Hi all
Been looking into a set of leathers
I've been wearing my akito desert gear that I wear when out on quadbike
It's nice kit for the price but the trousers are not comfey on the xtx as the riding is position is complety different,
Found a few bits on thumpertalk about supermoto leathers as they are cut differently quite fancy the alpinestars s1 suit, or try some Hein gerike stuff as that's about the only bike gear shop near me
That is if they make one for stretched people like me 6'5", fed up with moving the knee pads back down everytime I stop at junctions or lights
Your recommendations please gents

I wear Hein Gericke Voyager textile suit, its elasticated at the knees so the protectors stay in place. However i am 5-11 and maybe for you its more difficult. You might want to get a pair of trousers made if you can afford it.

Dainese m6 two piece, sometimes together sometimes just the jacket and my kevlar jeans. Very nice leathers, prefer them to my old a* stuff.

3/4 armoured jacket with as many pockets as possible and made to measure Hideout leather trousers.

I use Hein Gericke Desert TRG textiles (have an old set of Akito Desert too) or Richa TG-1 two piece leathers, which I am very impressed with for the price and have come out well in tests.
