Re: Airbag Leathers
Nick me some waterproof gloves when you're there. My last RST ones died after a few years loyal service.

Re: Airbag Leathers
How did they fit Perkles, were they comfy? Well worth the investment for track I've heard good things about them. Did you find out if RST do custom made suits for people without race licences?

Re: Airbag Leathers
The fitting took ages and very thorough ,on and off a bike to check seated position (bimota 2 stroke sex machine) with loads of little adjustments
The airbag works off an app installed on your phone bit high tech for me tbh
I was really surprised how tight leathers should be according to the fitting expert ,they had to peel them off me
Cant remember when they are going to be ready I've been working crazy hours ,I will email them today

Re: Airbag Leathers
Looking good Perkles. Bet they will fit like a glove. Did you find out if you have to have a race licence to get an RST custom made suit?
