My lad was given a set of Wolf one piece racing leathers today. Apparently the were around £700 when new, and appear to be in reasonable nick. Anyone have any opinions on this brand, good or otherwise. Oh yes, emblazoned across the back they say "Funky" Hmm -- Dan L (Oldbloke) My NEW bike 1996 Kawasaki ZR1100 Zephyr My old Bike 2000 Honda CB500 (SOLD ) M'boy's current bike 1990 Suzuki TS50X (Heavily fortified) M'boys NEW bike 2003 Honda NSR125R BOTAFOT #140, DIAABTCOD #26
I've got two piece set that I've been using all year round for the past two years or more. Seem to be well made, fit OK and are holding up a treat. Not sure what they're like down the road and hopefully won't find out any time soon
I've got wolf 2 piece leathers, had them for about 3 years now and can't fault the quality at all. They've got plenty of CE approved armour and the leather is a decent grade... I didn't pay £700 for mine though! Andy Bonwick also wore similar and managed to crash at a respectable speed.. he walked away despite his leg being pinned by the bike.. There was a small hole worn through but I suspect the same could have happened to lots of other brands too. Short of getting made to measure I reckon the fit is pretty much perfect and if I were to crash I believe they'd offer a respectable level of protection.
Bloody hell, looks like the boy did alright then -- Dan L (Oldbloke) My NEW bike 1996 Kawasaki ZR1100 Zephyr My old Bike 2000 Honda CB500 (SOLD ) M'boy's current bike 1990 Suzuki TS50X (Heavily fortified) M'boys NEW bike 2003 Honda NSR125R BOTAFOT #140, DIAABTCOD #26
I've had a pair for just over 2 years (around 15k miles) & can't fault them. No loose stitches, no broken zips and very comfortable. I haven't crash tested them, but they're double stitched & the panels are overlaid rather than inserts so I'm sure they'd cope pretty well. I wouldn't hesitate to buy them again.
I sured the tarmac yesterday in my two-piece. Took the shine of the hip but the stitching held up. Except I need a new "F".
Oldbloke says... I still have a Wolf jacket I bought in 1984. It's been up the road more times that I care to remember yet is still in one piece. Good quality kit for the price. He's a lucky little sod.
Indeed, if he starts posting here as "Funky" flame him good. -- Dan L (Oldbloke) My bike 1996 Kawasaki ZR1100 Zephyr M'boy's current bike 1990 Suzuki TS50X (Heavily fortified) M'boys NEW bike 2003 Honda NSR125R BOTAFOT #140, DIAABTCOD #26
