Spiff Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Never used AGV myself and was curious if anyone had anything they could talk about with them? Pro's/Con's, that sort of thing. Looking at picking up a leather jacket soon and am having a hard time picking just one. Any info would be fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiff Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 I was looking at a few jackets on that site and they look pretty good, I like how it doesn't feel like I am a walking billboard for the company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Duc2V4 Posted June 19, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted June 19, 2013 Not that it really matters but AGV (Helmets) is different than AGV Sport (Riding apparel) they are not the same company. I have not heard any negative remarks on their gear (AGVS) other than it's hard to find in a store where you can try it on. As Switchblade mentioned Motorcycle gear, they do have some awesome deals on some of their stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 The "Doctor" had been wearing AGV's through most of his pro career..... Same with the also iconic Italian racer Giacomo Agostini..... You can look him up if you are not familiar with him..... I only have one in my helmet collection (the refrigerated one) and even for that time (early 80's) It looks to have been top quality.

Member Contributer mk2davis Posted June 19, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted June 19, 2013 I have an AGVS mesh trousers, and the fit is a little tough. Ended up ripping a whole in the crotch because I couldn't spread my legs very comfortably. The repaired it at no cost, so good customer service. After doing more research, I learned my issue wasn't isolated. I do believe this is specific to this model of pants, but you may want to dig deep just to make sure you don't run into other sizing issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wera803 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 My 1-piece suit that I wear at track days is an AGV. I've had it for probably 13 years now. It doesn't look that great anymore though. One high side get-off on the track and it was trashed. Barnacle Bill stitched it back together though and I continue to wear it. No rash to my body, no broken bones, etc, so I guess it did it's job.

Spiff Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 Not really looking for a track outfit, just some protection on my daily commute. My last Jacket was an ICON, while I liked it, their new designs are not necessarily for me unless I go with the stealth models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
