Leathers

Blind me, I didn’t realise what agony leathers are. Wore my new leathers for the first time today and felt like (what I imagine) sausage meat must feel like. Could almost feel my eyes popping out (just as well I was wearing my lid as that would’ve stopped them dropping on the street).

Who said, they got a headache zipping top and bottom together? Jeez, after about 5 mins (make that 2) I thought my head was going to split.

So, hat off to all of you wearing leathers, never worn anything this tight and rigid before.

I find after a few slides down the road, leathers soon loosen up…

They need wearing in…once they are worn in they will feel great. I love wearing mine makes me that much more confident on the bike…

Yip, they will soften and stretch in all the right places over the next few weeks (depending on how often you wear them).

All new leathers are like that. Its best to buy them a little too tight as they stretch lots and mold to you so end up being very snug and comfy. Wear them as often and possible and they will stretch pretty quickly. Also treat them with leather food it helps the sofening process.

It didnt take me too long to break into my leathers. You will get used to it soon Andrea

Prob best not to i cant seem to control puting on the pounds so by the time it stretched itll fit perfect!

Hahaha, I was hoping to stretch them by sitting on the settee tonight, I leave the sliding to Haga. I think Storm in a D-Cup said at one point hovering is a good idea, but I’m not keen on housework.

If John Wayne appears to be stumbling towards you tomorrow night at the Ace, don’t worry, it’s just me.

Bought a set myself on Saturday…feels really tight with the back protector fitted…assistant suggested the washing, hoovering etc as a way to wear them in!

Think I’ll stick with a beer and tv remote!!

Wear them around the house and stuff like that - anywhere not on the bike - they’ll loosen up nice!

well I got a new one piece,only wore once…but that took a good five minutes to put on…trouble is I would have to control my bladder if I wore it or plug it…
