Leather Lavers

Post by Guest_1 »

I've had a pair of leather lavers given to me as a gift for a couple months now.

I really like them. They're like G-units, but less bulky. The walls feel a little higher/stiffer-but they're brand new.

No break in time either, and pretty easy to mod.

If anyone wants to consider leather lavers, I reccomend them!

Does anyone know the weight difference in leather Lavers as opposed to mesh Lavers of the same size? (Both size 10, for example.) I would assume that the leather version weighs slightly more, but I'm not sure.

Also, how does the breathe-ability of the materials compare? I realize that after modding, you'll end up with a similar surface to post-modded mesh Lavers anyway, but the rest of the leather seems as if it would be a bit stuffy/bulky.

I've never tried them or seen them tried so I was wondering how they compare.

I have Leather and Mesh Lavers, they both work fine.

I can't directly compare weights, since my Leather's have a lot more mods done to them, but I can play in both of them equally.

All you need to know is that they don't weight as heavy as skate shoes or work boots. That's all.

i played in 4 pairs of mesh lavers and 1 pair of leather lavers over the span of a couple years, and i played the best by far in the leather lavers. they were the easiest to mod as well.
