How long will my leathers last?

MCN, 20 January 2012 14:28

Q. We all know that manufacturers put a life expectancy on helmets of roughly five years but is there a life expectancy on leathers? I know we should replace any kit if it has been involved in a high impact spill or accident, but what if not? I have had my leathers now for what must be going on 10-12 ...

Hein Gericke Blizzard Rain Pants

Mark Holmes, 09 January 2012 17:26

Hein Gericke Blizzard Rain Pants, £29.99Miles covered/time: 2000/two months What’s good: For autumn riding, I tend to go with a leather trousers/Gore-Tex jacket combo unless it’s tipping it down with rain. I find textile trousers make me slide around on the seat too much, so leather bottoms and this pair of waterproof over-trousers as a standby are my chosen solution. ...

Revit Defender GTX Gore-Tex adventure trousers

Steve Farrell, 14 September 2011 15:22

Revit Defender GTX Gore-Tex adventure trousers, £369.99 Miles covered/time: 1000/three months What's good: I recently reviewed Revit’s Defender GTX jacket. Now I’ve had a chance to test the matching trousers. They’re peerlessly versatile. Not only is the thermal lining removable, but the waterproof layer is, too. That proved very handy while off-roading on a hot day in the Brecon Beacons, ...

Kit review: Spada Classic jacket

Samuel Pinney, 21 October 2010 09:59

Spada Classic jacket, £195Miles covered/time: 300 (dry)/two weeksWhat’s good? The leather is soft, buttery soft. Find yourself touching it when you shouldn’t soft. The cow it came from must have had a relaxing life. It’s got pockets, a removable lining and protection in the arms. It’s also cool, so perfect for summer riding, and even has some vents in the ...

Leathers review: Berik 8320 one-piece suit

Chris Newbigging, 10 September 2010 17:41

Berik 8320 one-piece suit, £499.99 Miles covered/time: Three months/1000 milesWhat’s good? Fit, style, price and protection. Disappointingly I’d only spent a 1000 miles in this suit before gravel came between the road and my tyres, and I came to earth with a heavy thump at 35mph, sliding across rough tarmac chippings into a ditch.

How to buy leathers that fit

MCN, 10 September 2010 15:06

Q. I have just bought a set of two-piece leathers and have a question about the fit. I am a 40/41-inch chest and so ordered the size 42 after speaking to the salesman. The sleeves end at just above the wrist and the jacket zips fine and feels OK apart from feeling a little tight across the back of the ...
