One piece race suit, anyone?

[Edbear]

I got in some samples of leather goods to check out and am very pleased with the quality. However every man and his dog is doing them these days and I am not sure whether to pursue the brand, (Style), at this point.

I had the gear checked out by a well known and respected motorcycle racer here and he said the quality was right up there alongside his own race suit valued at $1900.00! This puts it in the $1500.00+ bracket for retail in NZ. I have attached pics, it's size 46. I am open to offers over $600.00 for the suit if anyone is looking for one but is choking on the price of them at the moment.

The gloves are a snug fit on me and retail for $75.00, (as good as gloves costing a lot more!) but I will sell them for $45.00 or give them with the suit if I can get $800 for that.

The back protector is $50, knee protectors same price.

I only want to recoup my costs with a small profit to make it worthwhile, while giving others the opportunity to get some gear they may not be able to afford otherwise.

Back protector looks the same as a quasi one.

Whos the racer that says its good stuff?

I'll ask him if he minds being mentioned.

Oh, scratch that, it says respected...............

Haha! Owing to his sponsorship deals he'd rather remain anonymous. However he was genuinely complimentary, and of course if anyone is seriously interested they are very welcome to have it checked out by someone they trust.

I don't have the necessary experience to make a qualified judgement. When I received the samples I was impressed but wanted the opinion of someone who trusts their life to the gear.

Of course he would...

It doesnt look that good to me mate

I would be very interested in the suit, colours even match my bike.

But I dont tend to fit the normal profile of fitting gear sadly. they should make fat mans versions.

And the small point im broke currently.

What - no discounted batteries?

Are these cheap Saudi suits?

How many stitches does it have?




Someone had to ask, and shame on you cunts for not doing so

LOL and here I was thinking you were going to ask about a warranty/guarantee but that might be considered a bit disingenuous

Nah, if quasi the resident leather expert has taught us anything, its that unless you gear has eleventy seven stitches per yard it ain't worth shit.

One might say not putting this in online trading is a bit disingenuous in itself though.

I wasn't sure at first, that's why I wanted an actual racer to check it out. I have the specs so I will post them tomorrow.

Racers are thick, it would be more benificial to have them assesed by somebody that actually manufactures leather race suits. Rather than somebody who justs wears what they are sponsored.

And an endorsement doesnt mean jack shit unless there is a name behind it for 2 reasons.

1, it allows the consumer to form an opinion of the review based on how they veiw said persons values.

2, it proves you arent lying.
