“It’s the economy, stupid!” Wrong…..it’s your skin!! The Komodo Gear Challenger Race Suit costs $700.00, and you are right; you can get an on-line “smoking deal” for $300.00; BUT, how is the “smoking deal” put together and out of what is it made. And one more question: have you ever seen an AMA pro wearing one?
The Challenger Race Suit is constructed of premium grade, full grain cow leather. Full grain means that Komodo Gear uses the full thickness of the pelt to construct the suit, not the “pretty” part that has been shaved off to remove the blemishes. This, by the way also makes such leather thinner. All seams are folded, glued and then triple stitched. Impact areas are reinforced, and where they use accordion stretch there is a separate layer of 1.3mm full grain leather beneath. All armor is genuine C.E. rated materials.
So, you do the numbers…if you hit the pavement doing 100+MPH what do you want between you and the asphalt; a Komodo Gear quality Challenger Race Suit or the $400.00 you saved? Remember “it’s the economy stupid”, but, can you survive it without your job?
Why Choose the Challenger Race Suit over a $300.00 Deal?
The Challenger Motorcycle Road Racing Leather Suit
The Challenger motorcycle road racing leather suit was designed by Komodo Gear with these economic times in mind. We all know that motorcycle racing is more than a sport….it is really an addiction! Motorcycle racers tend to make it to the track whether they can afford it or not. Because Komodo Gear has had such a “track side” presence over the past five plus years, we have seen that the equipment that tends to get neglected when funds are tight is racing leathers and boots! The mindset is: “hey, I’m probably not going to crash this weekend anyway, so my leathers will be “good enough” for one more race”. Problem is, at the last race of the season you are still saying the same thing…right?
The Challenger Motorcycle Road Racing Suit costs $700.00 and is “Komodo Gear” quality. Granted…$700.00 is not cheap, but a $5,000.00 skin graft is not either! The Challenger Race Suit is constructed of premium quality 1.3mm full grain leather. It is held together with triple stitched seams, and is reinforced in the impact areas. Where you see an accordion stretch panel there is a separate layer of 1.3mm full grain leather beneath. Only genuine C.E. rated armor is used.
You can buy racing leathers for $300.00, on-line or from you buddy. But don’t you owe it to yourself and your families to spend a little bit more and get protection you can trust? We’re talking $400.00. The race season runs about 10 months. That’s only $40.00 a month. All of us waste at least $40.00 a month. “Conserve to get the protection you deserve!!”
2012 Motorcycle Drag Racing – Drag Race Suit
The adrenaline rushes of 0-160mph it a few seconds? Yes, we are speaking about Motorcycle Drag Racing. Racers have gone from the streets to the track as Drag Racing becomes more popular throughout the United States. Several years ago Drag racers wore very little for protection however, with advances in the sport also come advances in rider’s safety. Sanctioned organizations have specific guidelines and that is why Komodo Gear worked closely with several AMA Pro Star drag racers on designing a protective and affordable drag race suit that would be NHRA legal with features that include reinforced impact zones with a second layer of leather (knees, elbows, forearms, shoulders, butt); a 360 degree full circumference zipper and flared legs for a full boot cut. The race suit also insides an inside pocket along with stretch panels in the crotch and arms including a D-ring on each arm! Also keeping in mind with today’s economic climate, the price is incomparable at $499.95 US.
