Looking for a bit of advice as will be buying my first set of leathers shortly, getting the jacket first. Sort of narrowed it down to either RST pro series( approx £250), or Furygan Dark( approx £360). RST seem to get really good reviews and looks as though you get a lot for your money, jacket looks good aswell. Not sure if the Furygan is that much better to justify the extra cost. Thoughts and opinions gratefully received!
RST's are amazing quality for the price, and are really comfy on. (I've had 2 set's now and would recommend them to anyone). I have also had a set of Furygan and have to say that the are about the same quality, and maybe slightly better looking. But for bang for bucks I'd buy the RST's all day long.
Personally didn't like the RST ok good value for money but when you try on a better quality suit like the Furygan you can justify spending the extra cash. I spent £550 on reduced 2012 Dainese leathers not the top model but they are mega comfy especially when you can be in them all day. Pop to NEC bike show the 2014 range will be out soon try some on and haggle like hell!!
I've got RST Slice - goes well with the Blade They are ok for the price, but I've had Richa in the past and would say the RST is not the same quality IMO. But its your choice mate - whatever fits & suits your budget.
Rst..... Great quality and here's some inside testing info... 75 mph at silverstone and didn't rip through !! Mwahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!!!
Had an RST 2-piece from 2003 ... very impressed. Granted, Dainese / Alpinestars etc are higher quality, but for the price can't beat RST. Surprisingly tho, they shrunk a lot after a while, so had to move on ... Ok, Ok, it MIGHT have been middle age spread ... Lol Sold them on to a guy from work and he's still using them to this day - top class kit
Place near me are doing the Astars GP plus for £270, over £70 off rrp, not much more than the RST.....decisions......decisions.....
Ive always had Dainese leathers, top quality n if u shop around tail end of the yr or early in new yr theres always huge price drops about.
I can vouch for the RST RST PRO SERIES LEATHERS 2012 WELL USED TRACK RACE 1 ONE PIECE LEATHERS | eBay
got a one piece richa and cant fault it,my rst two piece is 6 years old has seen all kinds of weather,sat in hedges and on stone walls in the isle of man,and it still hasn"t got a stitch loose just looks well worn on elbows,arse and legs,would defo buy another.
Crashed this year in rst and jacket is goosed , trousers scuffed but still wearable. Would defo recommend it. Replaced the jacket with a track tech evo. Was gonna go for the dearer one but too ventilated for me.
Cheers for that everyone. Tried the Furygan on at the weekend, would say there is defo a step up in quality from the RST. Just have to make me mind up I guess!
