Leathers

[OMNIO]

Hi all. Having bought a proper bike recently I feel it's time for some proper protection so I'm looking at leathers.

I'll be doing road riding and it highly unlikely I'll be doing any track days.

Would you go for a 1 piece or 2 piece? Are there any reccomenations for brand? Bûse look quite good but can't seem to find much info on how good they are.

I'd like to spend up to around £400 on a decent set.

Thanks for the suggestions folks

Thanks again guys. Researching 2 piece suits.

Depends if you want to go out looking like the latest power-ranger, or if you're a serious biker.

Absolutely; don't forget the mandatory advanced rider training, 'Polite' vest and telling anyyone that will listen how you are a responsible rider and anyone who breaks the speed limit by 1 mph is an accident waiting to happen.

My helmet cam is on its way. I have the exaggerated head shake down to a t. My roundhouse kick is also pretty special.

Am I doing it right?

Dainese 2 piece imo

Shock protection not just CE!

Without doubt Arai and Dainese helped why I am here still.

Image and heroics don't come into it really. This is non fault with witnesses, look where the car is, head on.

Several operations later, still riding including this bike. A worse but similar one occurred 5 years prior. Out of sheer pig headedness I rebuilt it when there were very few about, and still have one and a loft full of spares haha.

Find the money and buy better quality wherever possible, it helps. Leathers aren't just for track, but also don't make you invincible, just safer.

Ouch. Glad you're ok.
