Keep your eyes on Ebay, I got 2 suits off there for $100 bucks each. How much are you looking to spend I know of a few places that are having closeouts.

where you getting $1200? You don't need to go out and get a dainese suit... agv sport makes perfectly fine suits for around $500. Joe Rocket does too. Marmaladeboy has one and people complain but I believe he's been down a few times and been alright...

I haven't crash tested my JR leathers, but some other people have crash tested theirs with no problems. The suit I've crashed in several times is a Z Custom. That sucker was expensive, but mostly because it's 1) custom and 2) has lots of lettering.

My kid and I both have this suit. Well vented, good quality leather, hardware seems to be good too!

Really no problems at all, Marm. I bought the first suit as a streeter and it was just a little small so I gave it to the kid and bought another. They have not been worn enough to be substantially broke in but I can tell you that neither suit has showed the same problems as some of my Frank Thomas gear with seams and velcro giving up. I would highly recommend this suit for the occasional track day. They are NOT equipped with traditional knee pucks. AGV has a couple suits listed for about a hundred bucks more that do have the regular pucks. I really think these Shift suits were made for the street or light track.

Right on. Thanks for the review. I was thinking about getting a suit for SuMo activities (if the bike doesn't sell).
