The leathers were about four years old and they weren't the ones I wear daily. Will I buy Arlen Ness again, yeah maybe. Depends on the spec of the kit. Saying that, im looking at a top end Alpinestar suit with a greater level of hard armour on the outside of the suit
Check out the new range of Kushitani @mattmccabebrown . Tis lovely kit and they do a measure service too. Keenly priced I note. If my Dainese wasn't only < 12mnths old I'd buy a set.
IMHO - Arlen Ness stuff is crap! I crashed at 40mph and the Arlen Ness gloves I was wearing were destroyed - worn all the way through on a few fingers and both palms! their leather is cheap and shoddy My A stars suit, just a mere scuff which came off with a wipe down! Also, having crashed in A stars gloves, they merely scuffed and I still use them today
