One piece leathers for $1,000 ish - any recommendations?

[swillisam]

Hi, does anyone know where I could pick up a set of one piece leathers for around $1,000 in Wellington? Anyone have any recommendations?

I'm around 1.75m tall and 70kg so will need a small - medium sized suit.

I tried TSS in Alicetown in the weekend however they only had a pair of cheap leathers for $500 or the next leathers were around $1,500.

Will have a look at Motorad at some time too.

why not spend 500 instead of a 1,000 then hehe.

I know you can get custom ones made up which is probably the ideal situation, Celtic leathers and Leda leathers have been recommended to me on numerous occasions.. I got some brand called minotaur custom made for my size, 4 seasons in and a few falls and they are still all together in one piece. I got my eye on Celtic next

revit are running a special on the...derp cant remember the model right now....they're a $1200 suit down to like $800ish

dunno who the revit reseller in wellington is though.

I have some 2 peice spidi leathers for sale if your interested

I would have spent more on leathers but I need to buy two new tyres and pay for rego at the same time so the bank balance is looking the best :(

Will have a look around for those Rev'it leathers, could be a goer, cheers

They also have Technic lethers for around $850

Custom made from Leda aren't much more than that and would be a far better fit than anything off the shelf

Try these... the guys are great to deal with and the advertise on here..
I got some 48's last year and rate them as a good set, well made and no issues with them to date

It may not be $1000 but I've crashed in mine over 14 times (x2 times last weekend) and they are still working mint! Remember that good crash protection is more than just the leather/stitching etc...its what armor you have in them too...Qmoto uses Knox armor and this is renown as one of the best in the world....i can attest to its quality! :facepalm:

Trademe!
I got a brand new Gran Premio Dainese set for $600 from a guy who had bought them a size to small.
He paid over $2k! Top spec with Titanium inserts etc.
Just keep an eye out, plenty of bargains to be had out there.
