New leathers?

[Joe Blogs]

Hey everyone,

Im after a new set of leathers, wanting to spend around $2000, Im after a good fit, I am 6'2" and weigh 75kg, so need to be slim fitting leathers. I would also like a set if possible with a built in back protector although as far as I know only the Race Rep Alpinestars have this feature.

What is everyones thoughts on this? I tried on a pair of these teknicgear.com/xcelerator-1pc-suit/ yesterday, were nice but quite heavy and bulky.

And my current leathers are Ixon galactica btw.

Cheers
JB

My 5c worth.
I have Rev It suit and find it comfortable and llight. Had it for about 3 years i think and it's standing the test of time really well.
Otherwise Dianese. Had one of those too till it got nicked. So it was good enough to pinch as well.

2g is knocking on the door of custom made-to-fit leathers isn't it?

I 2nd the qmoto gear. had it for about 3 years and use it every day.

You might find because you are a taller skinny bugger the off the shelf stuff might be a bit short in the leg / arm for you.

Having said that - if you are after a zip together 2 piece, you might want to go a jacket and trou size up to fit a decent back protector. quasi has them too (check out qmoto under the shop area or qmoto.co.nz).

Jeepers you must look like a stick! 6 inches on me and within a couple of kg.


Try Qmoto first. Period. I think you'll be happy and you should get change out of your budget. Plus he'll be able to pad out the suit for you! :woohoo:
