Rumour has it that Stetto has dropped the price

For those that are still interested, the armour in the Madif suit mentioned is CE approved, take it out and have a look. The markings are there.

Just because armour has CE molded into it, doesn't mean it's genuine. There's heaps of fake armour around and no-one seems to be in a hurry to invade ...

All garments fitted with genuine CE armour will be supplied with a little booklet that lists the tests that it has been subjected to, usually attached to the zipper. We pay more for amour than some people buy entire suits for.

If no booklet, then it's more than likely fake CE armour. Maybe fine ...

I think that would have to be Kryssie

I couldn't claim to be a tyre tester by any means, but I love the Sportsmarts.

Used them in monsoon conditions on the Oxley and a sunny weekend at the Snowies and they have been faultless. I suspect they're the best road tyres I've ever had

There are no standards WORLDWIDE!! Leathers do not have to undergo any testing and are simply that - a leather suit. If they had to pass a test the whole suit would have either a CE mark (not just the armor), a Euro Kite mark or an AS number same as helmets.

Yep, most suits have CE armour but ...

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

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 ...

Oh the irony. :lol: When I said I knew people who repaired leathers who were appalled at how poorly JR was made, who knew you would use pics from their website to support your view that JR are ok. :P

hahhaha your words not mine Nelso :-D

The truth is that none of the major brands would get ...

Yeah Mick's a good bloke. Tough life though, driving up and down the country, going to race meetings but not actually getting to see any of the racing. Provides a very useful service for the racers.

We get roughly one email a week from companies trying to sell us leathers made from a stolen pattern. I always have a look at them cos sometimes they can be pretty hilarious with pictures of their grubby workshops and low quality wares. While I'm sure there's plenty of bargains out there, it can be ...

Hi folks,

Sorry to dig up an old-ish thread, but I got a message that someone was using pics from our website on KSRC so i popped in for a look and found the convo here to be pretty interesting. We run a small shop in Sydney repairing and altering leathers and our customer base is split about 50/50 ...
