Looked at these before myself. Nice looking suts, and seem to hav all the right bits in the right place. £250 really is a bargain. I guess they're last years design or something, that wouldn't put me off. Might have another look!

Cheers.

Thats kind of my theory. Blue and white suit will mean I'll have to get a blue and white Gixer 600...

They looked really good didn't see them at that price, however unless you are tall then the legs won't fit on two piece suits which is why I went for jacket & Jeans that zipped together.

You do not have a choice on length with two piece suits.

that is a real bargain...you struggle to get a decent jacket for that price.

Can you not mess about and pair up different sizes if the shop people aren't looking?

First set of leathers I had was a 2pc Alpinestars GPU and I know some people question off the shelf stuff but the quality was outstanding (especially compared to other Italian manufacturers' options).

Well got into HG and they'd sold out. So I tried on a couple of similar AS suits but as discussed I'm not designed for AS or they're not designed for me...

58 Jacket comes with trousers for a very long pair of legs. I'm 6' but sort of half and half as aposed to having longer legs than body.

So got HG own Pro-Sport jacket and trousers for £180... Not bad as I'll probably have a couple of stacks in training and when I first get out and about.

They're also a scandless copy of AS too...

Most of the shops arent keeping stock , but there are plenty available at their warehouse in all sizes, the shop will get them in for you , or order online .

I saw the most recent "colour scheme " for those leathers and think they are an excellent value summer suit .

I think the sizes come up very small , certainly compared to the already svelt Dainese sizing so be prepared to try a size larger than you would elsewhere .
