a friend of mine won one of their leathers. It was pretty thin and felt quite cheap. But their new models will be better and thicker I have heard.

That yellow one looks like a new model. looks really good

seems legit, sure its not NJKs standard but if you want NJK standard then buy NJKS!
The Norwegians know their shit and will be definitely putting in effort to make good products, they have a good skate scene going there and if they are designing suits for specifically downhill skating then it wont be long till they have something top notch

thats a good find!

i must admit i haven't heard anything about the company itself, but any company that is making a DH orientated suit must be trying to find a niche....most people who try to sell niche don't tend to last long if the product is THAT off the standard....

but jacko is right, you (can tend) to get what you pay for....

i dunno, try them and see!

agreed, buy them and tell us.
not too sure about the upper back hump though. they are good on the motorbike but i can't see how they would benefit us.

they keep your head off the ground in a crash. my old black leather had the hump, and saved my head / helmet on a few occasions.

Jacko! I like your name and you words about us Norwegians - the Wikings! But do not worry, I am married. I have sent a "request" to be your friend. I have news for you and the rest can here see it: I will give you a Duratro suite for free in June/July! Then you can tell your mates that it is good for DH skating! The Duratro is seen on the web arcticboyz.com. The yellow suite on top of this post was the first suite from us, of which the manufacturer did a lot of mistakes. Now, we have rejected 4 manufactures due to bad quality and are using the 5th one - which I am really glad for! Parts of "Duratro" is shown here: http://arcticboyz.com/welcome/images/stories/Produkter/Duratro/Dura.... This is our 5th try and the last, but so far it looks good. You can read more on the web. Our company is a sparetime business and just for me. ArcticBoyz are not looking for money (strange ha), but a good reputation / recognition. Sorry about my way of writing English - I am just a Wiking.... Waiting on your reply, if I am awake. This picture is a little dark though:
