Default Cheap Riding Suit!!! Let The Crap Fly!!!

Okay, I finnally broke down and got one of those cheap riding suits off EBay. They let me pick the pattern, colors, and also included gloves to match for $350 shipped. Ordered on the 25th, arrived on the 6th, not too bad. Right off the bat, I'd say that this is a one or two crash suit-depending on the circumstances, of course. I'd put it just below A* entry level suits and even with Frank Thomas, low end AGV or Teknic. It's got an Aero hump, cheap knee sliders and CE stamped armor. The stitching leaves something to be desired as it is only single in the low stress areas but double and even triple stitched in impact zones. All in all, not a bad suit for the money and the fit is quite good. The gloves are fucking outstanding fit wise and look exactly like the old ICON TiMax gloves. The mountain lion on the front is their company logo, I could have opted against it but wtf, it's no worse than a dragon, devil, puma or flying A in my opinion.

Bad pics (f-ing GF!)

Why, is it made in Pakistan? Can't see the pics.

Everything I've seen from Pakistan is ill-fitting. But, if you like it, cool, I'm just curious why you bought this when everything else you own is usually pretty high-end. I mean you could easily buy one of Alpinestars' mid-range suits for only $700 off Ebay.

And Chinese stuff can be damn good, in my experience.

Nice suit for the money, but you are right, you are one ugly mofo.
