If they fit you, especially the helmet; then yes.

If it doesn't fit you, then it's a terrible buy.

If it's your first set or you're on a budget, go for it!! Thumbs Up

Can you trust the sizing though, buying online and all?

Like the others said, if your xl and they fit then its pretty good. Your in bedford arent you? Theres a hein-gericke store in northampton that had a sale on when i went there to kit out my g/f recently. Loads of cheap stuff. Be an idea to try stuff on aswell, nothing worse than ill fitting motorcycle clothes. Evil or Very Mad

Hi, I just ordered my leathers without trying them on Embarassed

But it fits all good, just got the same as i am in jeans '34' & what i am in tops 'XL' Helmet i'm not sure about tho because if it's to small they might not change it because it could of been dropped.

I'm actually tempted, as i need clothing fairly quickly, only prob is that combined with the helmet i want i'll be about as visible as your average Assassin and look like a combine soldier from Half-Life 2 Confused

Hey, buying 2nd hand kit off the net can be a great way of reducing the initial costs - especially if its your first time.

One thing i would say though, is be careful of 2nd hand helmets. Although they may appear to be alright just by looking at them, i would be very very cautious. Afterall, you dont know if they have been dropped - if they have the protective material on the inside could be damaged, and therefore less likely to do its job if you have a spill.

Be careful. Thumbs Up

Watch the helmet if it has been dropped (not always easy to tell) you might as well rap a nappy around your head.

i think helmets mark really easily so if it isnt marked chances are it hasnt been dropped
