anyone heard of this site?/review of suit.
www.jackets4bikes.com I found this site while I was looking around for cheaper leather suits. they are really actually cheap and seem some what legit. I ordered a 2 piece suit from them and so did my brother. Once I get it in I will post of pictures for quality and let you know how it works out.

I know I ordered a suit and gloves and my brother ordered a suit, gloves and boots from them. they shipped out today no tax and free shipping I can't complain so far and from reading their site they seem pretty cool about exchanges and returns.

I've bought jackets twice from this site http://www.leatherup.com/c/Mens-Moto...ets/2/102.html (both Xelement) and I would deal with them again. Fast delivery and the Xelement jackets I bought were well worth the relatively low price.

I have seen their stuff on fleabay and was not impressed. Granted they may have some stuff that is ok but I was looking for a one-piece leather suit and the stuff they had listed looked outright scary.

So I got the suit in today its actually pretty heavy and seems pretty well made. the fit is pretty good and its got elbow, back, hip and knee pads built into it. I will post some pictures up later once I load them. As time goes on I will put up my feelings about the suit after getting some miles in it.

Update: So I got the 1st chance to get a ride in with the suit yesterday the fit and comfort was really surprisingly nice. The suit is still a bit stiff being its new but worked well. the thick leather was good for stopping wind and giving you that warm fuzzy safe feeling and the flex joints in the knees and shoulders worked well. So far I am a big fan and would recommend this company to anyone looking for a suit.
After looking at the tag I found it is made in Pakistan which is were I noticed most other leather suits are made. I will keep updating as time goes on with this suit.

the elbows have double the way they are sew on the shoulders makes it hard to tell but there is padding in all those places. As for the seem in the center you don't really notice it well atleast I haven't. My bother and I both wore them over the weekend in 70 to 80 degree weather and they actually breath pretty good as long as you are moving once you stop they get really hot.

I get what you are saying and I am hoping for the same thing I hope to never have to find out. I also think that for those people who put off buying safety items due to the price this suit could be a good thing. Something is always better than nothing.

OP, just wondering if that suit is still all it lived up to be in terms of durability?
contemplating buying a suit for my sister because I just got her 85 vf500r on the road and I want my baby sister to be safe.

so far the suit has been pretty good I have been lucky and haven't gone down but my brother did a lowside in it and it held up so for the money I still think it was well worth it. If price is the only thing keeping you from a suit and more protection this is a good direction to go in my opinion
