Leathers + Pucks


Hey everybody!

Stupid question, feel free to delete this moderators.
Just wondering can anyone help me out with some info about some racing leathers? I'm scoping the market for some full race suits and I don't know where to begin. Can anyone reccomend some possible brands or companies I should check out? Is there anything on the site here or an advertiser that could help me out?

Just wondering...

Thanks

- Brian

There were some nice suits coming in from Giannini Racing that were priced well.

I agree for the price the Giannini suits are a good buy for sure or AGV and Teknic usually have stuff on sale alot.

Re: Leathers + Pucks

I bought one from www.q-max.nl at 200 euro. They are a dutch company with some retailers in holland and belgium (i live in Holland). The pocketbike suits are made from leather and textile/cordura.
Simple design, But functional.

You should e-mail them. (suits are not on their website at the moment). Maybe a new brand for the USA?

Re: Leathers + Pucks

Ya, suits look like record/zocchi.

Protection are all CE protectors. Hard protectors on the shoulder, elbow and knees. Soft protectors on the hip and back.

I really do not know the price in USD. I bought mine at a discount rate/week. of one of their retailers. But you should e-mail them directly i think.

other suits are very expensive over here in Holland. for example: zocchi suits 350 euro. for about the same as what i bought.

Re: Leathers + Pucks

I have found some information about the shipping cost to the US.

Lets say that the weight of the package is between the 2 -5 KG. The shipping cost would be 30,25 euro. Sent as a priority package, you should receive the suit in about 4 -6 days.

For example the company would sell it to you for 200 euro + 30,25 euro (shipping cost). Exchange rate is about 1.25 or 1.26. The price would be about the 290 USD.

You should contact that company if you are really interested. I don't know the prices of the pocketbike suits in the US.
