A shame but they priced themselves as if they were Dainese or Alpinestars, not sure how good the kit is but won't be the last to disappear, they come and go in the UK market, Teknic, Berik, Bering, etc etc etc ......

Yeah, they were pricey. I only ever bought gloves from them when they had a half price or better clearance.

They used their connections with BSB/Race riders to sell their gear at top top prices, but the majority of it was manufactured in China I believe.

That's a shame. Bought some gloves from them and I really rate them.

If you follow 44Teeth you will see Al Fagan is always wearing Arc-On stuff. Apart from him i can't recall seeing it anywhere else.

They provided gear for a lot of racers. BSB in particular.
