benjerrybob Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Anybody ever used Teknic leathers? Im thinking about buying a 2 piece set for a very reasonable price but Ive heard that Teknic sizes are actually a size smaller than most. i.e. if you were generally a uk size 42 then you would have to order a size 44 from Teknic, does anybody have any experience with this? I'll post a link to the set Im thinking about getting...http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TEKNIC-CHICANE-SUIT-TWO-PIECE-BLACK-SIZE-40-ONLY-190_W0QQitemZ170368330291QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Motorcycle_Clothing?hash=item27aabe6a33&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14#ht_918wt_1167 Quote
queen bodecia Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 If you're thinking of buying from fleabay will you have a chance to try on exactly those leathers in that size before parting with cash? Either from the fleabay seller or at a motorcycle clothing retailer?Getting a good fit is far more important than the brand of leathers (most off the peg brands are made in the same factory in Asia), so I would not recommend buying without trying. Could be a costly mistake. Quote
nman1 Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 As QB says, get to your nearest Teknic dealer, try it on and then buy, if you like. £190 is cheap but it`s damn dear if the fit is crap in both money and potential abrasion burns (should the worst happen of course) Quote
TC1474 Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 I don't know if it is still the case, but Tecnics used to be a wholly owned subsidiary of AGV and the quality used to be top notch at a lower end price.But this was a few years ago Quote
