Astro,
Do you know if those of us that have the older style of leathers can get the stiching fixed ?
A fellow rider and mate of mine crash @ no more then 80kph and a HUGE bit of pannel ripped open.
I have the same style as his and I am worried that they won't stand up to the test.
(Also... I like them but I got 2 issues with them that I'll put out here for GENERAL info ;) I am not knocking them)
1. I paid extra for the hard race armour.... the only problem is I kinda thought these would be stictched in to the jacket and pants, but they are not. They are dropped in to pockets in the liner. I know Wearlej lost skin due to armour moving when he crashed. So this I am getting fixed by a local melbourne leather suit maker because they move around so much and are not positioned correctly.
2. I did have issues when I said it didn't fit correctly. I was told I had to wear them in first. I did and I was still right & now because of this part of the liner has torn at the seems in the jacket. To correct it I need streach pannels put in for around the arm/shoulder join to stop it getting worse. When I contacted underdogs and tried to explain it I didn't get a very good reply and found people really get on the defence when you starting asking questions.
All in all I like them & I hope they do the job I got them for. Underdog has done a great job in providing cheap leathers for those of us that can not afford to go and buy 2k worth of leather. Apart from the two issues I had and the ones mentioned above my post I think they are good & worth it if they fit correctly & do the job. The winter liner is good and I'll be testing that a little more here in Melbourne ;)
