| Wolf 1 piece leathers Hey all, I'm racing the blade next year (yippee) so I need to replace my 2 piece leathers with a decent 1 piece. Does anyone have any experiences or opinions on the leathers from the UK company Wolf? I'm thinking of getting myself one of their suits (Specifically I'm keen on their kangaroo suit), but they aren't available here in Australia so I don't know anythying about them and cannot try them on. I've heard romurs that they are good kit. Here's where I'm planning on buying the suit: Wolf Motorcycle leathers - Suits The other suit I'm looking at is the MotoGP compression kangaroo. I've read the reviews on this site and it seems good, but I still don't have info on them. I don't know if anyone has crash tested them yet. Once again they're not available in Australia so I cannot try them on anywhere: A-Z Powersellers - Motorcycle exhaust systems, Motorcycle Parts and Accessories for Sportbikes Is there any more info from current owners of the MotoGP compression kangaroo suit since the last thread? Cheers Greg | |

 | Re: Wolf 1 piece leathers DO a search on it (on this board). From what i have heard the GP suits are good. I personally have to go custom due to my slim frame(Z leathers here soon). Couldn't you just off some joie's and have dundee just stich them together?  |

I just recently received my custom gimoto. Overall I am very happy with the suit. I was nervous about coming from Italy and it fitting properly so I had a professional tailor take my measurements and the suit was spot on.  | |

| Re: Wolf 1 piece leathers Choc, ask your question on Brit bike forum visordown and you'll get plenty of feedback. Popular brand over here, no personal experience though. Motorcycle forums, news, articles, biking and events from Visordown.com |

The reason I went with gimoto is for the custom kangaroo. I couldn't find another company that did custom measurements for kangaroo suits. The suit seems well made, hopefully I will never crash test it. I was told gimoto used to make AGV custom suits for them and do custom stuff for other manufacturers. | |
