i bought the 'famous' jacket and trousers a few weeks ago. fit great. very comfortable and i look like the black power ranger with my black helmet and black visor

and if you hurry, they're including a visit to a trackday with all new purchases.

I've crash-tested their fabric stuff and it burst like overripe fruit. A person close to the manufacturer (I work in the industry, so naming names isn't good politics) acknowledged it was 'crap'.

Hi DB - very interesting. Is there a web site or organisation that tests gear independently and publishes the results?

[DBRacingGod]

RiDE magazine (and www.ridetriangles.com) do regular tests on leathers and pretty much everything in biking. They're the only ones with any credibility at any rate.

Think that sucks about the Ixon, I've crashed in it several times plus have the club grid does as well. Third season with them and find the clothing tough and works well. Check out the website www.ixontrackdays.com and the testomonials from the riders + 190 crash on youtube!
