leathers with damage

Post by Ruffian »

Hey all, just wondering if someone could shed some light on this subject for me

A couple of years back I had an off which I was very glad I was wearing my one piece alpinestars set,
I only came away with a couple of bruizes (body and ego) because they saved me.

As they have crash damage are they still safe to ride in or is it a advised to get them repaired before using them again?
Will post pictures if needed but any help much appreachiated

If they are just scuffed, they should be ok. If they have holes, pulled stitches or split seams, they should be repaired.

There is a lovely lady on here, LWR Gerry, who does leather repair and alteration at very reasonable rates :)):
