Price was a big concern when I was shopping for leathers, and weight too. Some imported road racing ones looked good. They were light and cheap. A LSR racer gave me some advice. He said to talk to the ladies at Bates and tell them exactly what I planned to do and to take their advice. The ones they sent me are for high speed LSR. They are heavy, hot, and expensive. They will give me good protection, though, and that is what I hopefully will never need.
