Ive got a set, what is it you want to know?
You already sound like your mind's made up that you want a set.

Well they are very comfortable once on.
I have a two piece set as it offers a bit more flexibility that the one piece, plus the one peice have that stupid looking little wannabe race hump on the back.
The armour has a tendancy to move about in the lining and sometimes you need to jiggle it about a bit to get it in the right place. Thats the biggest complaint I have really.
The zips were a touch small I thought when I first got them after being used to a more chunky zip on my older leathers, but hte HG ones are fine onc you are used to zipping the top and bottom together.
The front zip is windproof unlike my IXS leathers, and doesnt let a draught in to cool your chest, which is great when the tempurature drops a bit like it did last night when I rode home to chessington from Oxford.
The inside of the legs are kevlar stretch panels allowing a lot of freedom of movement to get your knee down if thats what floats your boat.
They come with knee sliders as standard, with the soft eye half of the velcro in the trousers so they will take pretty much any standard slider.

You can get upgraded armour which is thinner and much much more comfy. Get it for the arms, but I wouldnt bother with it for the shoulders.
They come with a built in back protector in a zip pocket, but I binned it as I have a Forceshield protector, built in protectors dont cover the lower part of your back.
The lining zips out making it easy to clean.
Stitching is all good quality.
Make sure when you buy them that you get a good tight fit, they will stretch to the next size up after being worn in for a while.

I grip the tank between my knees when I ride , and on my old leathers I could get a good grip on the side of the tank, with the HG ones I find them slippery, but I put that down to the fact that its new smooth leather and it will get better as the leather beds in. If not Ill get a roll of that grip film from the californian bike school.

They have a big star on the back, front and the elbows, and Ive been asked by about a dozen people so far (none of whom ride bikes) if Im linked with the masons at all, apparantly the star is the same as a masonic star the way its laid out in a circle.
Well you live and learn.

Hope that helps.

I like them, although the zip between the jacket and the pants is exactly that. Pants.

They've held up very well in a crash, and only set me back £100. (Last years style).

Those are not the celtic leathers and are a different set Gaz mate.
The armour, lining and cut are different on the Celtic leathers, and the pattern on them is striking too, with the masonic star motif on the arms, chest and back.

I realised it wasn't celtic, I think it's called tribal. But I assumed the overall quality would be the same.

Just beware of the way the top zips to the bottom, it's all held by the lining, which tears quite easily.
