Arlen Ness Leathers - Any good?

[RemaL]

AS above I want a 2 piece suite by the spring.

Any good?

Also why is it so hard to find out who sells them locally other than having to google the shops to find out, Seems no place to go to and find out who is distributors for Arlen Ness

Yip, good stuff. I've got one of the earlier cowhide suits (think we only come in kangaroo skin now) & have crashed tested it hard enough to break an arm but the suit is still fine bar a couple of scuff marks

Bigger brother to Berik I think. I've always liked their stuff.

I have a Berik MotoGP 2 piece, great quality. A Ness is just as good if not better.

[RemaL]

So how's the best way To find who sells them ?

i got mine kangaroo 1 pc from Hein Gericke. Both the edinburgh and glasgow stores had it, not sure if its a uk wide arrangement

Will try and get to the one in Bristol then at some point

Loads of Berik and Arlen Ness stuff at the BMF rally, heavily discounted, they are also twinned with wolf.

Have to say a lot of German bikers where AN suits for what its worth, they tend towards the better kit out there

I went skidding down the road on my arse in my Arlen Ness 2 piece, and they held together. Seem pretty good in other respects too. I got mine from a Honda dealership, and negotiated a reasonable discount.

I'm sure Berik are used by a few Moto GP/ world superbike riders? If that's the case then they can't be too bad.

I'm sure I've seen Ruben Xaus in Berik leathers - so you know they've been well crash tested...

agreed but like my BKS made to measure are nothing like the BKS off the peg or people buy that look like JT's leathers.

Not saying AN is like that BUT having more issues with finding a local dealer then anything at the mo

just got AN jacket, very impressed with quality. when i replace my 1 piece i'll be looking for AN/berik/BKS.

HG down this way sell AN too, i almost bought a 2 piece from them but opted for furygan in the end, cheaper and came well recommended, have to say they are superb quality
