I got the stradon, I normally fit a 54 in the trousers made the mistake of getting a 54 ,to big , sold them on ebay for what I paid ,then reordered a 52 which was a perfect fit , jacket I got in a 52 which is what I normally are ,it's top quailty stuff ,am well pleased , the only thing is that to send it back is expensive  so make sure you get the right size , but pricewise it's great ,  :biker3:

Thanks for all the replies guys. I think i'll go the route of the Dainese Stradon as it seems to be a great piece of kit at a very good price. The Rukka is just that bit too expensive for the mileage that I do  :wink:

Dainese and alpine star are good kit had em for more years than i care to remember, but i have recently had Kawasaki kit and it is amazing, got to say it is comparable if not better than dainese and A/S. Been out in monsoon weather and still bone dry, and in baking hot weather still nice and cool, worth a look.
get a grip and deal with it

Zedmeister,
Which Kawasaki Kit did you get? Is it the Stelvio or is it the new Ventoux? I've tried to find reviews of the new Ventoux jacket and pants but can't find any anywhere  :sad: There is a deal on the Ventoux jacket and pants at the moment and it comes in a lot cheaper than the Dainese kit.

Kimble - i have the stelvio, which has been superseeded by the ventoux, i have not seen any reviews either, but i will put money on it that it is a cracking piece of kit. Why dont you ask MR K who may have them in stock, hopefully there may be a dealer near to you.
get a grip and deal with it

Isn't the Kawasaki kit made by Bering?  Have a look on their site

I've just bought Halvarssons Panzar jacket and Prince trousers. All good with them so far.

Bryn ... how are the BM City trousers ?? Please let me know your opinions ... thinking along the same lines as you for the warmer weather, possibly the Summer 3 pants .. just want a lighter alternative for those hot days.... :yes:

Sorry for the late reply   :rolleyes:

Really pleased with mine, they are a lot cooler in warm weather  than cordura , but when it is cool they don't seem to let the wind through. Got mine pre-loved a couple of years back, and now got a pair for the Mrs. as well... we're going to keep a pair of waterproof ovetrousers in the top box for rain   :cool:

Another good thing about them... take the armour out and bung them in the washing machine   :smiley:
