leathers suitable for repsol rr 9

hi folks im currently looking for leathers 1 piece was wondering if any of you would be so kind as to post pics and advice on best leathers looks !!! for a repsol cheers in advance

 

Looks are not important. Get leathers that fit you properly should be your priority!

 

i agree safety is a big issue but nothing wrong with trying to look the part also

 

Scott Repsol leathers - if you can find any. Here's mine that I got from someone on these very forums:



I live and work near Stoke - I'll look out for ya when the biking weather arrives

 

They were mine.. Great suit

 

Yup - still going strong

 

You look well on the Repsol mac...defo my favourite livery

 

Just need to find a decent lid that has a bit of orange in it

 

Have you seen janman Repsol leathers ?, about $750, seem to have a good review on the US fireblade forum, but I don't know much more about them.

 

Go down to your local store and try a few on and see what fits better. Try one piece and two piece to see what you like best.

I ended up going for a two piece Dainese suit as that seemed to fit me better than the AlpineStars or Arleness gear that the shop had. I've also crashed in it and it seems to have held up well in the fall. I've had it 4 years now and i think in the summer i'll maybe go for a 1 piece suit next time. Local store is starting to get stock of Spidi and Revit gear that seem good value.

Alternatively if you can afford it, you can go down the route of made to measure suits. Scott, Held, IXON to name but a few will all be happy to help you out.

 

Any use ?

 

Oooh - that looks nice!

(thinks of ways to sweet talk the missus....)

 

Try before you buy mate ! Ive got the M6 carbon.. Lovely looking helmet and super light but i think i will be going back to Arai as a few things about it I'm not entirely happy about ! The M5 is close to the face and doesn't fit everyone too great either..

 

Yeah, I always try to do that now. Made the mistake of getting a Shark lid without trying it once, that was too big. I assumed that sizing would have been the same as my previous Shark lid. Sadly not...

 

Nice one Stevie_d
