Sorry to derail, But what is the hein gericke gear like? Does your g/f like it/find it comfty? Im thinking of investing in some of their textiles for myself but the nearest shop that stocks the gear is quite a journey away.

Oh, and before anyone suggests it, I dont like online shopping

hiya maria,

as far as I remember when she last had it on she was quite impressed with the kit - although she said it was "wierd being so wrapped up" (I remember the first time I put my 2 piece HG leathers on - felt like a skin tight superman costume).

I'd definitely recommend going to the shop and trying the stuff on - it'd be a right pain in the donkey to have to send it all back because it doesn't fit comfortably. We went to the leeds store where the guy spent an hour with us trying different bits and offering advice, then he gave us 15% discount seeing as though we'd bought a helmet, 2 piece textiles, boots and gloves.

Still a fair bit of money but the customer service and quality of the kit is worth every penny - if you use it

Bash hat. Oh and BTW, you need to be pretty slim with HG ladies, as any kind of "curves" will not help.
