    You have to be joking. You're not gonna get leathers for 60 quid. Maybe at a charity shop, or cash converters!!!

    Even second hand a decent set is gonna be at least 400.

    I have a set that are too small for me now across the back, thanks to 3 years of surfing, and they were 800 new made to measure. I wouldn't let them go for less than 400.

    However, you could get some scrub body armour. Google it. It's what I use here in the summer when it's too hot for leathers. I've had a few high speed falls, like 40 plus, and it's held up pretty good.

    I appreciate the help. I'm not even looking for, well protecting leather, or special ####. I just need it to kinda fit, and to protect me more than, normal clothes.

    Also you can't enter in IGSA races with body armour.

    I just need any old leather suit. It doesn't need to protect me all amazing really, which is why i wont pay for big expensive leathers.

    And i need full leathers for racing.
    I wish it was optional or body armour

    Why doesnt your leather suit need to offer very much protection? Thats essentially the main purpose of the suit. Each is entitled to his/her own opinion, and "much faster" is relevant, but to ignore safety when out on the road is stupid. Entering IGSA races requires entry fee's and travel costs, prepare to drop some cash on that as well.

    Thanks, i hope they do too. And no model xD The measure ments are a perfect fit with extra space for clothing.

    Such a lucky catch. Specially when people start bidding at 12 seconds.
