I have textile suits from Aprilia, First Gear, Tourmaster/Cortech and Field Sheer. The Aprilia stuff isn't too bad but it already shows some wear, the rest are rather crap. I ain't cryin' much over them because they're pretty cheap, but we're talking about fabrics starting to fray and zippers starting to break. Granted that I wear my shits on the daily basis for commuting (at excess speed  ).You pay for what you get. If you have money to spend stupidly like I do, then buy several different outfits and try them out. If you are tight on the budget and want ONE good outfit then stick with either Aerostitch or BMW. It's worth the extra bucks. I've developed a hate for BMW motorcycles, but at least their riding gears are still good shits.

I dunno, I would equate the tourmaster vs aerostich to the differnces between driving a ford vs a ferarri. Both are good cars, just one is way nicer and cooler than the other.
The tourmaster will do what you ask of it every day and you will be comfortable, but the stich is more comfortable and will last longer.

I recommend looking at First Gear and Rev'It as well, they are good for the price.
the newer first gear stuff is a lot better with the new d30 padding.

Motoport is high end as well on the same level as aerostitch/BMW.
