I purchased a stretch jacket and pants from Motorport ~2 years ago. Unfortunately I have had several instances where I put them to the test. With 5 crashes, I haven't had a single scrape where I was wearing the suit.

Crash 1: Lowside at ~30 mph. I slid for ~30 feet. There was a small wear mark on the pants.
Crash 2: Lowside at ~35 mph. I slid for ~30 feet. Another small wear mark. The aluminum case on my motorcycle wore through from sliding on the pavement.
Crash 3: Lowside at ~50 mph. I slid for 75+ feet on gravel on the side of the road. The suit had a small tear through it and the pants had lots of wear marks. I brought it in for repairs after this crash. The shoes and gloves that I was wearing (not from Motoport) wore all of the way through and I had a small scrape on my foot and hand. No injuries at all where I was wearing the suit!
Crash 4: Lowside at 30 mph. Another small wear mark (on the newly repaired suit - darn!)
Crash 5: Lowside (? - It happened pretty quickly) at 50+ mph. It was raining so I slid for 100+ feet on the asphalt with a small tear through the pants (behind a pad). I didn't have any injuries at all. The bike didn't fair as well :( - the front was destroyed from hitting an embankment and the handlebar snapped.

Overall, the purchasing experience from here was very good and I would say this suit is the best that money can buy. Definitely has paid for itself with medical bills that I would have had otherwise. On top of being very protective, it is also comfortable (even in summer). I highly recommend their gear!
