What We Wear: Held two-piece Stint / Turn leathers

I wanted some leathers that would just about match any style of motorcycle - from Cruiser to Sports to Naked to Off Road. The Held 'Stint' Jacket and 'Turn' Trousers do just that. Plenty of old school black leather with a healthy hint of modern.

In fact, the leathers, looking at first glance sporty, seem to blend in very nicely with all styles of bike, just as I'd hoped. 

I've had these now for around a year and they fit like a pair of old slippers! Having said that, typical of the usual style from Held they were so soft and supple that they took minimal breaking in. 
 
The 'Stint' Jacket

With Zip air vents on it, Kevlar stretch panels and a mesh liner I've found this Jacket very comfortable this Summer. Last Winter I also wore it with some waterproofs over the top which did the trick in terms of keeping out the wind.

I've slipped a SAS-TEC protector in the back and love the fact that it's two piece- I can zip up the trousers to it for that one-piece feel, or mix it with some Held Crackerjack Kevlar
Jeans. Perfect for every ride!

The 'Turn' trousers zip nicely to the Jacket and also have Kevlar stretch panels in the places you need them most. This also allows a very pleasant flow of air to, well, areas that benefit from a flow of air ;)

Here's the official pics of the two items: 


 Summary

Great fit, exceptional comfort, plenty of SAS-TEC protection built in, the ability to mix n' match with other gear, the feeling of a one-piece when zipped up and the 'character' to blend in nicely with any style of bike. I've covered a few thousand miles in them so far and I love 'em!
