Try your local j&s store, just bought this http://www.theshopface.com/buy/Frank-Thomas-Frank-Thomas-FTW330-Parisian-Jacket/08301.htm

Im have a smaller frame (5ft2 girl) and the armour is in the correct place for thesizing unlike other jackets i tried where the pads were half way down my arm etc.

It's amazing what you can get under £90 quid though... I'm going Frank Thomas leather later in the year... infact as I'm not that far from J&S Northwich, might blast through there tomorrow for a cheeky look

Agreed!

I went there yesterday on my big 180 mile trip... and decided I am going to have the Frank Thomas stuff, looks nice...

yeah the store is ace, lids, gloves and gear superb as is the bike warehouse outside (although it's mental that they have a Honda CBR600F3 (M reg 1995) for £2499... I mean come on... I paid £1800 for mine and it's a 1999 Ally frame with 8900 miles on it... where they get these prices from? That's Dealer Prices!

As for bits for bikes, not so hot... was looking for a new tax disc holder, not a lot there... however, yeah great place for North West people as it's got a cafe/food/brew

I got a £165 Garrett jacket for £70 from here, along with the matching trousers. It's fantastic.

If you're looking for a slightly cheaper one, there's the Acton for £50.

Some good deals to be had, as long as they've got it in your size.

Well as soon as I pass I'll look into setting up a meet and ride out

(all excited now haha)

BigRazer93 · 13 Jun 2012 at 00:39

I'm up for a meet at J&S guys

pugheaven · 13 Jun 2012 at 00:47

Yeah sounds good...

SportsBikeShop have clearence section with some in.

Most important thing it it fits properly, esp around the arms. If its too big then the sleeves will slide around moving the protection off the elbow if you had an off.

Dunno what size you're after but some of the Triumph clothes are pretty subtle and really well made. They have an outlet store that's almost always 50%+ off.

Something like this jacket could be good, waterproof, vented, liner and tiny logo.
