you want something light, protects well, and cheap? How about an aerostitch roadcrafter suit? You can put the thing on in less than ten seconds, weighs less than conventional leather, uses memory foam protecors that out weigh regular ce armor(memory foam armor exceeds ce standards), and from what aerostitch and other people I have heard from, say that the cordura they use, is stronger than leather. So you got best of both worlds. Plus it's machine washable. I am thinking of buying one of these for riding, or getting a pair of their darien pants and a leather jacket. I dunno, it's about what you want. If you want to buy that gear, go for it. Notice he says it looks like it would not hold up. I would find one of these jackets and compare it. Do your own research, do not limit yourself to one forum. I am not saying your wrong ont he quality, but do not limit yourself to one's opinions. I feel so many people are belittled because they choose what others will buy instead of what they like. I personaly have heard good things about agv's gear. Some will buy Joe Rocket gear, but yet knock agv. Why? Alot of agv's new gear is being made in Brazillian leather, which is top of the line hide.
If you like the agv jacket, and gloves, go for it.
