im looking at a set of second hand leathers with the purpose of being able to do trackdays/riding schools.
with this 1 peice leather suit or 2 peice zipped up suit rule is there a limit to the damage to the leathers?
ive got a set in mind that are quite cheap but have a few suspect areas.
is it worth buying them cheaply and getting repairs done?
any advice would be appreciated.

I got my set of ebay ($150) then spent the same getting them tailored and repaired.
cant see that it would matter, so long as they look like they will do the job.

My old green Texports are pretty banged up (but safe) and never draw a second glance.
The question should be do YOU feel safe in them if they are called on to do their job ??
