Default Livid leather? Any good?

Hey there guys. Well, I have been looking around for a full leather race suit, and I stumbled across this website that has a suit that would match my bike perfect. (Seen here http://www.lividleather.com/ni....html)
Well, my question HT, is, does anyone know anyone that has ever bought from them, or heard of someone who bought from them and know what the quality is like when it comes to crashes. I'm not trying to be cheap, I found a good deal on a Teknic Violator suit on eBay for 600, and I'm will to throw down the extra 120 bucks for quality, but if I can get both here for the 480. im willing to do that too. So any input is appreciated. The website is below for their motorcycle section.

I've never heard of them. Have you tried checking out New Enough's Closeout section? Also, STG has some impressive suits for not a lot of dosh.

TBH, matching is over-rated.

Yeah, I have seen that and constantly look at that site, but I found a Teknic Violator for 599.99 on an ebay store. So I'm leaning towards that. Even though for 90 more I get a free 100$ for SBTG's website.

don't match your bike, don't be that guy.

Always tastefully contrast.

i LOVE all the guys in Arizona who thought it would be cool to buy black suites...they're toasty!

Yeah, I agree with that. I am not saying that I wear blue pants, red gloves, a lime green jacket and mutil-colored helmet (on a bright blue/silver bike)... but I rarely match what I am riding. A lot of my gear is neutral colored, like blacks and silvers, but I also have some blue jackets (neither matches the blue of my bike).

OP: I haven't heard a single thing about that company... take that for what it's worth.
