    Hi
    Does anyone know of any leather rental places in the Chester area? Oulton have the facility but sizes don't look promising. (Maybe I can ride out there and try them on?)
    Tried the local bike shops and haven't been able to find anything to buy that fits - 6' 1", 42" chest - not that unusual - but long arms and legs means I usually need a 2xl on top to get around shoulders and arms, but then it hangs around the middle.
    Favoured option at the moment is a made to measure from ArcOn (adds £100 to the off the peg £750) but that wouldn't be ready for track day booking on July 2nd.
    Otherwise it's an IXS 2 piece from J&S for £550 that's just about long enough arms and legs but £550 for "don't worry your boots and gloves will cover that"!
    So need a rental or a temporary 2nd hand (Poor fit's ok if it's cheap and temporary!) Have a couple of second hand sets to go look at when I get home but not optimistic...

    Hi BB, I am 6ft 2, 44inch chest long legs n arms, I have a two price black Berick suit, only worn last season, stored over winter, plenty of bug splats but no damage.
    Should fit you spot on, looks good and is a snug fit on me.
    I was going to put it on eBay as doesn't really match my new bikes image (Adventure Bike)
    As your on here could do a deal with you if interested pm me.
