Vibrant and well made 1 piece leather suit from Hein Gericke, exactly the quality we have come to expect from the German manufacturer.
German built quality - stunning design
Initial thoughts
What a lovely looking set of leathers! I dont know of anyone who has seen this set that doesn't like them which is true testament to the design that has gone into them. A very solid feeling set I was concerned that they would not supple up satisfactorily but I couldn't wait to find out.
Sizing
Ok let me point out here that I am female and so the sizing cut of leathers is usually a little bit out-even in the ladies section, the Celtic was a bit of an exception as it appears to actually be cut right for a womans figure, in fact I would go as far as to say it is rather complimentary on the figure. It hugs in all the right places to ensure confidence and also allows a decent amount of movement in order to remain comfortable.
Construction and Safety
Fully CE armoured as you would expect from a reputable manufacturer, the Celtic is also very well made from 1.2/1.3mm leather and double safety stitched along safety seams. to allow movement the suit comes with stretch Cordura panels along the back of the knees and the thigh area.
Comfort wise it actually bedded in very quickly considering how unsupple it felt on arrival, before too long I was able to wear it for general riding without noticing it was on or it causing any restriction inmovement. As it is the 2 piece variation on the set (1 piece shown) itcomes with ample amounts of pockets for day to day use - something that is often overlooked in 2 piece leathers design, the suit zips togetherwith a full sized zip, offering yet more security.
