  • RAY STRINGER, BSB Rider , RACE TEAM OWNER & Crew Chief

    It's been a long time since I raced but I finished my career in Dannisport leathers. Over 20 years of racing I have used most and nothing fitted as well as the Dannisport. I never hurt myself in them either! Always Testament to top quality leathers.

    ★★★★★

  • ANDI NOTMAN, GP Rider

    Thanks Dannisport for the support over the years, the suits worked faultlessly on a 125cc just as well as a 1000cc superstock bike, I never broke a bone whilst wearing your kit. The winter supermoto championship really put the suit through it's paces, crashing at least once every race weekend and it never got more than scuffed

    ★★★★★

  • DAVID 'DAVO' JOHNSON, TT ISLE OF MAN & BSB Rider

    I have raced in Dannisport leathers in my career and I can say after crashing at high speed without injury, Dannisport are one of the safest leathers manufacturers in the business.

    ★★★★★

  • RICHIE HARRISON, BSB Rider

    I have tested the leathers and gloves a number of times at various speeds and have walked (hobbles) away from each crash some of them in excess of 100mph which is testament to the products they produce. Always comfortable and a good fit and look mega. Andy and Dannisport are always my first advice when anyone enquires about needing leathers. Their attention to detail and safety is outstanding ensuring you can be safe.

DANNISPORT FROM THE START
