Since I don't do 185 on the track, I don't need leather quite that thick, most off-the-shelf-leather will provide all the rash protection I need.
The repair option is nice, but for the same money, I can just rebuy the suit.
When the production of Vanson goes overseas, do you think the price will drop to reflect the lower expense? I don't. I see profits going up, not price coming down.
Then again, I won't spend my money on an Arai either......

I recently saw a full kangaroo suit for 900 dollars new! (seacoast Cycle) It weighed less than half of what my vanson suit weighs.

Check the thickness of the leather, the weight savings may be at a cost of YOUR hide.
