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.

Bluefishman, u could also look at GP Leathers on tinternet, look great value, not sure what they are like since I have textile jacket, but spec on the GP looks same as anywhere else.

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.

thanks for replys, checked out gp leathers old git, they seem better than some even include sliders.
to dave, have seen the ones in for sale but don't have cash at mo, have to wait till payday, plus you can buy new for £30 more, and we all like shiney new stuff haha.

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