I don't doubt it. My last suit was an IXS, it's Swedish and about the same quality as Dianese, I LOVED it, it had a full silk liner which made it easy to get on and off, and if you go down the silk wont give you a friction burn like other linings. Once I have the money I'm getting a custom suit done, probably by Syed, I visited their shop in Orlando and their stuff is beyond top-notch.

No doubt. My next suit will be a 1-piece. I'd like a custom deal...maybe a Vanson...but who knows. My 2-piece will do for a while.

Got the boots today, they look brand fucking new! Fit good too. If it's not raining tomorrow I'm going to try them out on the bike. Thanks for including the plastic toe-sliders, I have a tendency to drag toes on the 'tard and I doubt JGP would be realy happy with the metal ones!

I've got 2 Syed custom suits and they are the shit! Maybe a little less "refined" than A* or Dainese but very well made and they can (have) stand up to multiple crashes. My older suit was built in 1993 and has been crashed 5 times, Twice at slower (40ish) on the street and 3 times on the track, twice at around 80mph and once at over a hundred and they held up great.
I never had to visit a Dr from any of the get offs. The leathers still look good enough to wear and would pass any tech for track use still.
The A* and Dainese look and feel great but don't seem to crash as well.
I have never worm BB's leathers, but I know Bill, been to his shop, had him alter and repair my Syed's. His work and materials is top shelf.

I haven't gone with a full custom suit yet but my next purchase will be Syed.

I have had both them and BB do repairs for me in the past.

BB does good work also but I am 100% sold on Syed quality. I have been to their shop outside Orlando and they were very nice and very helpful.
