About $1600, with 20% discount for race use.
It is a single skin consturction so it is very light with only a single layer of leather. They can do this because inside the leather is a kevlar bodysuit. The armour I have in this is very trick, it works like a dead blow hammer and absorbs shock rather than just spreading it accross the material.
And over the weekend they were crash tested, prolly hit the floor at around 40mph right forearm down first. I didn't feel any impact and the only discomfort is my neck where my crash helmet got a little twisted. In my old leathers it would have been much worse. With jeans and T-Shirt I would now have a broken arm and lots of missing skin. I knew it would happen, always does with new leathers

***. 'Reg' is a nickname. My surname is the same as a famous UK actor. His first name was Reg, it stuck.

Humps are a fashion accessory, you dont go any faster with them
They can fit them but they cost $100...i'd rather invest that in upgrading the armour. I'll let the kewl ones buy teh hump

It is T-Pro CE now but I am going to get the Astrosorb as it seems to give better impact protection for not a lot more money. Having said that I threw the leatehrs down the road already and they are unmarked. Have a tiny bruise on my forearm which went down at about 40 mph or so. Great leathers.
