This is a compilations of the items I have worn when competing in motorsports, this includes: boots, gloves, suits, underlayers, neck protection, balaclavas and any other items I have worn. I will ensure an honest and thoughtful review of each produc...
Very comfortable, breathable and scratch resistant, with great colouring and choice of materials. However, the sizing was slightly off from the website to real life, which creates a loud rubbing noise as the legs are rather long, which makes the mate...
