Susan Edwards of Aberdeenshire bought her BKS 100SP after talking to people who had crashed in theirs. "On the bike it's comfortable and reassuring, off the

bike it's like wearing armour," she said. "But I'd buy the sameagain - my skin and life deserve the best."

John O'Sullivan's BKS 200 suit cost him £1450. "I'm very impressed. It took four months to arrive (over the winter) but only took 500 miles to break-in.
"I had it made fully ventilated so it's cool enough for summer rides."
