i have slid twice in my atomic, and it held up, not a scratch on me, i had leather pants on the second time so i was compltely unharmed, first wasnt so lucky, ripped the levi's and got a paper cut booboo on my knee :sad:
firm believe that txtiles can be a nice addition for a well rounded motorcycist gear selection |

Thats good to hear. I like my atomic...but the leather fits better. I think I've got the same color as you....the grey. Mines the Atomic 1.0

I agree. I just got my first textile a few months ago, and I couldn't be happier with it. It's a good compromise when you want more protection than mesh, but it's too hot for (non-perf'd) leather.

Yup, we definatly like our gear. The great thing is the both of us are great at finding deals on stuff. There maybe only a handfull of things we both have that we paid full retail on. Most everything was on sale, clearance, or we just got a good discount at a store.
