    I've just taken delivery of an Arc-on supersport suit. I am very impressed indeed.

    Maybe its just me but I had never really noticed the brand before but they appear to be all over BSB superstock.

    Its the same as the attached here.

    £599 which I think is stonking value having seen them and read up on them. If you're on the smaller size (like 36-40) there are a few cheaper sets on eBay right now. Check out their website....Home | arc-on Motorbike Leathers

    Exactly and any pics of me in leathers you may of seen floating round the forum, I just want to point out that they are fitted with a belly protector which can from some angles make me look a little fat! It just shows these ''photographers'' on here aren't very good!

    I wear Wolf I piece Kangeroo, they are black and have speed hump, they fit like a glove and light in weight comparison to 'normal cowhide leathers'
    In my opinion, unless you have lots of money, stay with black, if you want to change your bike in a few years time, you may regret having bought coloured leathers.
    You could add colour with paddock jacket etc

    I tried on a seat of RST Tractech R leathers recently, they fitted really well. A bargain at £399 complete with a full built inback protector.

    RST TRACTECH R leather one piece Road & Race suit RED/BLACK | eBay

    I just couldn't bring myself to buy a set of black (with some red) leathers. If there was a white (with red) colour scheme I would have had them.
