Yeah, I guess you get what you pay for. Just seems like alot of cash.
My Z suit with all the lettering came in at about the same price. Another difference most people don't know about until it's too late is the thickness and quality of the leather and the stitching material and technique. Some off the rack stuff (as well as a couple of custom shops) don't really offer any protection at all and in fact can make a simple lowside turn into a nightmare when the ragged inside seam get's permanently imbedded in your skin (not a pretty sight I can assure you).
Having destroyed 12 sets of leathers and 6 helmets over the past 30 or so years, I can tell you that your riding gear is not the place to try and save money.
