Pilot USA – Pilot Custom Leathers

I purchased a set of custom made leathers for $ 1800.00 from Josh at pilot and have had nothing but problems! They are un willing to repair them! I don’t feel that they are safe to use! wouldn’t recommend that anyone use this company Josh took my measurements at pilot and they are all wrong, the suit is unusable has broken 2 zippers. It was shipped to me with broken zippers and doesn’t fit well at all buyer beware!!!

Pilot USA, aka Pilot Leathers make custom leathers, and they do a great job. Before making the trip up to Murrieta from San Diego I stopped at a local shop to try on an off the shelf set from another brand. While they fit fairly well in the shoulders, they were tight in the crotch and a bit short in the legs. I figured if I was going to spend $ 1,000 on a set of leathers to ride in they should fit properly.
So off I went up the 15 to Pilot. Call ahead to make an appointment, as that works the best.
The person who helped me, Josh spent 90 minutes with me, showing me the two different styles they offer and the beneifts of each. They also had a couple sets of leathers that had met the road so I could see how they held up, which was pretty good IMO.
Josh brought out a standard 44 for me to try on. As soon as I was zipped up he said «they look a little tight in the crotch and legs, 5 cm on each would make them perfect».
He was very patient and let me walk around, get in a riding position and try my helmet on with the suit to make sure it wouldn’t contact the hump. Pilot has a plethora of options when it comes to designing your suit. They also can add any patches you would like free of charge! Once you figure out the colors, design and patches the info is inputted and they start the process of making your leathers, which takes a few weeks (+ or — depending on how busy they are).
I never felt rushed and Josh was great. I can’t wait to get my set and try them out!
If you’re looking to pick up a set of leathers and most off-​the-​shelf ones don’t fit, or you just want to customize your own check these guys out, they’re great!
