Default Quick! Anyone owned Furygan leathers?

I nearly bought a rather nice looking Furygan leather jacket today... Seemed good qality leather, solidly put together, and a good fit, but I decided to leave it, and maybe get it tomorrow if I go back to the biek show. So, anyone owned any of their jackets recently? Any advice?

No, but I always fancied some - is that any help?

One a serious note, Fiona, who worked for Alvins, swore by them- she had a couple sets, bought when she worked for Infinity. They look good and seem to be well made (as did the cute girl on the Furygan stand )

Mmm, good recommendation that, she fitted me for my first helmet... Insert helmet joke here. When I was in Infinity that day, I had to dodge spotty teenage sales asistants for ages till I could get her to talk to me

No reason she'd do that, we hadn't even met at the time. Now, when she worked in Alvins, then she was ignoring me...

Had Furygan for a while now. Great stuff, completely waterproof & very very comfy.
Size wise, measure your waist & add 12. ie if you are a 30 inch waist then buy the size 42 jeans.

Kevlar lined so should be better than normal leathers.

To be honest I bought Furygans because I like the look of them & the fact that they are waterproof. Never had a spill in them so cannot comment but they are comfortable & if you turn blue when trying them on then they will loosen off over a few hours to be a great fit.

DEFINATLEY wear them for about 30 mins before handing over your cash to ensure a good fit.
I don't think you will be dissapointed.

HTH.

Yup, got up about 8.30, opened the front door, got turned into a snowman Not entirely sure I'll be able to open the garage door either, there's a good 3 feet of snow piled against it and guess where the shovels are... Oh well. Never really got a chance to just look at the attractions yesterday either.

Think I'll get one online instead, I was pleased with the fit... And it might turn out to be just as well I got a new winter jacket yesterday
