I wholeheartedly agree with you, Fitz. I wish there were more of us buying though, because I think a little bit of ingenuity could devise a combination suit that would give us the wonderful flexibility of kevlar, but make most of the suit from nice, solid, grippy leather.With computer cutting, etc??
It could be a revolution like the introduction of one-piece leathers all those years ago, led by Geoff Duke.
Incidentally, I can remember people racing in two-piece suits, and in those dreadful plastic go-kart suits...
