The Rukka kit should last a good five or six years plus if looked after and I'll still have my two piece leather suit for the dryer and warmer months. Anyway, come Motorcycle Live in Novemeber, I'm after a new one piece Alpinestar leather suit to replace to one destroyed at Silverstone earlier this year.
Well after exclusively wearing leathers since my crash in 2012, today I've ordered up a nice basic Rukka textile suit. I'm basically tired of getting cold/wet during the winter, so I'm investing in some more practical clothing. My current combination of leathers and oversuit do keep me dry and warm but there's always been a slight problem. If its not raining when I leave the house/work, I tend not to actually wear the oversuit and then if caught in a shower, I get wet. The jacket is also vented, so even with the liner in, isn't what I would call toastie.
