It's not like Puma is a "fashion label" just trying to look cool. They make other stuff for motorsports and have for years. It's only natural they'd get into this after the launch of their boots.

And by and large the reviews of their gear have been excellent.

I'm sure it's great, I'm not knocking the quality. But i prefer to stick to a company that focus's on, and has more experience with, the particular hobby or sport.

Puma is an "athletic" sports gear company, in that they make money selling running shoes, soccer shoes, athletic apparel, etc. They aren't making the bulk of their profit off their motorcycle gear, which makes it kind of gimmicky. I tend to stay away from gimmicks. Just my PP.
