curvento leathers- any good ?

[Temporary-Kiwi]

I rang them , they said $485 for made to my measurements, seems to know what he's talking about, said 2-3 weeks turnaround, that's for two peice suit, another $100 for premium leather., anyone had there gear ?

Went to track them down here in Kapiti, the address lead me to a multi storey appartment block, there was no information of how to find them on the Information board, and know one new of them, so trail ended there. I think they have an address in Wellington somewhere. I would do some checking first, and also have a good look at the product. Go and get some quality RST leathers can't go wrong mate.

Getting a look at the product may be an unlikely proposition, it is likely manufactured off shore to order. When I checked DuckDuckGo KiwiBiker came to the rescue.

so after checking trade me feedback and the positive comments from here, I've decided to order a set of 2 peice leathers from curvento, I've gone for there premium grade leather, which they inform me is covered if it gets ripped from doing it's job, so they do have faith in there product and are prepared to back that up, they say it will be delivered to me by March 18th, and they will fit me properly !

well I've had some troubles with the curvento leathers, I received them around about on the date suggested, I tried them on , sleeves on jacket too large around wrists.
but the pants were way too tight, I could only get them on by removing the impact padding.
I rang them , he quickly agreed they weren't the size id ordered
he got me to remeasure and he reordered them , on a priority basis, I took the jacket to his tailor prior to the hillclimb, and the sleeves were quickly resized .
when the 2nd set of pants arrived, they were also tight, not as badly, I had no option to wear them at the hillclimb , while on a run at the hillclimb , the zip that connects two halves failed.
I was forced to yank the zip slider off to be able to take the jacket off, so I've just sent the suit to the tailor to get that remedied, hopefully after that I can actually get some use out of them, they need more use to stretch fit me.
so while I'm disappointed with the hassles, they have stood by their product and are rectifying the faults.

I got some of these a few years back. The sizing was perfect. The only issue I had was with the quality of the zips.

In my experience decent leather gear will not 'stretch' a lot.

, the zip that connects two halves failed.
.

and you're surprised by that given the price you paid for them?
