I've been a huge fan of Dainese ever since. My Dainese gear has always held up well in crashes

I agree, there's a hugh disparity between A-Stars low end stuff and the more expensive stuff. Their $700 jackets and $1500 dollar suits are very good in quality, but their $400 jackets not so much. I too prefer Dainese now, and the quality you get with their stuff shows. They might be as aggressively styled as A-Stars, but that's okay for me. For budget choices, I've actually admired Cortech quite a bit. Styling might not be first rate, but all my buddies who rock it swear by it and I see a lot of guys at the track rocking it.
