LearthertechUk - Dave Edgar

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: crook

...heard nothing but praise for crowtree products but.... DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM DAVE EDGAR AT LEATHERTECH...!! At the beginning of last year (2007) i decided to purchase leathers from this company, I posted all the measurements etc. and paid by direct bank transfer as he did not take credit crads ( alarm bells should have rung....!!!!) i got an email highlighting production problem then he disappeared...!! I tried every way of contacting him without ...
...but got nothing back. I lost all my money...!! Ithought that I was the only one, I was wrong. scanning the web i found others that have been duped. BE WARNED and tell everyone you know...! If you know where he is let me know as i would love to have a 'CHAT' with him..!! ...

Review of Crowtree Leathers

These boots are made for walking ! - nope

Advantages: affordable waterproof boot, nothing fancy but works
Disadvantages: no real protection

After passing my CBT I bought a lot of my gear online instead of going to a shop and getting them fitted correctly. These boots I bought online are slightly too big but that is not the manufacturers fault. If I had bought the right size the boots would fit comfortably and have enough durability for everyday use without compromising too much. ~ The Boot ~ The boot is genuine leather upper and 100% waterproof (some places say they are not but believe ...
...that it covers your ankle and part way up your shin. It has stretch panel inserts in ankle and shin for flexibility, Velcro calf securing at the side of the boot to ensure no water get in, adjustable ankle Velcro strap and a removable in-sole. The inner of the boot is thermal lined so these are winter boots really, there are no air vents on these so your feet can get hot in summer. The sole is petrol and oil resistant and the insole is made from ...

Review of Akito Monza Motorcycle Boots

Lovely Snugly

Advantages: affordable quality jacket
Disadvantages: none right now

...was fitted wrong. The Duchinni Raider motorcycle jacket in my opinion is much better than the Akito in terms of quality material, protection and stitching. The feel of this jacket is just much better now correctly fitted, the armour is in the right place and fits snug against my body. ~ The Jacket ~ A summer jacket with the following features as listed on their website. Waterproof breathable jacket. CE approved knox protectors in shoulders & ...
...Rear vents. Chest adjuster. Velcro elastic cuff adjuster. Four front pockets. Zip cuff gusset. Although it does not state on the website, it does have a back plate pocket for a protector too. With all the adjusters and straps on this jacket you can get it to fit as tight or as loose as you want while making sure the armour is in place and comfortable. The jacket comes in different colours blue, orange, red and yellow of which none are overpowering. ...

Review of Duchinni Raider Motorcycle Jacket

Hein Gericke - Motorcycle "Spidey suit" jeans

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

...sized zip. I checked with Hein Gericke that this wouldnt affect the warranty and got the thumbs up. so as the suit is a great price, an extra £20 wasn't a problem to get a zip fitted which lasts to this day. (3 years and counting) The armour around the knees is attached to the lining by round plastic clips and these have dropped off one by one over the time I have had the suit. It isn't really that much of a problem, but now and again you have to ...
...the armour knee caps fold up and you have to start again. Although when on, the armour stays in place as there isn't anywhere for it to move to, your leg is now taking up any available space. I have had one spill while wearing these leathers and I feel I would have been alot worse off had Inot worn them.(Always wear biking gear when on a bike). I suffered a broken collerbone and thumb - which the race suit would he hard pressed to protect against. ...

Review of Hein Gericke Celtic Jeans

Hein Gericke - Motorcycle "Spidey suit"

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

...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 ...
...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 zip. While insructing I could wear these all day, unlike my race suit which started to make my neck ache after a few hours. So for the ...
