I'm looking at getting some leathers, mainly for use on the track, I'm looking to spend about £150 maybe £200... I will be going to the BMF at the weekend so hopefully will find some bargains!

So, my question is... Which of the 'cheaper' leathers have you experienced? How were they? Did they stand up ok in an off? What brands would you reccomend in this price range? I'm thinking frank Thomas, hein gericke, RST.... Any others?

Thanks in advance!!

+1 for RST leathers.

I find the fit a little tight though.

Had Buffalo leathers which I got for arond £70-£80 second hand, if I remember. £100 to get altered to fit. Similar price for another set of orange leathers, also off ebay, forget the make.
Buffalo are a bit knackered now, but took a good number of crashes to achieve that state Smile.

Also recently got a set of Dianese for £130 secondhand - wouldn't have liked paying that much, but they are an excellent fit for me as is.
