I bought a Hansa leather 2 piece made in Pakistan from Pannon - price was unbelievable.... http://www.hansamfg.com/ver3/ I was told that Hansa was the parent company of Nexos. Pic of the suit - I'm happy with it so far...

I also notice the seller of the BKS suit is throwing in "Free Gloves", something the eBay guy is also doing with some of his suits.


Also, if you go to cyclegear site, their Frank Thomas suits, look alot like the ebay ones too.

Take a look at used gear site on GTAM - "FS - bought online and fits too big/tight..."

At the bike show I had a friend try on several leathers - all fit very differently despite being the same size chart. I found the same experience with boots. Size 41/42 all fit differently....and I'm still looking for track boots.

Buying online without a proper fitting is a risk...esp if you can't return it.

I'll pass. I never buy gear without trying it. Personally, it's not worth the risk of not fitting perfectly.

I just got off the phone after lengthy conversation. I won't divulge too much at this point. True there is no physical store. I suggest stay tuned to this thread in the coming days for more info and details.

Exactly, Leathers should fit like a second skin, Seen too many people getting road rash under their leather from poor fit. I'd never buy leather I couldn't try on. Same goes for boots, gloves, helmets .. Fit is too important to safety.

I am interested. Lets face it most of this stuff is made in places like this, so this may just be a direct to us idea vs buying a brand name version for same maker. Ia m betting the company making these is also making suites for other motorcycle makers. But I agree I want to see them and try one on before I buy.

I'm still interested, if something can be worked out to pick up and possibly return locally.

I wear a size 9.5 shoe but ended up fitting into a euro 42 boot, which is supposed to be an 8.

So they are copying the designs, it does not necessarily mean they come form the same manufacturer

[caboose483]

They don't look all that similar to me.

[konix]

i'm sorry for the misunderstanding but i never said they were comming from the same manufacturer, i simply said that the suit reminded me of one i saw from berik.

sorry again for the confusion.

Thats not the one we are talking about there is another all black one...they are identical aside from the Berik Logos.

Yeah Berik/Arlen Ness/Madif are made in Taiwan I believe.

Are you suggesting that they are the same suit? or are you just saying that they have a very similar colour scheme?
