DukeKevin

Hello, thanks for reading.

I'm 6 ,7 and looking to buy two piece leathers. Value for money is central. Any guidance?

Have a look at louis.ie
The Probiker range which is there own brand is very good value.
Pants 99.95
Jackets from 199.

Mr Sheen!

Rst is prob the best bang for your book. Their two piece stuff is good quality and triple stiched.
You can mix and match their textile range with their leathers too. I have one of their textile jackets and it zips to my rst leather bottoms.

Yeah the RST leathers are well worth the money, and its the same quality as DAINESE. As was said triple stitched with 1.3 to 1.4 mm leather sure RST actually repair DAINESE leathers in Europe!!!

If you can hold out you can get custom fitted for leathers at the NEC bike show in Birmingham in any colour combination for really cheap. I could not believe it when I was there, I did not even need leathers and I was so close to getting a set.

No it was a good online store selling very good kit, it was plain looking but would do the job iirc it was £199 sterling for a set leathers.

Another vote for RST. I have them as to loads of others - very popular for a reason!

One last tip, since you say money is an issue — don't rule out newsed/secondhand? You'll often get mid-life crisis bikers who rush out and buy all the gear brand new, then have their first off, or just go off the idea of biking, and a year later they're flogging off their leathers and other gear which has seen almost zero use. If you keep an eye on the UK eBay site — a far bigger choice than the Irish one — and use ParcelMotel you can get some real bargains.

I picked up a very decent Buffalo leather jacket for about £50 and Hein Gericke pants for £25, in mint condition. Just about nicely broken in, actually! Admittedly I'm a much more "average" build — 5'9", 42" chest, and there's lots more available secondhand in M/L/XL. You might be waiting and watching a bit longer for something in your size...!
