Went to my local cycle gear the other day.
Their store brand 'bilt' has some pretty awesome deals on leathers, gloves, suits, boots, helmets, etc.. Anyone have any experience with their leathers?? will it hold up in a crash?? |

My friend crashed in a Bilt helmet, hit the ground probably doing about 30. Helmet was scraped to hell on one side but he was fine.

Short answer is that it is decent quality comparable with entry-level gear, at an even lower price with a very good warranty, but don't expect it to be more than it is - BiLT stuff won't compete with Dianese, REV'IT, Spidi, or the higher end stuff from other brands. But it will compete with entry level Speed and Strength, Shift, Tourmaster, etc. Here is a quote from another thread that might be useful:
