HELD Slade Leather Race Suit Review from Sportbiketrackgear.com

[Rtype1000]

I dont know about Held stuff in US.. but most of a Held stuff available in europe is made in europe.

One thing about Dainese: They make great product, but Dainese price is there because of styling and name.

Take Held or Revit suit and multiply price by factor of 2. You get saame level of technology. Alpinestars is little better at this the Dainese.

Top level gloves and suits from Berik and Arlen Ness are designed in house but protection development and production is made by Held.

@Rtype1000 Held offers some amazing gear from the gloves to the suits hard to go wrong.

hi brain i noticed this suit has so many high end fetures with out the price tag of the ultra top stuff like alpinestars and dainese offer, any idea why held can offer it for so much less?

@IornDog91 The US Distributor set the retail at a more affordable price point to get the ball rolling. It worked well and they decided to hold the price for all of this season. One of our staffers/racers on the STG AMA Team is wearing one and likes it a lot. Great suit for sure.

I tried a couple leather suits, and I kept the Held Slade. Pretty good fit, Tize 60 is 60 and not a 58 or something else ...

Two zippers in front (ventilation), inside pockets ... never believed to get of my jeans and textile jacket kombi, but the held slade switched me!

Congrats to Held south Germany, this stuff is really great, and last but not least, the suit looks this cool in black ... I really love it!

Just curious... where is this suit made?

[Sportbiketrackgear]

@MrKamechan Pretty sure it is designed by Held in Germany and sewn in China. THe reality is most of the motorcycle gear is made in China. Very few exceptions

Great review again! Are you going to make a review of the Held 'Pro Shift' boots ?
