poor mans aerostich

Not sure if this is the right place but here goes, has anyone got or had experience with the tourismo suit by Giali?
I saw these at the ally pally bike show last year and thought they looked and felt good. They are about £400 so not cheap but maybe as good as aerostich.
They are on www.giali.co.uk if you want to look.
Am looking to buy new kit and really like the aerostich stuff but am not sure about going totally textile what do you think?

If you are talking about quality of material and finish than I think you are comparing apples with oranges.

IMHO the Giali suit is a piece of shit. For two reasons, I have seen a used one about the same age as an aerostitch I had at the time. It was already broken and leaks. Second, I really have not much respect for people/companies that make "copycat" goods.

£400 is bloody expensive for a piece of shit.

This is why I asked your opinions, I haven't had the oppertunity to try either suit but heard a lot about aerostich and nothing about the tourismo and now I no why!!
I'm not sure about going fully textile, I know there not as protective as leather but must be up there close.
