Advice on leathers

[Shongololo]

So the BMF is looming and my leathers are 5 years old and been through one light crash, starting to split due to 5 more years on my old body and the inner lining looks like a rag ladies coat. So I was wondering the best place to buy and whats the best suit for value. I used to like Dianese but not sure anymore.

Advice or a map to a good shop/location welcome.
cheers

Really can't fault my Carrera suit. Not cheap, but no more expensive than certain off the peg Italian suits. They are based in nottingham.

Shongo, I don't think bambi is gonna be online for a few days - there is a pic of him on his race bike with the leathers on at the bottom of this page: http://www.superbikeforums.co.uk/index.php/topic,28091.45.html
Can't see too much of them but gives you a general idea

RST pro 1 piece mate, Got mine last year from the BMF. £399 retail. £150 from the show.

Go to as many dealers and try on as many suits as you can . A suit thats too loose will do more harm than good ie. in a crash it will tmove and twist and the the armour will dig in to ya . A £1000 set of leathers that don't fit are probably no better than a cheap set .

bought my clover suit awhile back its been in 2 high speed crashes and still going strong only for some stitching needing repaired bought it from custom lids in the toon,,,,tis clover for me at the end of the day m8 you pay for quality and since ya only get one body then buy what you can afford
