The batman one is amazing quality.  I met a guy last year that had one.  $1200 or so for the entire set.

The stormtrooper one isn't quite as nice.  Still excellent quality, it just doesn't work as well as the true replicas.  (But then, it's even more awesome, considering it's leather..)  I think it's just the chest piece/belly that bothers me.  Unless you're really skinny, it looks ridiculous.

Here's the first part of a 4 part video review.

i know that members of the 501st would hate the look of the stormtrooper costume but as functional riding protection i think they did a decent job.

yeh the batman one with the blades on the arms is awesome

We do.  Lol.

But yes, for being leathers, it's pretty awesome.

That Tron one is great too.

Planning on it.  There aren't many of us in my neck of woods, so we're having a small showing.  Should be awesome regardless.  Stoked!  (Even if it is TPM..)

anyways.. back to these leather designs.
how hard do you think it would be to install a lighting system in that tron jacket. fibreoptics could be amazingly distracting for everyone at night  :woohoo:
