Funny, I had a very similar crash in my Helimot leathers at Thunderhill the weekend after Thanksgiving! They are trashed, but repairable. Wish I had chest protection, though! Nice photos, Willy!

(I may have also seen them once or twice in Cycle World)(the current issue of Rider maybe has one too - boot review actually). So they are out there, and YES they are invaluable (for instance, search the Bay Area Riders Forums for FirstGear pants...I wouldn't have purchased mine...). Thanks for the writeup, and, as should be inferred, keep them coming - though don't go looking for cause to do so!! Just FYI, Sport Rider has these occasionally as well.

Although I was broke and young. I still think I would get some more use out of them even now before repair or replace became a real need though. @brinskee, during my racing career, that level of damage would in no way have warranted repairs.
