Are they any good and worth the very high price tag?
I’m sure it is but some of us need as much help as possible to be a better rider. 😀Fad. They will be a thing for a while and then everyone will realise being a better rider is far more effective.
Wow! That is a lot of stretch! I might hang fire then.I've got some from Henry James and like them - they do seem to have a more stabilising effect than standard leathers. However, they've stretched a stupid amount (from hole 3 to hole 7! in about 20 rides) and I'm really disappointed as they weren't cheap. I did see a post from HJ saying they were going to release an improved version so I'd maybe hang fire until they do. I've had a pair of the HJ calfskin normal leathers for ~5 years and they've not stretched an inch so I wasn't expecting these to be so bad.
If you do get some I'd recommend switching sides every single time you ride as they stretch so much .

super soft, non-stretch, and wrapped in calfskin with a nylon webbing centre for extra strength
