Why would you order a Gimoto suit from the USA (and pay more)?

And a mini moto suit?

The Berik capirex is a decent suit, although it's only a few panels that are roo. I doubt anyone locally knows more about Beriks than Irena - she does the warranty work for Ficeda and prepped about a dozen suits for race teams last year. She reckons they're good value for money.

But for quality, you won't get better than Gimoto. They're not cheap, but they're made by experts, you can choose any colour combination and there's loads of options for perforation, custom fit, logos and patches etc. They're the top end of the market, and if anyone knows of better leathers, please tell us.

ive visited irena personally, when i was trying to get my spidi leathers altered (that didnt work out) and she recommended gimoto, hence why i looked at the gimoto minimotos.... why minimoto? cos they were cheap, and wouldnt be a lot different to what i would want for supermoto riding ;)

but as i say ive ended up with the berik leathers because the gimoto lead time would be too long...

Ah, you could've looked at the Gimoto motard suit ($1200). Maybe not in these colours.

How much time do you have?
My GiMoto suit took 4 weeks from order. Well worth the wait to get a tailor fit.
