Leathers & helmet
im after a new set of leathers, mine are looking a bit worse for wear now and i think i should get a new helmet also. not sure if the helmet took a hit as theres no scratches etc on it but id rather be sure

Re: Leathers & helmet
I've mentioned this site before and ill mention it again . . . http://www.kneedraggers.com they are an American site but they will ship to the UK nd they'll help you dodge the customs charges by marking the goods as a "gift"DarrenR wrote:im after a new set of leathers, mine are looking a bit worse for wear now and i think i should get a new helmet also. not sure if the helmet took a hit as theres no scratches etc on it but id rather be sure

There's no way shirlaws would be able to match US online prices. . .Backs 400 wrote:Dare I say it, but arnt Shirlaws the local Wolf leather sellers? I am sure they would be able to match internet prices (certainly have for me) and at least you get to try on the stuff and make sure it fits.
Try the gear on for sizing in shirlaws then order from kneedragers for the best of both worlds

I got my Arai from this place:- http://www.gearchangeonline.com
Got a Viper GT for £280 thats £120 bucks less than Shirlaws though I had to spend another £35 in Shirlaws getting the correct size of Cheek Piece's but even then still saved a lot of pennies!!
They do Alpinestar leathers too but no checked up on the price of them to see how much you can save.

Ive bought leathers in the past from MCA in Leicester http://www.mcaleicester.co.uk/ , and just last week from Bikestop http://www.bikestop.co.uk/.
Both offered to exchange the item (leathers) if they didnt fit. Both also often sell leathers that were previous years designs with large discounts.
As for helmets, i have an Arai RX7 Corsair, AGV Ti-Tech and a Shoei XV1000. The Arai is most expensive and lightest, AGV the cheapest of the 3 but fits the best, quietest and visor less prone to scatches.
