stretching leather??

[Mick_J]

I know this works but it is not particularly comfortable.  Get the leather wet (get in the bath or take a decent shower) and then stretch them out by wearing them in the position you want until they are almost dry then rub in a good quality leather soap and finally dry naturally.  We used to do this with our combat boots, made them very supple and comfortable to wear, done it with leather jeans and it works a treat.

Mate  like everything motorcycling, stuff we wear has a use by date. The stitching in particular usually degrades. Worth considering if you are doing a track day.

Leathers all softened up with leather moisturiser, hung in the bathroom for a few days and they finally felt fine.
Gave them a wee try out on the gsx today, still not sure i'll wear them for the track day tho.

Fair play that's a good result 

How do you rate the HJC helmet? I have one and has to be one of the best I have owned, the internal sun visor works well for me - maybe slight downside is that the vents don't seem to let in much of a breeze

No complaints from the HJC. Had it a few years now and used it for decent runs to the North of Scotland, daily commutes and track days home and abroad.
Does them all well 👍

About time for a new helmet tho, always wanted a simpson but keep being put off with the complaints of noise level.

I`ve had three HJC helmets during the last 18yrs. All have been fantastic. Great quality and reasonably priced. My wife has her HJC too, no complaints. We both have smoked stick-on visor inserts which now need replacing, however, I`m not sure of the legality of those nowadays, so i`m now looking at replacing both lids with the `new generation`, smoke flip-down inner visors......HJC again of course!

Back in the `80`s I spent a small fortune on an AGV.......turned out to be the worst helmet ever thanks to an ill fitting visor. Never again!
