Default Leather brands

Im looking to get an entry level 1pc suit so I can be legal for the track. I found a couple brands via google that I had never heard of but have very fair prices and look like their quality maybe up to snuff.
Id appriciate any impressions on these brands.

Rhino -- GP Motorcycle Leathers | Trendy Design, Quality Leather, Great Price

Thanks,

I just bought the top AGVSPORT model suit. It's cheaper than the big name brands like Dianese and Alpinestars and it seems very high quality. Wore it once and it worked great (didn't crash test it yet thankfully). It cost $700 for the top model with all the features, but I think they have 3 levels and the cheapest is like $300.

Leathers are good to have on aggressive rides.

Just so you know: 2-pc suits with full zipper are accepted for all track days. And those are perfect for the street also. 1-pc suits are annoying on the street.
Just something to think about.

Hi, I have a AGV Foza one piece I got for $325 on kneedraggers this spring.
Works great fairly good quality, the jacket part is a little bigger than I would like. Comes with kneesliders (haven't used them yet).
Otherwise it seems like a good suit.
