Perfect for those hot summer days when you just dont want to wear leather...

The Boston Celtics are among the greatest basketball franchises. I was living in Boston during the 1987-1988 season. At that time the Boston Celtics included: Larry Bird, Robert Parish, Dennis Johnson, Danny Ainge, Reggie Lewis and Kevin McHale. Attending a Boston Celtics game at the original Boston Garden was, I dare say, a religious experience...

Kevin McHale, boy that rings a name in the past. But, without question Larry Bird was a legend of his own. I too was in the Boston area during that time.
That was a glorious time for the Celtics.

As for the Celtics suit, I think I will pass on the great price and stick with a
Dainese.

Oh yeah, about the suit- no idea about the Gericke Celtic. Over the weekend, I bought an RS- Taichi Vegas Evo. Hands down the nicest suit I have ever owned.

Ive had gericke jackets for several years and gone down twice on the street and it held up awsome. when it was time to get my first suit i also went with gericke in a 1 piece and cant complain at all, espically after 5 track crashes in it. no blown seams, has held up great. 3 get offs were above 50mph and i havnt had to do any repairs to it. its a great mid level suit i think. its held up better than my buddies Joe Rocket Speedmaster suit by far. i would tell anyone to try the suit for sure

i have one for about a year. its pretty cheaply made: the liner is coming apart in a few places, the armor is of questionable quality and slides around, but the leather stitching is holding up well, and leather is thick and pretty quality. I have one highside on it, and it held up well, no ripped seams, so its pretty crashworthy. its a nice suit for the price, but its no dainese or vanson

So today I bought a used Dainese 1 piece suit off a friend.
It weighs a ton and has has all the approved armour.
I paid 1/2 price of what it goes for new. It is in awesome shape and was
never crashed. Worst part is now I have to wait 4 months until the weather breaks.
