Vanucci leathers

Miglo

My first post here so I'd like to say hi to everyone!

I'm looking to buy my first full leathers for sunday blasts and find that Lous.de have great sale on Vanucci 1pc.

I've been shopping with them before and never had any problems but I can't find any review of the suit.

Has anyone had any expirence with Vanucci?

Thanks!

Vanucci stuff is pretty good - I'd put it higher than Akito, Richa, Spada but not quite as good as Dainese, BKS or Alpinestar.

I had a pair of Vanucci winter leather gloves and they lasted well, stayed together for several winters before the lining detached and I passed them on to the dog to chew on.

I'd recommend them.

I'll second what 'cptr said. They're pretty decent and nice fit on them too.

I'd recommend you get a two piece leather suit that zips together around the waist instead, a lot less restrictive than a one piece if all you're gonna be doing is sunday blasts.

Thanks for your replies lads!

Can you tell anything about Vanucci's size chart? Do you find it accurate?
I checked other shops and found few Alpinestar leathers on sale in similar prize range (colors worse though). I could try them on in any shop before placing order - can't do that with Vanucci


When I stared biking it was "only to commute" but turned into live passion. So i can't say I won't do track day at some time

That's how most of us start out chief. :pac: Ah yeah, track days are FUN!!!

You can still use the zip-together leathers for track days as well. Personally i use the two-piece myself as even for simple things like going in for lunch/cup of tea etc. at least with the two/piece you can take off your jacket and have a bit of comfort which is not possible with the one -piece.
Haven't any specific info about the type of leathers you're thinking of buying but good luck with your choice.

I bought a Vanucci leather jacket from Louis last week this onehttp://www.louis.de/_303bf16a351881ff64be0463e47811334f/index.php?topic=artnr_gr&article_context=detail&grwgr=100&wgr=772&list_total=24&anzeige=0&page=0&artnr_gr=207516
I hope to get the bottom half at a later date when I have the cash, The jacket is a great fit and has good protection on the back,shoulders & elbows. And as everyone else has said with a 2 piece at least you can take the jacket off if needed! Best of luck with your purchase

I made my mind and ordered... Deinese Stripes
I got chance to try them on and they fit perfect. They're on sale for 599e on Motoin.de, now I have to wait 6 weeks for them as there wasn't my size in stock.

I already have two piece waterproof leather/goretex Weise Psycho (which I find very good) for everyday use, so I'm coveredon that end

Thanks!

I went for black with white bits as they should look good on any bike :cool:
