It should do, just make sure you have a metal tank as its magnetic.

I bought the tank bag, base layer top & trousers and the gloves last time.

Really impressed with the tank bag, nice quality, good magnets and very cheap.

The base layers I think are a really good idea also, the only problem I've had is that I bought the biggest size available but if i wear both pieces at the same time they try to turn me into a string of sausages.. I know they're supposed to be tight but there is tight and there is 'intimate' Shocked

I wore the gloves from my home to work, about 9 miles, peeled them off my hands at work and threw them in the bin. They would make great divers gloves as they appear to be completely impermeable, my hands sweated so much in 9 miles that the inner linings pulled out of the outer material Sad

Thinking of getting a couple of pairs of base layers to use for work.

Cheap enough that I don't mind buying a few pairs and won't mind them getting too dirty from time to time when I'm not wearing the jacket instore

Is it me or have they removed some items from their original leaflet?

I'm sure they originally had textile jackets/pants and 2 helmets.

Crying or Very sad

Edit**

It depends on where you live it would seem.

If you are in London or just outside you get the full choice.

For the rest of us we get limited choice!

How nice!

It asks to input your town so they can show what items will be at your local store.

The only places that have the full lot is London and a few surrounding places. For Sunderland (my town) it only has 1 helmet and now textiles.

As far as I know it holds you together tighter, reducing the affect of vibrations. It also keeps that area of your warmer. Like many people, my misses is prone to kidney infections, so I'll be getting her one of these for when she goes pillion for longer stretches.

Afaik -

Kidney belt -

Helps bridge the gap with 2 peice gear
Reflective
Corset effect for fattys

From talk b4, if you roll down the road at speed, you internals can ' bounce ' about to the point of damage - death.

The belt feasibly can lesson your internal organs suffering that effect.

I 've got one, and it's great, i wear it half the time.

Just been in and came away with my winnings Laughing

got a pair of troosers, 2 pairs of socks and a set of under garments Very Happy

Im a 31" waist, and the M trousers were a bit tight.. not sure if it was just that pair, but i went for L as they have plenty of adjustment Very Happy
They're made for quite a soft feeling material, doesnt feel as robust as other makes, but on the knees they have extra layers, inside they are comfy as! Have waterproof vents, pockets and elastic braces Very Happy

The socks are decent quality, although very long!

The undergarments feel the same quality as last years, and are body tight, im a 38" chest and the size M fits like a glove.

The store in Kingston Upon Thames had the old B-square spine protectors! Which werent shown on the leaflet (even though B-square hasnt been in stock for a few years) Might be worth a look if anyone needs it?

Didnt try the helmets of but they looked good quality.

Hope this helps someone Very Happy
