There is a story on the young bloke who owns the company in AMCN this week. He was a young up and coming racer who had a fall and is now in a chair.
The leathers are certainly a good price.
Remember, half the people you know are below average.

For $299 you can't go too far wrong so long as they are stitched together OK.

They arrived today,they do seem a bit flimsy,having said that ive only seen a couple of other pairs of leathers in my life.For $300 they will do the job.Padding is in the right areas,its has a little kevlar tag on the sleeve but i cant see any inside but it maybe sewn inside the sleeves.I havent had a chance to have a very good look over them.I will tonight and report more and include some pics.
