Here in the States, Dainese are considered the top of the line suit period. Spyke are on par with Alpinestars. Those dainese suit cost as much as your new bike in singapore. Texport has been around but rarely spoken for in the States. In the UK maybe so....

i have the GPU suit by Alpinestars but i wish for the smx version suit. If i haev that cash laying around, you bet dainese will be on my shopping list.

dainese suits are like nike shoes, nice design and top pf the line in price.

 

texport is also very well made and has some solid designs for a much better price than dainese.

 

rev'it is also a very good make for leathers

using the Clover rc100 series vented model with speed hump and sliders.

the fit is damn solid and the leather is thick yet soft.

removable CE protectors and lining.

Rated best full leather 1 piece suit in Feb 2004 British Edition of "Superbike"

 

100% satisfied!!!!

highly recommended!!!!!!

top class material and make quality

 

worth every cent....

 

check out this review:-

In a pre-NEC bike show presentation, we were party to preview of some fine leather and fabric items from Italian moto clothing company Clover. It’s not a well –know brand in the UK, but in Italy they are among the top three. Judging by some of the fabric stuff we were shown, their position in the Serie A of Italian clothing companies is well deserved. Despite the dubious name – Clover? Irish lucky charms? – the design and ‘build quality’ of the jackets was spot-on. It’s not gear pitched at the lower end of the market but it’s worth a look if you want a bit of Italian design flair on your back. They sponsor a few Italian grand prix riders and Big Al has been comfy as you like in an RC100 one-piece race suit this season with no complains. check out http://www.clover.it for pretty pictures.

Dainese basic leather pants with velcro for sliders = $780

RS Taichi leather pants with velcro for sliders = $680

Clover Leather pants with velcro for sliders = $620

Rev-it LEather Pants with Velcro for sliders = $550

Lower grade leather pants with velcro for sliders $400 - $500

Cheapest one i have seen is in Tokyo's Ueno park which is famous for bikes accessories and apparel. about JPY25000 with works out to be just below $400.

that was during the sale period.

 

Leather pants with velcro for sliders are generally $100 - 200 more than normal leather pants becos they are armored in the right areas and have velcro for sliders

 

IF you are keen to go on track, just buy a full suit once and for all. it will save you money. In other words, do it right the first time...saves money time and effort

 

But if you already have a good leather armored jacket, just buy the matching pants, then you will have a 2 piece leather suit which is decent for the track too.

it will set you back half the price of a full suit either way..........

Dainese Singapore or rather JR located along upper serangoon only has one model for leather pants with sliders application. he quoted $780 last time although wiling to give 10% discount. $650 is quite reasonable if you ask me. but it's not perforated so can be very hot.

 

CE armor you can easily buy over the net.... or go to chiap lee

I have tried on a few brands before although not actively on the track.

 

Texport - good feel and good price but make is a little raw.

Dainese - good feel, great designs, make is good, price is too high

RS Taichi - good feel, soft but feels too thin, price is quite high.

Rev'it - good feel, well made, good price (highly recommended)

Clover - good feel, soft, doesnt feel thin, very well made, price OK.

Alpinestars - Feels tough but a bit hard and thick. Price OK

Spyke - feels good, nice designs, price OK

Komine - thin, basic, doesnt feel protective enuff, cheap

 

 

this are my personal opinions after trying the suits.

 

please try, strectch bend, curl, kick, pull, squat before buying.

The moment somewhere uncomfortable, drop it no matter how cheap.

 

$1200 can get you a very solid suit already..........

if you are going on the track, one piece full suit is the way to go.

so many other brands, no need to buy spyke for $1,500.

 

Revi'it made in europe (netherlands brand) very solid about $1,200

My personal recommendation for budget concious yet seek top quality.

 

Motorworld stocks many jap brands and the sales staff not helpful.

go there to buy only for convenience . pay and then **** off

:nono:
