    I had a set of Joe Rockets that I raced in. Unfortunately I got to "test" them twice and they were superb. They scuffed but didn't break a single stitch. I would certainly have another set. They also feel like a proper set of leathers, nice and strong with a bit of weight to them, not like some of those cheap flimsy sets you can buy.

    Infinity have a great price on Blaster 2.0 and SpeedMaster 5 trousers (No jackets online, but I'm pretty sure I saw jackets in Berinsfield last weekend).

    I had 3 sets of leathers at one point that I would use for trackdays and racing. Arlen Ness, Teknic and Joe Rocket. I left all 3 sets in a garage for a few weeks and the Joe Rocket set went mouldy (really bad, not just a light covering) and I had to throw them out, the others stayed fresh. The Arlen Ness ones are the only set that have survived to this day despite a few crashes and a hard life.

    Yeah. The guys at infinity reckon the joe rockets took a turn for the worse when they shifted their manufacturing after 2008.

    I'm still considering some though... For £120 you can't really go wrong... Sadly they have no jackets by the looks... And the zips aren't compatible with anything I have currently...
