Just a shout out to SportsBikeShop.co.uk

Received the jacket and it's very well made, but I'm getting annoyed that there aren't standard zip sizes on gear!

Now I'm only missing some nice summer boots.
 
Bought two pairs of gloves through them. The main problem is the lack of consistency with clothing sizes.

I bought a pair of winter gloves 2xl was too big, exchanged free charge via a post office for an xl pair. Returned and redelivered in under a week, brilliant.

Ordered a summer pair of gloves, logic said order xl, nope too small, returned for 2xl.

Obviously the service is impeccable and the prices are no higher than anywhere else, but if the girl on the phone knew the exact characteristics of the clothes why don't they add this info to the product descriptions? It would surely save them a fair amount in postage costs?

Yes, I would STRONGLY recommend, pockets are a little small. I'm used to long length jackets, not the short motorbike ones so I'm alien to that but it fit's brilliantly and when you remove the lining. Air just flows through it. SOOOO nice.

You can see through the mesh if that helps give a picture. But places that need cover are indeed covered, and armour is as good as any other textile I've owned.

Worth every penny.

I'm 6'2" with long limbs.

I went for the medium, the chest could be a little snugger as it's an inch or 2 too big. But nothing extreme and doesn't 'fold' when I sit down. The arm length is perfect.

I bought the same one a few weeks ago and I agree its a good fit and feel.
 
Anybody bought the matching trousers? This site doesn't have them but seen them elsewhere. Textile trousers always seem really baggy, hoping mesh ones will be less so but buggered if I can't find a shop to actually visit!
 
My experience with Sportsbikeshop isn't quite as good.

I ordered a back protector a week ago, the money was taken, my order was confirmed and the day after I received an email saying my order had been dispatched.

Then yesterday I received another email saying that my order hadn't been dispatched after all, the back protector wasn't even in stock and it was going to take another week before I receive it. The whole reason I ordered from Sportsbikeshop was because their advert said the item was in stock, if I'd known that it wasn't then I would've ordered elsewhere.
 
Ordered a jacket from them years ago, never had a problem.

Just ordered a new pair of gloves from them this morning, will see what happens.

Did you ask for a refund? Did they refund you as soon as you asked them to?
 
I had to send my jacket back as the sleeves were different thicknesses!

I just ordered the wurth chain lube chain cleaner pack a chain cleaning brush and oil filter about 5 o'clock ...15 odd mins later I got an email saying my orders been dispatched,

Thought I'd try them again :)

There's no point now. I'm going away on holiday tomorrow so I might as well wait for it to come in stock while I'm away. It should've arrived last week, especially when I've even got an email saying it had been dispatched.
