Title: Xelement leather jackets?
Post by: ikillterrorists on October 02, 2012, 06:44:54 PM
Anybody buy/wear these before? I can't find any consistent reviews on them, and I don't trust leatherup.com

I have some of their stuff but no leather. the company is fine to work with

i had ordered a pair of their leather boots but they were too small. they get their stuff from asia somwhere and sometimes they get the us conversion from euro off
i ordered 10 1/2 boots when they arrived they said 10 1/2 but 43 euro. i wear a 44 euro which is 10 1/2

Just saying be prepared to use their exchange policy

of the boots though were nice and thick leather

Their cheapo textile jackets are half-decent.  They are a one-crash throw away, but I had no rash.

The insulation isn't very good for the real cold, but down to 40 or so it's pretty decent.

I have gotten a few pairs of boots there, but I can't recommend the "touring" waterproof ones.  The sole was nearly gone at the ball of my foot in less than 2000 miles.
