Alpinestars GPU 2pc suit Blk

Advantages: Price, looks, off the peg
Disadvantages: zips, price

...This jacket (and matching jeans) is the evolution of the Hein Gericke tribal suit design which offered a decent set of leathers for a very reasonable price. I have one of the tribal suits and I would swear by it. Especially the price I paid for it at the time. Although I prefer the red/black/white colour scheme there is a choice of colours. I did catch a kerb a few years back trying to avoid a friend who's electrics had failed and the resultant earth-sky-earth could have been alot worse if I hadnt been wearing these. The result was a broken collerbone and thumb, The leathers stayed intact and apart from minor scuffing down one of the forearm flashes there is no other damage. (In fact you can see the suit in my profile pic). The Jacket zips to the matching Jeans to give it a more secure feel with a full waist zip, not just a short back... Read review

...These are the jeans to match the H-G Celtic jacket.. The Jeans are lined and comfortable, with padding and armour where you need it (To get more information you should check out the review of the jacket aswell). The jeans fit to the jacket with a full waist zip which keeps out the wind and helps to keep the cold out on when the weather isn't at it's best.. Although the suit isn't made for winter riding, the jeans are quite warm, and the matching jacket can fit under a larger paddock jacket to enable you to ride in colder weather. The ankle zip can catch against your ankle bone if you don't get it sat just right, but instead of riding with the zip digging in, As soon as you put your boot on, you can feel the problem straight away. This just means unfastening the boot and rearranging the leg for more comfort. As with the jacket... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, High Standards, Experience, Knowledge, Expertise
Disadvantages: Not Plush or Pretentious

...When I first bought my Alfa Romeo, I visited my local main dealer for servicing and repairs. The offices were plush and air conditioned. The staff were smooth and wore expensive suits. What I did not realise was that I was paying over the top for poor service and work that probably did not need to be done. Over 3 years I spent over £500 in repairs. How many suits did that buy? Sunnyside Garage is different. It is at the back of Chadwell Heath industrial park. It is not plush or air conditioned. The staff do not wear expensive suits. The owner, David Lai has repaired and serviced Alfas for over 20 years. He knows everything there is to know about the cars. He seems to know the fault even before you arrive. He charges a reasonable rate for a first class service. If you live anywhere in Essex or East London, get your Alfa... Read review
