Hey all, after some pikey C@#T nicked my Arlen Ness Jacket whilst helping themselves to my mates CG I need to get another. I'm not really sure what to go with really. I have no complaints with the Arlen Ness but I only paid 180 quid or it and now ones that are similar are more like 250 quid!

I'm looking to spend around 160 quid but don't know what make I should put my faith in. I'm after a kind of sporty style but not quite race. I want it to be prodominantly black with maybe white and grey, no colours. I like the look of the Furygan jackets and reackon I could pick one up second hand on ebay under my budget (any one got one?) What are Richa like? RST PRO range? (might be a bit sporty for me)

Any ideas/ offers? I'm a 42" chest if you think you might have something

Joe

Also, with HG is if you spend over 200 you can spread it over 10 months at no extra cost Thumbs Up

Ie Jacket is 250. You pay 25 for ten months Thumbs Up No extra cost whatsoever. I've just did this for lots of things for my bike.

I've been using 2 piece leathers from "Weise" for the last year and am very impressed. It's not a well know name, but they look pretty good and are decent quality, including Knox body armour. Worth a look! Smile

That stuff looks pretty good. I'm almost certain that 40% of what you pay for the likes of Alpinestars and Dainese is for the name alone

I quite like the looks of this one

Another one I have thought about is the RST Pro range? any good? A bit more sporty but they are pretty cheap on ebay.
