Replacement 1 piece
After putting my long term Dainese race suit into semi retirement last year I need a replacement.
This will be mainly for track days, as I prefer a two piece on the road. It's easier for the paramedics to get off.
This has caught my eye. Arlen Ness stuff is decent, black and white is a good combo and I like the price. It's also got elbow sliders so I can make nice little sparkles as I slide off at Craners.

Any feedback on the brand or other suggestions welcome. Colours are black, white and grey. Anything else sees you banned for a week.

No. It used to but I think I've sniffed them too much and worn them outKwacky wrote:Does it smell of awesomeness and have scuff marks to scare off other riders?C00kiemonster wrote:I have a nice Dainese one in black and yellow if your interested?

Re: Replacement 1 piece
I had my crash in Arlen Ness so I know it holds up.
Dainese seem to have changed their suits so they're long in the body. Not a pleasant fit any more.

Re: Replacement 1 piece
Wow that's an amazing price.
I would look no further and just get it mate. As you say good make, good design and great price. If you leave it sods law they will sell out of your size especially at those prices.
A mate at work bought alpine stars leathers from that company and said the service was good. He tried to get UK dealers to price match but they couldn't get close and the way the euro is at the moment I'm not surprised.

Re: Replacement 1 piece
Agree....that's a really good price....I'd check with them though, and make sure they're not all XXXLs or sommit daft.
Black or white....I'd prefer white cos it makes you faster....never heard of a grey suit before...sounds awful.

Re: Replacement 1 piece
Yup, I have an Arlen ness one piece. Great kwalitay, and survived an off on the road around 50 mph.. The leather torn at the elbow where the panel meets the fabric. But, it saved my arse big style.

Re: Replacement 1 piece
As hinted at by D41 there is nothing in my size.
Oh well, the hunt continues.
