Best Place to Try On Leathers South East

[Robb F]

I'm looking at doing my first track day next year so was planning to get a proper leather suit over winter.

I'm struggling to find places with a decent selection to try on, currently I think my best bet is Bike Stop, which looks perfect as they even have bikes to sit on etc but that's an hour and half drive.

Is there any where decent closer to BR4 postcode?

Cheers

If you're just looking at "off the peg" stuff, might be worth giving J&S Accessories in Maidstone a go - that's about 45 minutes from you. They've got a decent selection from most of the big brands and the staff in there are very helpful in my experience.

Yes off the peg is fine for now, thanks very much

Sportsbikeshop in Reading. You can order a selection of stuff to try on and just buy the one you decide on.

I tend to buy mine from Infinity in Farnborough (I realise this isn't close to BR4).

My 'local' Helmet City in Oxford (I'm in Reading) has a great range of kit too, so I'd seek out either of those two if they have local branch.

Motolegends in Guildford pride themselves on being second to none in customer service.

They hold a good selection of gear from mid range to premium, and you'll pay top dollar for it. Their methods are reportedly "strange" and they act more like tailors than you'd expect.

I guess some folks like that.
