Busters Offer - 2 Piece Leathers £60 !!!

Dunno what these are like but at £59.99 for the set or, bought separately, £35 for the Jacket and £30 for the Jeans they've got to be worth a look.

At that price I'd run away, maybe you need 2 pairs for a bit of protection

You must get the email notices too. Just ordered a set, full refunds if they don't fit according to the man on the phone so what the hell for £60.

tbh

I just printed that web site out for some of my younger riders at work - for that money, even if the leathers only work once, they are FAR better than jeans....

Hi Dave,

I got a set delivered on Monday, but sent them back. The trousers were too tight seem to be made a bit on the small side so I reordered a size bigger, maybe should have gone up 2 sizes.

The jacket lining wasn't stitched or was ripped in one of the armpits so that went back too.

The jacket fitted quite well and seemed ok, but they are a £70 set of leathers and you get what you pay for. They were very stiff (to be expected) and the armour is hard and a bit uncomfortable, again to be expected. No back protector, the elbow and shoulder armour can move about a bit. The jeans have no hip protection, but do have velcor patches for sliders

They should make a nice set of light use summer leathers.

Hope your lads fit right off as it cost me £10+ to return them recorded so all adding to the cost.

Thanks Dale - I'll let you know. He is slim so a tight fit shouldn't be a problem, we'll see what the quaility of this set is when it arrives.

These leathers never turned up. Matt called several times and was told the manufacturer had a backlog. They hadn't arrived by the time he went back to Uni so the order was cancelled.

Too good to be true maybe.

My replacement set never arrived, so I told them to not to bother and to refund my money.

They did so without argument, but I had to ask twice to refund my postage costs, which they did eventually, but somewhere along the line they must have got confused 'coz they also sent me another £6, so I'm up 2 pints up on the deal :smt003
