Give these a ring http://www.titanium-racing.com/home.html, they have been doing some good deals on the Arlen Kangaroo suit.

You bounce far enough so that you only got to run over my head and not the rest of me at Cadwell :D

Grib 28-Aug-2006 14:52

Today I got some two piece Dainese for the road :D Birthday pressie from Couch. They're beautiful, fit so nicely. Just hope they last as well as the price tag suggests.

BTW...anyone looking for sale price Dainese/Alpinestars get to MCA in Leicester. I had no idea they had so much stock! Very helpful staff too :)

andyb 28-Aug-2006 18:16

ph motorcycles or gatwick dainese...........er, near Gatwick!

david.hicks 28-Aug-2006 20:52

I was nearby for the bank holiday so I popped in to have a look round BKS in Exmouth on Friday. They have a great collection of worn leathers hanging on the walls from famous riders and a good range of suits on display. The quality is breathtaking. Well worth a look if you are in the area (open weekdays only tho).

Cissbury leathers in Stoke, sell on the net and E-bay.

I have a set of Arlen Ness leathers. Very nice quality, only complaint would be the fact that they say Arlen Ness in about 30 different places. There is no doubt what make of leathers you have.

had Astars GP rep suit and dainese 2 piece, found the Dainese a better fit, but does not come anywhere the Astar for feel or quailty, thou the 1450 price tag can be hard to swallow, but then, how much is your skin worth???

After hankering after a nice two piece from Dainese I bought it...After my off at Cadwell and the state of them after a lowside (arm and leg zip and seams split, Big cuts from the armour inside, which after two weeks still haven't healed!) I don't think I'll be recommending them to anyone! Mind you, they were the best fitting off the peg women's leathers I could find, but I now know looks aren't everything;)! I think I shall go custom made next.

Like TP I rate Hideout very highly. For a non flash looking suit their prices are very fair and its up to you how much you want to spend on extra decals/adverts etc.

Their aftersales service is outstanding and they fix any problems with the suit no questions asked.

The owner Kate has vast experience of egotistical males and their preferences and seems to waft/bully you to a sensible choice.

They also have an excellent selection of other gear at their shop and its a great ride to get there.
