  I think it’s good that people are aware, but also think it’s good that these inexpensive suits are available. I see so many people wearing jeans and a normal jacket instead of leather. These are a massive step up from what so many are wearing.

  We need to get companies like Environ out of the industry. Flat out scammers.

  I find it hard to believe any cheap suits can give the required protection. Back in the 90’s when we were producing Branded Leather suits on the IOM to Certified CE standards, our suits cost around £400/£500 plus. Glad you are still bringing these issues about leather suits etc to the biking community. Cheers

  Online shopping is becoming a nightmare in general. I find myself very often lately in ordinary stores again.

  At such a low price, could one easily replace the low grade protection with proper certified protection.

  Finally someone looked into it. For me when it comes to your own safety or others invest on it, don’t just buy it because it’s cheap.

  You don&apos;t need a fancy studio to put out great content. Thanks for the in depth analysis of the requirements that PPE for motorcyclists need to pass!!

  Any protection is better than none, false claims shouldn’t be made but there is nothing to stop anyone riding in sneakers, jeans and a hoody and rightly so. If it is sold as certified then it really should be otherwise simply state that it’s a fashion item or “paddock” jacket. Great presentation and good advice.
