Im not usually into replica helmets all that much (especially Rossi) since they are kinda played out, but this one looks really sharp IMO. I saw it at Motoliberty tonight and it fits like a glove

Berik? MotoGP is made by Arlen Ness. Also, the Compression suit is $850, whereas I can get this suit for $400

What happened to the one you were getting off ebay? I think my suit may be a tad bit big because it doesn't fit as tight. Mostly in the waiste cause Im a skinny mofo.

I decided against it due to several reasons like the fact that Ive never worn A* leathers so I dont know if they will even fit, they arent perforated and ive heard they arent holding up that well...

I know, I was stating that I was normally not into replicas, especially Rossi replicas. Sorry, I worded it wrong, I meant to say that all of the Rossi replicas everywhere just kinda got me burned out on reps in general, but this one is different

The fit and finish of the Fieldsheer Revo is comparable to the MotoGP kanagaroo suit! I have tried on and ridden in both.

The 'roo is noticeably lighter, though. Whether that is worth $300 is a personal decision.

tamestang - if you're suit is too big take a shower in it! Seriously! BUT..you must keep the suit on until it dries, or it may draw up too much.

Once dry, just treat it with a leather conditioner and enjoy your now custom fitted suit.

Yes, I believe Berik is owned by Arlen Ness or vice versa. Imagine having a suit that feels like a second skin, doesn't need to be broken in, and still looks like new after sliding on pavement at 60mph. Btw, you can find the Compression suit for less than 850.
