same shop drop price?

not enough to protect from a fall
protect from the sun maybe

during lesson is up to the school
exam time make sure open face helmet, clear visor, with Sirim sticker

the jacket, was it fake branded?

for me riding pants should be just slightly loose, because the protection must stay in place
then, it should have kevlar lining inside...

I would, too, if I didn't know. the instructor told me not to wear my full face so I just followed

no problem la
I think the saying was that the officer wants to see our face... I see mirror everyday, I doubted that

look for pre-curved gloves
my personal opinion, test in shop, and get the pair that fits best

my experience, same brand model size... pair A I took left, pair B I took right...

it's the DD ring button? I think it's fine

perforated leather is best

you got try leather?

perforated leather?

just clarifying, I feel perf leather is cooler than fabric or those technical material

two piece leather suits with perforation, RS Taichi, Alpinestars, Dainese, RST, Rev'it should have
SPRS also take custom leather suits
some ppl make custom leather suits from local shops (my personal least preferrred)

one piece leather are more 'race' so you walk hunchback which can be uncomfortable

there are different levels of joining
- full waist join - the zipper joins top and bottom around the waist: 2 piece leather suits or adventure suits
- back waist join - about 10 inches worth, usually comes with jacket and you can sew the other half of the zipper to riding pants

- belt loop from the jacket to the pants belt loop - this one is basic street jacket, just a rope at the lower back of the jacket to connect to pants belt loop


every brand names have their own zippers, but different brands compatibility is very low, for example Alpinestars won't match Dainese

Good thing is, you can have a different jacket to match a smaller pants, try them at your nearest store

Shoei PFS has head measurement, and suggests model for the head, with expected custom fitting if required

HJC has PFS nowadays, wait for events
Arai has peelable cheekpads... lol

modular helmets I think more spacious at the chin area, for some lah, maybe that's why it doesn't feel as secure as normal full face, also the different weight distribution

minizian what is 'glasses temple'?

yes

eh, should be waterproof
could the product you applied to the boots ruined the membrane?

tarak warranty ke?
how bad does the leather look now, can share pic?

thanks

macam slowly seasoned... hopefully looks better as it ages

most ppl never needed it, so I don't wear
after I crashed, I wished I had them on

2 points to note:
- dress for the slide, and
- hope we never need the protection
