Mine? Dun think so, but I mink-oiled them anyway so they're much darker & whatever blemishes are covered over.

OK la, if got unevenness should mean the leather is real leather. If too perfect then not really real leather kot 🤣

Saw the ad says it is CE rated. Do you see the ce label in the shoe and what are the 4 numbers below the ce label?

Anyway, just refreshed some of my gear to something more protective and hopefully long lasting. Went to Winmaster in balakong who are the distributor for Furygan, Shark helmets and a relatively new shoe brand called Eleveit. I was supposed to get gloves only to replace my old Furygan Jet D3o gloves, but since I was there already went and tried their shoes also and coincidentally new stock which includes new models just arrived last Friday.

After trying out a few shoes, my feet fell in love with this pair immediately as it can actually fit my feet! It's the Eleveit Venom WR. WR as in water resistant. My feet are pretty wide and I always have trouble searching for shoes that can fit me but this particular model have a very wide toe box design making it really comfortable for me. My feet is supposed to be a size 10.5-11 width 4E-5E but wearing this shoe size 12 it fits just nice. Not too long and the width is just right.

It is also water resistant and rates a '2' in almost all the CE rating except abrasion resistance which is good enough for me as I'm going to be using this for my daily commute mostly and occasional rides. Only thing is I need to get used to using a high cut shoe, the sole is pretty thick and the shoe itself is quite stiff since its still new, so shifting gear really needs some effort for now. Price is supposed to be around 1k, he had not finalised the price yet but he gave me a very good price being the first customer for these shoes.

For gloves I ended up choosing the Furygan F-RS1 which retails around RM6xx. It is their 2nd highest end glove in their lineup and feels really good in the hand. Made out of 90% goat leather hopefully it will last me long. Always wanted to try long cuff but was worried it won't be comfortable especially with my watch but I'm glad to report that it fits very well above the jacket sleeves and even above my thick gshock watch. I remember testing other brands long cuff gloves and don't find it comfortable but these are pretty comfortable for me. Only gripe is that I tested free hand in the shop and it felt nice and snug then, but when riding I notice my thumbs are pushing at the end of the glove causing some slight discomfort after some time. Hopefully the glove will wear in after awhile and it should... Fit like a glove.... by then 🤣

Another weird thing is that the exact same model in red/white colour scheme have a very slightly longer thumb and now I wish I'd taken that instead.

And now I've got gloves with matching colour scheme as my helmet laugh.gif

Ps: I don't have any affiliations with these brands in case it might sound like it. Just sharing my purchase with relatively unknown brands which offers good value for money especially the shoes. Really surprised to find a shoe that can fit my leg and was so happy that I decided to buy it on the spot to replace my old A* Drystar crx which have really crappy protection with a rating of '1' in all the categories.

sent it back and exchanged for a new pair with no spots.
this one looks much better with no blemish. rclxms.gif

i've tried redwings leather cream on these boot. too light.
then put on shoe cream (neutral color) on it. a bit darker.
i still have tinted shoe cream light brown that i'm gonna try next.
and last that i'll try on these is mink oil since that will darken the leather pretty substantially.

Bloody hell that's damn good weyh. And the first '1' actually means it's technically still a low cut boot. If its a high cut boot then perfect score liao.

My alpinestar crx drystar damn shit for rm879 retail laugh.gif

On a side note, anybody wants my alpinestar size 12? Almost 1 year old, condition 8/10. Bought rm879, offer me. But now people here know what cheap and good shoe to buy liao, I don't think mine got market laugh.gif

Cheap & decent. For the price, they're better than my Stylmartin Jack boots (CE: 1122) which cost me RM765.

perfect score 2 2 2 2
more comfortable than the helds.
higher quality leather, better construction and easier to get in and out.
but costs 5x more. price/performance ratio no competition.

today i took the helds through light rain. doesn't leak.

Id get a compression long sleeve shirt...normal tshirts will probably be drenched in sweat n take forever to dry...this way u wont be too hot in the jacket n itll be quick dry...compression wear will also help reduce fatigue

Definitely get one of those compression sleeves from shoppee so you can put on the jacket and take it off without feeling like you’re fighting off a monster to do so. As for a shirt, like some of the above said a simple cotton or dry fit T-shirt would do just fine.

The undergarments sold by the brands are typically for the race suits.

I don't wear leather jacket, but regular mesh jacket also gets I tend to sweat alot.

Here also so quiet, lai I come revive it laugh.gif

My previous Furygan gloves are short at the thumbs so not suitable for me, researched around and bought the cheapest CE KP2 rated gloves in the market, the LS2 Swift. Bought from Motardinn for only rm380 including shipping but now I see that model is being sold on shopee by Ls2 Vietnam for around rm400 but no XXL size so if they have your size, just buy it from there.

Read reviews and most suggest to go up one size as I usually wear an XL but now I feel I should had just bought an XL as the glove feels slightly too big as there is extra glove at all my fingers including thumbs. But I guess too big is better than being too small, the downsides of buying clothing online. Now sometimes I accidentally hit the horn button when engaging the signals.

Overall the build quality is superb, somehow the leather on this feels stretchable and really soft, the wrist strap can undo completely so it is super easy to wear and remove. The inside liner is weirdly velvety and soft, really comfortable. At the knuckles and wrist area protection the leather is double layer. The material of the gloves overall feels really thick and padded some what, almost but not quite like a winter glove thus making it feel somewhat bulky but still comfortable. Kp2 rating is really no joke.

Went to Winmaster yesterday to take a look at some of their stuff.
Some last gen carbon helmets are on sale.
Rm 1600-1700 carbon helmets that weight 1300-1400g..
I think that's a pretty good deal.
Tested some of them, padding aren't the softest but doesn't really matter if you wear balaclava. All carbon helmets use double D strap design.
I ended up buying a spartan gt carbon for RM 1700. (Checked at shopee the cheapest is 2000)
1446g compared to my givi m35 that is 1380g and hjc i90 about 1740g


Other gears like gloves and pants are mostly sold out.. so need to wait next batch

nice gloves. the palm sliders remind me of stingray leather on Held gloves. high quality gloves are now affordable by these disruptive brands. This LS2 used to make MHR helmets, and those were so much cheaper than LS2 now.

cow leather is best, goatskin on the palm is best, just wondering what 'superfabric' is used. does it look like kevlar or aramid? what color is it? like pale yellow? what I know kevlar/aramid/keprotech are pale yellow that lines the interior of gloves

Thanks! After using it for some time, overall these are seriously nice gloves. Holds up very well, build quality is seriously good and no doubt about the safety of the gloves since they managed to get CE KP2 rated afterall.

I think the superfabric is used only at certain part at the palm area and is black. Interior of the gloves looks like all black as well.
