[smilo006]

Had an off last weekend, highside and landed on the seat of my leathers and took a short tour down the track. The leathers are a couple of years old and lightly used. However the seam on the bottom split (about 12 inch long hole) where the stiching burst. Is it wishful thinking to assume that leathers should protect in such a situation.

I thought that Dainese leathers were guaranteed or at least not supposed to split. It would not be a problem other than I left some skin and flesh on the track.

Any thoughts or comments?

I've slid down the track (and road!) in mine more times than I care to remember and have never had that happen.

I'll move this thread into another forum.

Why not contact the manufacturers for an opinion?

If the stitching has burst you have a good chance - but you still have to contact Dainese.
Remember that almost all the warranty work is done by Nine Lives in Farnborough, so it might be worth giving them a call for their opinion.

I'd be well hacked of if my BKS split at any seam. When we had a bike clothing shop we often saw dainese splitting like this. Dainese use Nine lives in Farnborough for repairs (top guys), Probably better to deal direct with nine lives and get the to check the suit over and maybe strenghen the weak point.

Second that, nine lives are very good.

A bit hard to find tho.
