Cycle Gear carries it. Not sure how close to you. You can check their website for locations. (www.cyclegear.com) |

If you're interested in the suits, although the sizes may be the same the cut varies quite a bit. For example a size 56 Kirishima or Nitro fits me like a glove but a size 56 Tank is baggy everywhere. Similarly the quality varies depending on price; the less expensive suits are made in the Far East and Eastern Europe and although there's nothing wrong with them, they're often no better than a cheaper suit from a different manufacturer. The top-end suits are made in Italy and have that hand-crafted look-and-feel. Prepare to vaporize your wallet if you try one on |

Here in England £500 rrp will get you a one-piece Dainese suit made in Romania but you're looking at £850 and above for Italian manufacture. The hide is the same no matter where the suit is made; the difference is that the Italian suits are hand-stitched (using a machine) rather than computer stitched. Arlen Ness is all made in China as is Bering. Spidi is Italian at top level - the inference being that the quality is better in Italy, but who am I to say? |

My P103 pants were made in Ukraine. I wish I could find a jacket of theirs that I like as much as the pants. P.S. My Alpinestars Vector suit was made in China. It is very comfortable, and it held up great in a crash. I wouldn't sweat where it was made, only have confidence in the brands quality control. |
