Any good? A guy at work is selling a hardly-used one-piece for £80. Is this a bargain?

Not really, they are well known for stitching failure in normal use. I wouldn't trust them in a crash situation.
Dunno about the later ones but I bought a cheapone a few years ago - two 'kevlar' panels over my collarbone fell out within a year and were replced (along with a third that was still intact) at some cost by Hideout Leather. The suit then went on to more-or-less protect me in an 80mph highside, though it needed repairing.

I got one for around the secondhand price you quoted at a show, new. It looks ok still, but hasn't had an awful lot of use. Mine look reasonable quality for the price, not crashed in them though yet ... P.
