| Re: How do you Feel about AGV Apparel I have been wearing an old AGV sport jacket and I love it, always have. I havent utilized it in a crash yet, but I am confident it will easily do its job. |

| Re: How do you Feel about AGV Apparel I crash tested my Aegis 1 piece a couple months ago. Held up nicely. No seam failures at all. Barely scuffed it as a matter of fact. Probably the best stuff for the price IMO. |

| Re: How do you Feel about AGV Apparel I crashed tested a set of AGV leathers last year. All I can say is that I paid $300 for the set rode 4 years in them and they saved my hide when I crashed last year. The knee did get a hole. It could be fixed. After 4 years and surviving 3 track days (almost) they did there job and kept me from picking rocks out of my ass in the ER. Best Bang for the buck. I bought a new set and will try them out when I get back to the US later this month. I have not rode in year cause I have been in the middle east supporting the global war on terrorism.  |

| Re: How do you Feel about AGV Apparel I aggree with the previous posters about durability, weight etc. But I couldn't be happier with my first set and that's why just bought my second set from Helmet depot. Paid $430 for a SP4-1 suit HELMETDEPOT Just have patience with the shipping (think it took over 2 weeks). |
