New race leathers. Which brand?

[daytona675]

I'm in the market for a new one piece. I was debating over Vanson or Helimot. Anyone have a preference or insight on both brands. Expensive ! so I want to get the right one. I like how belonged store is so close to have custom attention. Thanks.

Both are nice but if I had the money and can get into there store I would purchase the Helimot. I see in many of there reviews that if you go into there store they will do all the measuring for you, which is quite a few I am told.  But thats me, I can't measure anything and get the same number twice.

Zooni makes nice suits at reasonable price. Our whole team has them.

Those are all good leathers. Each are comparable to the other. I'd go with which one makes more sense to you in terms of working with them (the company) and how easy it is getting to them. Because no matter what leathers you get sooner or later you will need some repairs done to them and will have to go back in and get them fixed.

I got a brand new 1-pc Frank Thomas for $199 that i was hoping to use this year. Instead i'm wearing it on around town rides.

Teknic are also good. I crashed mine twice and it held up well. I bought a Italian made Texport suit a couple of months ago and I am very happy with those too. I paid $ 299 on a closeout sale.

I've always ridden Shift leathers and been happy with them.  A month ago I was able to help instruct at their sales meeting and got to me the person who designs them.  After meeting her and talking with her about what goes into the design and construction of shift leathers I can honestly say you will have a hard time finding better quality stuff.  She used to design suits for Rossi and Stoner and really understands what it takes to make a set of leathers that are comfortable and safe.

daytona675  I think you can't go wrong with the Helimont or Vanson's.  But, I do like what A-Diggity suggested.  There's always the reapair you'll need later.  Find out which ever one you chose can repair in a reasonable amount of time.  

I personally like Alpinestar and Arlene Ness.  My next suit of choice.  Good luck on what ever suit you chose.
