jacket - happy with it. Also got an alpine stars 2 piece.

no issues with the leather on the fusion. i've seen alot of leathers that have more stretch fabric panels than leather. the fusion i feel have the balance right.
the 2-piece i have do have thicker leather but they weigh twice as much. they're great in the winter but blooby hot in the summer.
thanks again dave, coffee and scones your way soon.

haha no problem, ta. Will hopefully see you on a ride at some point. I've got an alpine stars octane 2 piece which held up okay in a 40mph tumble but I get the feeling in a bad'n the perferations will let all my blood and guts out :razz: I'm well happy with the fusion jacket though - just after some draggin's now!
