Anyone used Arlen Ness textiles?

[DanStw0]

Hi guys!

Just going through the process of getting my bike licence and I am starting to buy clothing for when I pass my test.

I am going out this weekend to look at some textile jackets and pants but have been looking on the net for ideas.

I have tried searching for peoples views on here about Arlen Ness as I have seen a jacket I would like to try on. But have had no real success in finding out whether they are any good.

This is the jacket in question - https://www.jsaccessories.co.uk/hermes/shop/details?itemId=2188

I quite like the style of it and it has all the normal protectors in shoulders, elbows etc..

I also like the idea that you can get pants to zip to the bottom to effectively become like a one piece suit for winter riding.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks

Dan

Hey mate if you're going to the Northwich one check out the Frank Thomas Titanium 2 pc textiles, I've just bought a set and they're fantastic.

Cheers for the reply...

Yeah I am going over to Northwich this weekend..

Will have a good luck round before I make my choice and will look at the Frank Thomas ones you have suggested...

Cheers

I only want something plain anyway.

I dont like the look of the tribal style jackets out there, I prefer something simple.

The Frank Thomas you suggested looks good especially with the grey accents

As a brand though which are better quality of the two?

JS sell a lot of IXS and there own brand to anyone know if these are good?
