I got an Akito leather jacket a few months back. It is well scuffed on the edges of the armour on the outside of the leather. I do wear it daily, and do throw it down when I get into work / home. I cant imagine it is going to last more than a couple of years. Not sure how long leathers are meant to last though as its my first piece of biker gear Embarassed

I've got the jacket. Nice and toasty in winter and waterproof.

one of my m8s had the full kit, survived a roundabout tumble well enough.

plenty waterproof, looked ok..

seemed good for budget gear

Ive got the full set and find them ok. I rode in mine through some real cumbrian rain last week and they kept me dry and comfy.

Others have said they are leaky and shite though so its up to you. For the price they seem ok to me!
