d3nch Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 (edited) Howdy,I currently have a tatty old leather jacket, some gloves and a set of Lewis boots. A friend lent me this stuff to use when i first got into biking, to save be buying any in case I didnt take well to biking. Well now I have passed my test, and am running about on a 500, so I thought its about time treat myself to some better protection.I don't want to spend £100s and £100s, but at the same time I dont want just the cheap and cheerful stuff and I don't want a 1 piece suit.I managed to find some leathers I liked, and that fitted well. Its a Lewis Apexx Sport leather jacket, and matching trousers. Its around £130 for jacket, and £120 for trousers. Im going to get a knox back protector too. http://www.lewisgear.com/cgi-bin/lewis_detail.pl?id=LLJ116WHITE&width=500&height=438http://www.lewisgear.com/cgi-bin/lewis_detail.pl?id=LLT116&width=500&height=438Does anyone have any experience with Lewis Leathers?The only thing I'm unsure of, is what way are the boots meant to go, over the trousers, or under?Cheers Add Edited June 19, 2009 by d3nch Quote
Paul Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Looking at that picture in your link above I would say your boots go over the leg bits.Have a look at this pic. The guy on the left has his boots under his jeans. (I am next to him on the right as you look at the pic) My boots are over my leather trousers as they (the trousers) are tight and would never fit over the boots, but as I say, your boots must go on the outside if that is what you have in that link you posted. http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e200/pprune/Ace1.jpgTake a picture and post it up and let us see what they look like both out and in, if you can.

d3nch Posted June 19, 2009 Author Posted June 19, 2009 Hi, The guy has ordered them in. I went to get some lube the other day, and when i popped in he said that the jacket had arrived, and I was waiting on the trousers...Tried on the jacket, looks good I think...http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/637/18062009407.jpgD3nch Quote
