I wont recommend any company.....

But just remember.... 9 times out of 10 you get what you pay for......

If its cheap on the pocket..... It probably is cheap quality....

Like Public Enemy once said - "Don't believe the hype"
They look like chinese imports. All of the Logos etc displayed on they're other products give it away. How much do you think it would cost to legaly apply Ducati / Yamaha / Repsol etc.
Get what you pay for. Bought anything below cost from China recently? Then expected it to save you from personal injury?
Have a go here.....Least they are Aussie made. No frills and not much more.

We had a look at these "Teknic" leathers when we were at PI for the GP, and the general consensus was that *if* they were real Teknic leathers they were the cheapest of the cheap, and more likely they simply weren't genuine Teknic at all. As always, caveat emptor, and remember, you get what you pay for.

I have bought leathers off the net before.... the problem is not really the quality you have to watch out for, but the Fit..... The quality of my leathers was great, just never fit right.

There is a place in hoppers that sell direct to the public.... they are pretty cheap... you can try on the gear before buying it.

Dont even bother looking at the website.... it has only a small fraction of the actual gear he has...

Also Scorpion leathers are good quality but cheap too.... aussie made... (they have a bunch of leathers in various sizes that are last years stock, give them a call... they are like half price....)
