Passenger suit options??

Unread post by Jamesvfr »

For next year im looking at a new suit
Either more of a specific passenger type of leather suit or a Kevlar suit

has anyone got any suggestions on who makes/supplies either?

I'm leaning towards Kevlar if we're allowed to use them still?

Cheers

Personally I wouldn't use a Kevlar suit. I've no experience of what they're like if you come off, but I simply find the friction of a leather suit on the outfit helps with my passengering where as Kevlar slides a lot more.

AM Leathers are good - but you'll be looking at close to £1k for a custom made suit. But they are very good quality.
RST leathers - had one from them and had a couple of off in it and seemed fine. £750 ish
Cougar leathers/Hideout have good reputations
DRC Race Leathers (see them Facebook) - approx £500 ish - seen a few of these suits about they look well made.

I believe the Kevlar suits give you a very bad burn if you come off,not so much with the leather but thats only what I have heard it would be leather for me tried and trusted,good luck.
