Sooo, I was going to post in a new thread, but then I found this. At last week's Snetters track day I became convinced that my off the peg leathers didn't fit me properly, as I managed to scrape both my calf and upper thigh (!!!!!!!!) against the ground, but not the knee sliders - all the pics I've seen of the day reassure me that my body is in approximately the right position, and Alex followed me for a bit too, but ignore body position for this thread...we're talking stompgrips here...
I found a place near Aldershot (Hill4Leather), and went to see them today to have a look at my gear. Sure enough the trousers on my 2 piece need some adjustment, inc 2 inches taken out above the knee to make sure the knee is properly protected. I'm looking forward to seeing how they fit when they've been redone. However, the first thing the guy said when he saw my leathers was that I clearly hung on tight to a bike with Stompgrips - he was right about that, but he was concerned - he said that the knobbles in the stomps were going to go through my leathers very quickly, and that I should change them asap. As is they were wearing an elasticated area, expensive to fix...
Anyone has experience of stomp related issues with their leathers? I do have the knobbly grips on my bike, never really noticed if there are smoother alternatives?
