Never heard of them and that's the only site selling them that I could find with a quick look. I'd be a little leery.

Try Motostrano they have clearances on Alpinestar and other suits all the time, great prices.. Also make sure you try on a suit at a shop to get your size before you buy online it because they all fit different., I would recommend 2 piece suit if you not doing a lot of track days . Reason being is that you can take off the jacket if your just walking around or having breakfast somewhere plus you can use just the jacket if you like. The one piece you are sort of stuck in your leather when you want to sit and kick back...

NYSport,

I just might bump into you at the California Superbike School at NJMP in May. I am seriously considering registering for the May 11 & 12 dates.

Hopefully not literally.

Cool, We have 5 or 6 guys going on the 11th. We'll head to Millville on the 10th.

Safety First!

Cheap leathers offer little to no protection during a crash! I leaned the hard way with a set of Fieldsheer leathers. The seams on the shoulder and side pop open on impact...

I current wear a "GP-2 Kevlar Suit" from Motoport at the track. It's lighter then leathers and extremely cooler in the summer.

It's the difference of buying a set of Pirelli's, verses a set of some Korean made no name tires for the track. They may look similar but it's your ass if they fail.
