Verified Customer Reviews for Held Slade II 1 Piece Leather Suit
Excellent fit and top quality
30 April 2025 by Anonymous
First time buying any Held kit, I have had this suit for nearly a year now and done over 4000 miles in it without any issues. Excellent quality and surprisingly comfortable. Padding isn't intrusive at all. Easily do a full day of riding in it without any issues.

Excellent fit, Premium features and good value
16 August 2023 by Sadiq R
Purchased this suit to go touring with and for the ride outs on the bike. Very comfortable, fits excellent and feels very reassuring from a safety point of view and as a product as a whole. I also like that it looks understated even though it is designed for the race track it works well for road usage and compliments normal bikes. A little detail missed, I can not find any literature stating which panels are Kangaroo leather and having that information would be very helpful.

My Second Held Suit - Excellent Fit
24 December 2021 by Huw C
I bought a Held Rush suit last year and went for a second Held suit because of the quality and fit. The Slade II doesn't disappoint; the fit is excellent and the protection is of a high quality. Regarding fit, I went up one size on the Slade II compared to the Rush, and the team in Bristol were brilliant as always. I also fitted rib protection to both suits as it does not come as standard. Another quality product from Held.
