Cheap Riding Suit!!! Let The Crap Fly!!!
 

Okay, I finnally broke down and got one of those cheap riding suits off EBay. They let me pick the pattern, colors, and also included gloves to match for $350 shipped. Ordered on the 25th, arrived on the 6th, not too bad. Right off the bat, I'd say that this is a one or two crash suit-depending on the circumstances, of course. I'd put it just below A* entry level suits and even with Frank Thomas, low end AGV or Teknic. It's got an Aero hump, cheap knee sliders and CE stamped armor. The stitching leaves something to be desired as it is only single in the low stress areas but double and even triple stitched in impact zones. All in all, not a bad suit for the money and the fit is quite good. The gloves are fucking outstanding fit wise and look exactly like the old ICON TiMax gloves. The mountain lion on the front is their company logo, I could have opted against it but wtf, it's no worse than a dragon, devil, puma or flying A in my opinion.

Bad pics (f-ing GF!)

Nice earrings!

Also, your TV is mounted too high. :p

...and $350 sent to fund terrorist operations. :wtfru:

Thanks! I tradedin my ex-fiance's ring to buy them.

46'' bed room tv ftw, hater!

Fuck your Photobucket operations.

company hq in Canada...besides, I didn't know until after it was shipped. I figured China. Of course then I'd get knocked for cheap Chinese crap...

Nice suit for the money, but you are right, you are one ugly mofo.:lol:

Why, is it made in Pakistan? Can't see the pics.

Everything I've seen from Pakistan is ill-fitting. But, if you like it, cool, I'm just curious why you bought this when everything else you own is usually pretty high-end. I mean you could easily buy one of Alpinestars' mid-range suits for only $700 off Ebay.

And Chinese stuff can be damn good, in my experience.

and OLD as hell :lmao:

haha, I got your ass beat. 54" bedroom tv.

You are both right, old and ugly!!! The reason I didn't go high end is that I'll probably wear this this 5 times a year max. I hated every low end A*, Teknic, AGV suit I saw and didn't want to drop $800 on a Dainese Laguna Seca. I had a lock on a AXO suit but it didn't come with knee sliders and I wasn't entirely happy with the look of it... I love high end stuff and will almost always go for it when I can BUT I am not SO "douchey" that I don't realize that some things are better gotten from the lower end. I decided what I'm willing to pay based on how much I will use it.

Oh yea? Well, is it a flat screen mounted to the wall with a 600 watt surround sound system? Nyahh, nyahh, nyahh!!!!

You only use a condom once. Are you willing to cheap out on that too? :lol

Genius.

Condom? If I used them and if the cheap ones were proven to work as well as the expensive then yes. Would you rather have a cheap condom or none at all? Because that is the real choice here.

Shut up you! Neither one of you have ever even owned a one piece suit to my knowledge.

T owns one.

They don't publish EVERYTHING

$350 new isnt bad, except for the ugly ass tiger on the chest. I bet that they got your order with the tiger outline and was all "Holy shit, we just got our first order with our company logo! What do we do now?"


Oh yeh and your TV might be mounted a little too high

Nice suit!

It's like Hello Kitty and the Power Rangers collided at a gay bar.

There are, however, some things you should know about Paki "leather goods". Many of them are made from goat skin, and tanned with urine.

So... you know, try not to get it wet.

True story. I wear mine with a back protector every time i hit the twisties. Teknic Chicane for 300 shipped a year and a half ago.

Aw shoot that's right, some crappy Teknic suit... Hell, the same people probably made his that made mine! Just kidding. Oh well, bad joke I guess.

Ha there it is! Oh well, bet my suit is just as good as yours... I've owned a lot of Teknic gear-I lived 5 miles away and knew the owner. Most of their early stuff was goat skin and made where? In Pakistan!

Nah actual leather, according to the tags anyway and it smells pretty good so far... Little known (apparently) fact, most lower end leather goods were made in Pakistan before China took everything over. I'm not sure why or how a leather suit made in China is somehow better than a leather suit made in Pakistan... Oh and the mt. lion can easily be removed later so I decided to have it come on. I'm sure all of you remove those gay Dainese devils and lame MotoGp eyes off of your gear, right?

