Anyone have experience with this supplier? I have a son who is still growing, so I'm looking at either used or sourcing 'off-brand' for a season or two until he 'stabilizes'. Although protection is my first priority, dropping large coin every year on leathers seems silly. Use will be primarily for track days.

Has anyone used these?
Is the quality reasonable?

Thanks

Never even heard of 'em.

The name sounds like maybe it's one of those places in West Hollywood (noted for being populated by ...well, 'alternative' types.)

Not especially where you'd buy motorcycle protective gear.

I get creeped out just driving through that part of town, so I seek alternate routes.

I had a friend once who subscribed to "Taste Of Latex".

"Leather Paradise" just sounds weird, to me...

I guess it's just the opposite of "Hell for Leather." .........?

They are an ebay vendor. There are a few on there at similar price point:

http://stores.ebay.com/Leather-Paradise

http://stores.ebay.com/Jackets-4-Bikes

http://stores.ebay.com/Glorious7777-SuperStore

I expect it's Indian or Pakistani sourced, quality not stellar, but adequate for one to two seasons - BUT - I don't really know. I've heard 'good value', I've heard 'cheesy'. Just floating it out there to see if anyone has first-hand knowledge.

Thanks
