Motorcycle 1 piece leathers?

[0l0dom0l0]

i have a full textiles suit for everyday use but As i am looking at doing the occasional trackday here and there i know i need a full leather suit. and possibly for the odd weekend ride where i might want to go out and practise knee down etc.

now im only 17, and dont have ££££ to spend. was looking on the internet to get some ideas on prices, and stumbled across this, which looks great for the money....

What do people think?

It won't be that good.
If you are happy to buy online, better watch ebay for a used suit of better quality, a well known brand
A lot of stuff comes on there very little used and in some ways being a bit broke in is a nicer suit than brand new I think.

yeah, i will keep an eye out.

obviusly i will need to get sized up properly.

what brands would you be looking at ? that are cheap but good!

I got an Arlen Ness kangaroo suit for £300 off a friend, cost him £1000 new, only worn twice!

There are deals to be had.

Dianese
Alpinestars
Arlen Ness

Any of those should do you fine. RST are also good and very cheap.

yeah, that look pretty good actually!

wanted to try and keep the cost down as much as pos seeing as they are only going to get the occasional use.

i will go and try some different brands on locally, and see which i like the fit of best, then just wait for a nice set to come up on the web.

thanks for the help!

Just watch a few, get an idea what seems the going rate.
Ask them details so hopefully the size is about right.

Personally I would and do go secondhand. Some very good quality leathers, hardly used at very good prices.
