Mine are OK, but you get what you pay for. The lining isn't holding together too well. Surprisingly I haven't crash-tested these ones yet so I can't say how they held up. I'm not sure what jackets they have for $99 either, but I've got a two-piece Daytona suit.

I had a pair of RJays years ago and Watties now getting around in them. I think they were fine for the money. The pockets got holes in them and the little tab thing's on the zippers broke off but they did their job well. For $99 for leather I don't see that you can go too far wrong.

If by any chance you'd fit into a size 56 pm me I've got a full set of Teknics that are soon gonna go real cheap.

My Rjays have saved my arse once and are still going strong today...

Quality is a bit dodgy but i don't really care when i got them for $200...

Well mine are size 46 and i'm built like a stamp collector...

Size 56 would be more a largish bloke... like Oprah

haha ok then ill probably fit in them. XL bike jacket at the moment, did have an XXL.

edit: and for when he returns... how cheap is cheap? and what condition are they in. it might be a better choice than that 2 piece joe rocket textile suit.

Daves 46 and my 56 are probably the same. Ones Euro and Ones US (damn Americans). They would suit someone taller than 6'0 and bigger than a 34 waste but with about 44 chest.

The jacket fits me well but they're too long and the pants are baggy. They're in really good nick and will probably go for about $300

hah i should buy them, but i cant. gotta pay 180 for new brakes tomorrow.

and probably 159 for that 2 piece joe rocket suit.

it should suffice
