The brother in law is getting back into bikes after a 5 or 6 year break and bought a nice Aprilia ETV1000 Caponord a couple of weeks ago, he got rid of his bike gear a few years back so decided to replace it with cheap kit that he can upgrade next winter.
Went to a local(ish) supplier and bought an okay looking LS2 flip front lid, a waterproof 'Adventure style' textile suit and boots /gloves etc.
The Jacket and trousers look okay (not sure whether they will be waterproof ) but at least came with CE Approved armour and back protector , I looked at the back protector in the jacket and it is about as CE approved as a wet lettuce consisting of a 4mm thick piece of foam similar to the stuff you use to line the draws in a tool chest.
Luckily I had a proper CE approved protector that fitted the pocket in the jacket but for FFS how do these f*ckers get away with such shit ,I recommended that he sends the so called protector and the relevant paperwork to Trading Standards
