Bering Leathers

[speedysi]

Has anybody got any of these? Im interested in any size comparisons with other makes. Ive tried Arlen Ness size UK44/EU54 and felt the arms to long. Alpineatars in the same size seem OK. RST felt to narrow across the shoulders. ANy advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks

What is it you are looking for, short or long in the arms?

FWIW I find that richa stuff is long limbed, furygan is shorter than the norm. I have not had any Bering leathers as yet but have had textile stuff in to review and the limb lengths seemed about normal.

I am 5'11" and broad across the shoulders and rugby player thighs too, my issue is my arse and thighs usually thanks to being built like a tank when I was younger

I found with Furygan leathers, the EU58 didnt fit, too snug all over though I managed to get my legs in well enough, if you are short they are definately worth a look in as my Crow jacket I had has now gone to a short rider and it fits him perfectly - I reviewed the crow on Bikechatter if you want to take a look.

Some kit can be a real bitch to get sizing right on, for the most part I find Europeans/French brands to be smaller sized than more international ones, Astars are actually pretty good for sizing but if you get an item to fit with long arms or legs the options usually are getting it altered to suit.

i'm the same build as above, and after trying every bloody leathrs under the sun i ended up finding that the HELD stuff was the best fit by far! i cold actually get my thighs/calves in no problems and they were nice and snug across the chest.

Thanks

And the slade write up is here:

Titan gloves to go with?

Held are actually one of Germany's biggest brands, they were taken up in the UK pretty recently by comparison to most brands which is why they are building the name here, being led by the former MD of Hein Gericke should help though

So far I have the Slade suit and Titan Gloves (drool), the slade suit has to be seen and worn to be appreciated fully and the titan gloves are designed and touted as the ultimate race gloves - pricey for most budgets though.

If you are near either Leeds or Leatherhead the GetGeared shops keep most of the range in to try on too.
