My son rides a ZX6 and wants a set of 2 piece leathers - plain black -
for Christmas. He's mentioned Joe Rocket, but the cheapest ones go for
nearly $600 and I know he wouldn't be happy with just 1 gift under the
tree.

He says the leathers have to be brand name. Second tier brands like
First Choice (or whatever it is) are not good enough.

He wants them for warmer winter riding *and* possible track use.

I don't know squat about riding leathers and which names are 1st/2nd
tier and which aren't.

I've looked on eBAY and found Rhino 2-piece (not pure black
unfortunately) for $400...

But I don't know if Rhino is considered 2nd tier (which he doesn't
want)

He's 5'11", 225-235lbs. I don't even know what size he'd take.

Ideas, brands, plausible sizes, and links are most welcome.

Thanks,
Greg
