Is this suite worth the money?

**jimdaworm** · 13th November 2005, 11:11

How much do you think this suit is worth and is it a good one? At the moment I only have non-leather protective gear but I understand that decent leather gives better protection.

Anyway this suite looks to be my size.

A suite, eh.
Is it comfy and is it a three seater or just a 2?
Will it fit in your lounge?

...nah - if it's a Spidi - normally pretty good quality.About 1600 new I think

True, apparently the new ones have a hump around the neck??

We're getting our suite recovered in leather. The recliners will be extra comfy.

How much is Quasi selling his leathers for?

**myvice** · 13th November 2005, 11:55

Sounds like a good deal, why do you want the hump? Do you ring bells for a living?

That's because suite and suit are two different words.

And the hump on the neck is purely for aerodynamic effect over 200km/hr. You can push your back up, smooting the airflow over bike and rider so that the air breaks away from bike and rider in a smoother fashion with less vortices and therefore less drag. Also the further away from the bike the airflow departs from your wake, the less drag. The hump smoothes the airflow over the helmet and onto the rider's back.

I asked my dentist and he said they look good.

Wish I bought my Spidi gear for that price.

You wouldn't normally get either the jacket or the trou for $500. If it's reasonably current and it's "unscuffed" It'd be worth a look at least.