That's like saying you're not sure why a car made in Japan is better than a car made in Mexico or France. It just is.

I'm sorry but :rofl:

Nice suit Tig.

What? "Chinese leather goods are better than Pakistani leather goods" is hardly common knowledge... Shit, this is honestly the very first time I've heard someone defend Chinese goods against another country. BTW if you drive an American car, it's very likely that a great number of your parts were made in Mexico. Just like if you drive a Japanese car, it's likely that a great many of the parts were made in Taiwan or Korea.

Thanks!

BTW I know that shit was fucking funny!!! To tell the truth that's one of the reasons that I don't normally wear a full suit. You look like an idiot (imho)if and when you get off the bike. Not to mention that they aren't exactly designed for walking around.

Exactly. You look like an even bigger idiot when your leathers don't fit you all that well... :whistle: (I couldn't resist since they were cheap and needed a 1pc.)

Looks like it's a size too big to me.

Yea, mine are pretty good in that respect, which is important to me. I tried on several suits in the $400-500 range and either they were too short or they were too fat. They make these suits to order, they will modify the color, size, etc. I almost went with Clover actually for the same reason. The truth is, I'm not sure that I'll be able to wear any off the rack suit, regardless of price.

Nah, I had them go a bit wide in certain areas, I want to be able to wear a sweat shirt or whatever under neath and I want air to be able to move around easily in the Summer. I don't know, maybe I'll get my shit together, now that I'm healthy, exercise, lose some weight and buy another suit.

That is the part that sucks for being a female. The cheapest suit I found was around $500+, too damn much for a couple track days a year. Maybe I was looking in the wrong places, :shrug:
I looked at mens, but very few manufacturers make a size 38. I settled for a 40, so it's a bit baggy. But I wasn't going to complain since it is an AGV and only paid $125. It works.

You know, just that fact that you sniffed it, makes my last post completely worth while.

China has better technology available, and more money.

Pakistan has worse and less.

Plus, nobody ever says, "Hey, let's pickup some Pakistani on the way home".

JC

Shoot, you ain't never had no Tandoori chicken? Heck, curry chicken is just as much Pakistani as it is Indian.

Hmmm... who makes a better leather riding suit, USA or Italy? besides, you know that the best leather suits are made by hand. Hand cut, a person at the sewing machine, etc. Technology be damned. For better or worse, these gloves fit better and have zero easily visible mistakes. Something I could not say for the last pair of A* GpTech gloves I bought.

Suit looks decent for 350 bones. Looks a tad big in areas, but it isn't a custom.

I've had my current $1200 Z-Custom Leather suit for 7 years now and I've never owned any other suit. The thing is starting to rip everywhere, so a new suit is on the horizon. Thinking about getting a custom Pilot Suit for about 1400.

Custom is the way to go if you do alot of riding in the suit.

Yea true! I did some measurements and emailed them. The main thing they did for me was to make the suit a bit "taller" every US48 I've ever tried on was too short for me. They are willing to completely make the suit to your exact specs but you'd better be spot on! I like my suit a bit large because I'm on the street. If it were a track suit, I'm sure I'd want it "painted on" like all of the racers.

You would have Icon gloves.

Was that a cut down or a squid remark?

Who knows or cares? You gotta love these guys that barely ever post and just lurk looking for an opportunity to cut someone down.

What about the guys that post a lot and still cut you down. :lol
Of course we just like to give you shit.

You named the thread "Let the crap fly" and then complain about the crap?

Good thinking! :lol:

JC

A very astute observation.

Oh yea I don't mind at all. 101 made a comment about his comment, so I commented.... huh, what? Did that make any sense?...

Oh I don't care... it's just amusing and was worth mentioning to me...

Who you calling "astute"? I'll kick your fucking ass!!! Your momma is astute!











Hahahahahaah!!!

Doubtful.

Oh yea, call me astute again and see what happens!!!!

:lol

Remind you of "In Living Color" when the Wayans would use words incorrectly? That shit was a riot!

Talk about a blast from the past.

Oh don't get me started...
