Ive had 3 Teknic suits now and they have been spot on. If they fit you then id go for those.

RST seem to have come on leaps and bounds since there first suits and have now got a decent reputation. There Pro range is the best i think.

for size you really have to try them. im 44 in most leathers. make sure your looking at UK size 44 if online, not euro sizes which are about 10 numbers higher :icon_thumright:

there's UK and Euro sizes, 10 difference between the two so be careful of that  :icon_thumright:  :iamwithstupid:

You'll find that there will be differences in fit between different brands of the same size so I'd advise to try before you buy and to always remember that although they might feel really nice that you might want to fit a back protector underneath at some point so try them on with a back protector too  :icon_thumright:

Try cissbury leathers on egay, I got a nice set of Berik leathers for 350 quid offer. They were up for 500 or best offer........... :icon_thumright:

If not then I'd go for the Teknics as they get rave reviews....................Good luck.
