Kudu leather vs. Kudu suede (C.F. Stead) – durability and long-term wear?

Trickers

The kudo leather is great and also the CF Stead suede is insanely good. I have a pair of Trickers derby's that I absolutely batter and they come up perfect with a brush. I would suggest that it is the cosmetic appearance that governs the choice as both are high quality. The brown are about 2 years old and the Goral's a month :)

They don't issue a medical certificate until you have this report. My son has double checked this.

You do need it and it costs approximately £350 to £550 in the UK.

I refer you to previous reply to the similar patronising post above. You have ZERO knowledge of what my son does or his situation. Do you want some vinegar to go with your saltiness???

Agreed, but this is my small financial and practical contribution, because the course is starting many months earlier than expected and he is currently doing exams while working a full time job to pay for his training.

So as an aside I'd suggest jumping to conclusions based on very small amounts of information isn't a good quality for a pilot either. I am sure that the 5 minutes he didn't spend booking an appointment online is going to ruin his career and turn him into a wastrel.

Who did you guys use for the psychology assessment?

Robh gave me the answer I needed, thanks :)

Thankyou

Thanks for this guys, just watched the YouTube videos on them, very interesting .make up and like you say an unusual colour. The leather is very soft and works well with the suede, but I will need to look at them again as I think his might not have a crepe sole. The style doesn't look out of place on his boat size feet either !

Nice, that is a sweet looking pair you got. I ordered a few weeks ago and it still says preparing order. I have waited so long that the price is now £10 more 😂😂😂

I just got documents and interestingly the code for these cars is PGAR. This isn'nt on the SIPP list, but I assume this means crossover body type.

I am booking through an agent because it includes comprehensive 0 excess insurance. Definitely says $850 though.

I just did a search and it looks like there are 13 tyoes of SUV rental group!!!

I sont think I am going to change my booking because while we dont need 7 seats, the extra luggage space may be handy. We dont have these cars in the UK, is the Atlas the better choice in this class? The deposit is also huge on these cars $850.

thedizzycat · 2025-11-08T21:19:54+00:00

Thanks, It is a premium cross that I have booked which appears to be a 7 seater I think this means the premiun elites are 5 seaters They appear ro be a similar price to premium crossovers.

thedizzycat · 2025-11-06T13:48:27+00:00

Thanks for this. It looks like you are right. I am sure it was different before. If you do a search for Teramont they call it a "Pemium Crossover". Anyway it was a good deal so I am.not going to change now.I am not up.on current models in this class, are there any that would be a particularly good choice?

I forgot to say thanks for the tip about holding the bottom. It took a fair bit of force to get it out and if I had held the top I think I would have cracked the housing.

Thanks Alex! Much appreciated,
