RantMachine Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I've got a pair, pretty happy with them although the knee pads have a tendency to gradually work their way out of place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buggerit Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Glad to hear you guys rate them gonna test them out in the morning if im out. Full leathers can get s bit much sometimes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I've had a pair of Hood ones for a few years now.......good in this sort of weather..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali in Austria Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I've tested them in anger. The Kevlar remained intact although the outer was shredded as you would expect. I did suffer some pretty nasty friction burns though which have left lasting scars. Hasn't put me off wearing them in the heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benn Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Burns are better than road rash! I need to get a pair for this weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throttled Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I think they are a perfect compromise for hot weather. I have not had an off in mine, but by all accounts they work, just expect them not to survive like textiles and leather may do. There are plenty from £50 to £100. I have RST ones which cost £75 and Red Route which were £100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerMooFromMars Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 There are plenty from £50 to £100. I have RST ones which cost £75 and Red Route which were £100. I got Red Route ones for £40 at BMF! Tho I bought mine on a skinny day methinks cos they're a tad tight for me, and a teeny bit too short!! So I tuck em in my scabby £5 biking boots. With my too-big Furygan jacket...I really need to get some new gear...!!!!!!Never had an off in them - I'd just recommend you make sure you get ones that have built-in armour too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buggerit Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 will give mine a try out tomorrow thanks everyone. hopefully wont be trying them out too much if u know what i mean! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitedevil Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I have some red route ones and they're crap. Hardly any coverage of kevlar but they were only 30 quid from bmf. I have some hood ones now which are fully lined with para-aramid and 100 times better than my others. Check ebay as I got my hoods brand new for 45 quid.

buggerit Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 Well just went to snakes pass on mine today and weather wasnt great but I was still fairly warm. I think there a good alternative to leathers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sizing is crap and I some which said they were the same size were not when I tried then on. That is a cracking price for the trousers.

I agree the kevlar coverage could be more, it basically covers your backside and round your hips and down like shorts. What I like is the size and fit of the armour. I use the ones with the jeans for the knees and forcefield hip stuff which is huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
