Hey Guys, My wife and me run a riding gear store in India. We currently stock several brands including international ones (Alpinestars, Knox, AGVSports, HJC, SAS-tec etc...) I'm working on manufacturing leather suits & gloves for track use and would need your help in understanding 1 piece suit & gloves, features and drawbacks of the one's you have used... I already have the manufacturer decided but wanted to make sure the best safety features are incorporated in the product. If you can answer few questions would be grateful - Have you had an injury related to spill/fall/crash from motorcycle, wearing a full leather 1 piece suit? - If so what / how / which suit? Can you explain what happened, if you don't mind? - Do you know someone who had broken any bones other than collar-bone or wrist(Scaphoid)? - Do you remove the armor in your suit and check what kind of armor it is? - How much research have you done on the armor used inside 1 piece leather suit? - Is the armor manufactured by recognized armor companies like Knox, Alpinestars, SAS-TEC etc.? Do you prefer wearing an additional Back armor or would prefer the one which is build-into the suit itself? - What kind of gloves do you use on the track? (I assume full gauntlet one's)? - Have you had any injuries to your hands during a spill/fall/crash wearing the gloves? If you can explain it would be useful. - What features do you like on your gloves, specially from safety point of view? After going through several leather suits and gloves from different manufacturers, I've noted down several safety features required... but I'm also interested to learn from people who have gone through those unfortunate incidents. Thanks in Advance!
