What would you want in leathers?

**S.A.M.** · 11-12-2009 07:18 PM

If you were to get a custom set of leathers what would you look for/get?

Would you get stretch kevlar in places?

Hard pads? Soft pads?

Anything else?

Built in spine protector.

rocket boosters

**sterlingc** · 11-13-2009 01:16 AM

get them to cover the leathers in dimples like a golf ball

it would make the air moving over your body more dynamic and hug the back side of you more closely creating less drag, which would make you faster

also rocket boosters and a strap for a knife so you could shank people trying to pass you

this is a good answer,
I would probably do something like that but get a spine protector separate and buy them a little loose in that area so they still fit

Are you planning on wearing your knee brace forever...?

S.A.M. you have way too much leather in your NJK's where your body bends.
You should have Kevlar wherever your body anatomically creates a pitt in a tuck and may make contact with the road.

if it doesn't it should be nylon.

Stretch crotch, back of legs, and arms. Accordian panel on the back and soft knees/elbows with a spine protector.

I'm basing this off my current leathers which are fieldsheers with only a small area of stretch in the back of the leg under my knee. They fit extremely well yet they would be perfect if the legs were full stretch, and i had stretch in the crotch.

**jabobstro** · 11-13-2009 08:35 PM

never tried a pair of leathers but i got a aleather jacket,it fits snug,been sick for like 9 days flu so i haven't got the chance to ride with it,they would have to fit good,i would want a bit of extra room for growth(about my age)hard pads,it would have to have good material and build,and actuallly be able to protect me.they would have to have the mixture of the colors,purple yellow and red.

as for skin tight yea i was room for my junk too, but i want a tight fit everywhere else

**ShaneShreds** · 11-15-2009 04:02 PM

I say the tighter the better, as long as they're flexible. I would rock some soft pads in the right knee for an easier tuck, a hard in the left, and semi-hard pads in the elbows. My current pair has an Aero-Hump, which is a pain in the you know what for what it offers.

Get measured with the spine protector.

Some races require leathers.
