1pc or 2pc Leathers

Nice shop, was served by an authentic Italian chap called Marco, obviously!

Tried on the Laguna Seca 4, 1pc, complete with elbow sliders and race my bits basically £999

Then the Assen 2, 1pc, more street rider odd track days £800



Think I’d go with the Assen, it’s less and wasn’t as tight across my 6 pack area.

The Assen has just been replaced by this version 2.

I’ve found some bargains on the Assen mk1, so I’ve ordered that, £800 suit for £423 from a Dianese shop on eBay. .

Went with this style:

 

I can’t help myself, love a bargain.

New suit, boots and under suit from Dianese £1200

Tinterweb £683, same boots and undersuit, Mark 1 suit.

The Mk 1 suit have the large D logo on the chest, now one has a small badge like a footy shirt, just for info.

See how it all fits, or I’ll be shipping it all back heheh 100mph!

 

Thanks a lot, you don’t miss a trick hehehe

 

Bargains on eBay and Amazon of all places.

Tbh I preferred the older colours and the bigger chest centred logo, not the small breast badge that they have now, personal choice I know.

I also wanted to move away from plain black, but the red suit/colour is more orange tbh, when I stood the suit near a Ducati V4 in the Dainese showroom it was arrrrrrrg more too orange for me, not really a red. Don’t shoot me fashion fiends.

Ok, so the Assen fitted me perfectly and the Laguna was a tad slimmer on the tummy maybe, or I’d lost the plot by this point, it’s hot trying these things on, even in winter, the showrooms are warm. Both suits were the same size.

The Laguna is aimed at super thin racers I’d guess? Tbh either was fine as the Laguna would’ve stretched for me, it wasn’t uncomfortable at all.

I just can’t justify the extra for elbow sliders etc, it’s a bit too bling for me, I want the quality without the extras. I’d rather not have a hump either, but you can’t get away from them nowadays.

Fit wise the guy got me first time, the size I thought I’d be after looking at there size guide was spot on. No need for any alterations. Which they can do for you at £400+ and 8 weeks wait.

They can do special colours on some suits, your choice that’s another £500 odd.

So a custom fit n coloured Laguna Seca suit would be just under £2k

All that said, they felt nice on, always niggles me that the wrist zip sits on your bone on the underside of your wrist, maybe ok when on the bike and stretching a bit.

See what turns up on Thursday this week. Maybe I’ll pop some pictures up. No problem at all

 

It’s not really alterations, we’re talking a factory made to measure. Not a tweak on a off the peg suit.

I probably didn’t make that clear. In store they will measure you and hence the 8 week delivery as it’s made at the factory, bespoke.

I’ll live with the guilt cpszx hehe

 

Hahaha, thanks chaps, I can live with the fact that the Dainese store only had the new suits not the older one, so purchasing the older one in there wasn’t a choice I could make.

I did tell the guy I was pondering a purchase but without trying I deffo couldn’t/wouldn’t buy.

However, I have switched brands, so as a group they have benefited from the store being there
