If you guys and gals are in the market for new leathers, race or TD, especially if you are looking at getting a custom suit, it would be worthwhile to check out this new company Ballistik Racing Apparel. I had the priveledge of riding in some of their test suits this past weekend, and I gotta tell ya. Im impressed. Ask around, Im a gear nut...and this ish is NICE!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ballistik Racing Apparel is new company to the motorcycle racing scene, offereing first class custom, pro level race gear for a solid price. Based out of Mesa, Arizona, Jace Wilhemi (designer/test rider) and company have put lots of thought into the design, and technology of these suits. I had the opportunity this past Saturday to ride in both the Attack, and Velocity suits at the Musselman Honda Circuit in Tucson, AZ.
First thing I noticed right off was how light, and comfy both suits were just walking around the pits. I'm 5'10, 175lbs, athletic, and the 42 fit just about perfect. Easy to put on, no adjustment issues, no binding or pulling; range of motion and ease of movement were exremely good. On the bike, I was much more relaxed than in my own race suit, and I honestly forgot that I was wearing a borrowed suit. The protection is substantial, but works with the suit so well, it doesnt get in the way of riding at all. Being that relaxed in the suit allowed me to focus more on riding, and I was putting down some pretty fast laps.
I also broke in a set of new BR-Pro gloves that, for the crazy amount of protection they offer, are very comfy, and the range of motion is excellent. After about 30 min of riding, I had them broken in for Jace quite well.
All in all, I was extremely impressed with the quality, technology, and protection the Ballistik Apparel offered-not to mention the passion in which the Team puts into their designs and product.
I made a remark along the lines of how legit the protection was on the suits, I almost felt bad for NOT crashing and being able to givea 100% review on them! No doubt in my mind I would be very well protected.
Anyone looking for a new race suit, gloves, or jacket should take a serious look at Ballistik. Price, protection, and style...they got it all.
