Hideout & Touring
Hideout’s Touring range is great for all-day wear. Ideal for those not wanting the power-ranger look it has a simple classic design, available in a range of colours. This range has been adapted for and endorsed by motorcycle police officers who use both our leathers and textiles for 10-hour shifts, all day every day. This range is comfortable, long-lasting, and protective. All garments comply with the High-Performance CE Level 2 EN13595 which is 70% higher than the AAA rating. This range is hard wearing for customers doing high mileage.
I just wanted to say a BIG thank you for a fantastic 'shopping experience' with you yesterday. All three of us came away feeling that we had been well looked after and correctly advised as to choice of clothing to suit our needs. We will not hesitate to inform and recommend 'Hideout' to our many rider friends. Many thanks again. Kathy, Ian and Simon. Hi Rachel and Katie - tron (THE gear changer)!!! 520 miles of squalls, your pro gear took some of the toughest weather Scotland dishes out. 65mph gusts, driving rain - no problem slips right on by. Shame about the BMW helmet (Helmus 600 Wetimus), its sulking now!! I love your gear.
I thought you might like to know that your bike suit got through its trials pretty well even in + 27c the back vent was a great discovery. This kit fits so well that it improves the aerodynamics by approximately 15%! No really! Better fuel economy, less twist on the wrist! The padding is so good that the usual discomfort in the derrier zone is reduced to NIL over 400 miles and only minor discomfort for 500 mile days. Is your gear good? No........ its Forking amazing! Is it double the price of BMW's tat? NO its about 50% more for 10 times the comfort, performance and the material strengths. It has turned me and the bike into a 'Transformer' 'BikerTron' The gear is weighty in a reassuring way, fits like a glove and gives a wonderful sense of safety and protection with built in real comfort. I love it, you are amazing people. Thank you very much.
Hideout Hi-Pro Bike magazine, May 2013 issue
Every autumn I swap my leathers for textiles and spend the gloomy months feeling a little vulnerable. Textile kit is comfy and warm and dry and practical, but I’ve never felt properly protected by soft fabrics. I’m sure it’s largely psychological, but can’t help it. Hideout’s Hi-Pro squares the job up nicely, however. It’s completely flexible and all-day comfortable, but has an inner ‘safety’ layer that gives the abrasion resistance of leather. Forcefield armour lives at the shoulders, elbows, back, hips and knees, and the fit is based on years of measuring Brits for made-to-measure clobber. I’ve tried umpteen big-brand alternatives over a dozen years as a full-time test rider, but have never felt so secure. It’s not Gore-Tex, but a clever membrane called C-Change is bonded to the outer layer and so rain just beads off. The Hi-pro doesn’t get waterlogged, dries quickly, and the membrane has pores that open or close to regulate temperature. I’m warm when it’s cold and comfortable when it’s hot. Zips are chunky and easy to use, double cuffs keep weather out, and it’s dotted with adjustment, waterproof pockets and reflective edges. I’d like the collar to be a tad higher, to help me keep snug. Otherwise it’s just about perfect, and has rapidly become my favourite and most trusted kit. Verdict It’s not cheap. But the Hi-Pro is robust, comfortable, British-made quality – I fully expect to be singing its praises in a decade’s time.

Chris Cope from RideApart here. I'm on a press ride with Harley-Davidson and crashed at 60 mph. Slid 200 feet and your gear literally saved my skin! Question now is: can my jacket be repaired?
it fits like a second skin already without breaking in,it's exactly what I wanted and the quality is fantastic both in the hide and the fittings - the leather,zips and buckles put mainline manufacturers to shame. Clever design on the padding and inner pockets too - Best jacket i've had and I started riding in 1978, - perfect!
I would like to express my utmost pleasure in the service provided by you. The quality of the suit and customer service is exceptional. It is nice to see a small company providing high quality products with one to one customer service from friendly, knowledgeable staff. You deserve every success and will get my recommendation and future business at every opportunity. I hope you can take pride and enjoyment from the fact that you have thoroughly impressed me.
1985 You made me a Made to Measure Suit, It was Mandarin Chinese Styling, at the time I was on holiday time, went on to become a Motorcycle courier for two & half years in London. On average used to get knocked off by blind car drivers about every 9 months. one accident on M23 70 M.P.H. but with the protection of the suit, never ever had to go in Ambulance the suit lasted well up to the millennium. I no longer motorcycling. Your suit then being a goatskin was cooler in the summer, as opposed to cowhide suits. Good to know you are still in business.
