[@tuxediomafia]

I just came across this video, and I must pay you a compliment as you have done a stellar job of demsontrating the fit of a 1 piece. Being a track racer and owning 2 suits myself, (looking to get a new one) you show us everything we really need to watch out for, especially too small a suit. from year to year our bodies change in size so it doesnt hurt to have a couple of suits. I hope you do another video like this for say 2024, perhaps pointing out some new features of different brands, pros and cons. Thank You

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Thank you for watching and for the kind words. We should do an updated video that covers some or airbag options for sure. - Van

Great video. Thanks. I think you just demonstrated that my 2-piece suit is too tight. I thought everyone feels like they were kicked in the nuts all the time. I've had the leathers for years, and they never felt even remotely broken in. Again, excellent demonstration.

[@pug-man6861]

A good friend of mine who’s an avid biker told me to go more comfort that sport, id seen multiple KZbin channels of guys shoehorning their way in to their leathers and they can barely move in them ! I’m usually a 40 but went to a 42 and what a difference it is. I don’t feel like I’m fighting the suit anymore ! I’m not a professional track racer so comfort all the way got me also makes bathroom breaks a hell of a lot easier too !!!

[@s1dew1nd3r4]

@@pug-man6861 agreed man, you also need to try on different brands for different sizes for instance in dainese im EU size 56 or 58 for comfort BUT in RST (a british brand) im an EU 60/62. The one piece skin underneath is so important too iv found! makes life so much easier!

[@bernhtp]

Great demo and explanation. For whatever reason, I have never been able to get it off as easily/quickly as you did.

[@jonasv19]

What do you want a suit for? Track riding or street riding? If it's for track riding, go ahead and buy one. It's worth the investment. If it's for street riding, reconsider if you really need one. Suits get very hot and aren't that comfortable to walk around in. Do you really need a race suit for street riding? Look at a separate vest and pants instead that can connect with a zipper.

[@aiya1816]

jonasv19 I have ridden 1 peace suits and 2 peace suits that connect with a zipper on the street, during riding holidays in the summer and on track. I do not see any benefit in a 2 peace suit anymore. If you want the best protection get a perforated 1 peace suit. If its to cold and you want to ride anyways, you can always wear warmer underwear and/or a large hoody over the suit. Want more comfort, get kangaroo. Want even more comfort, get it tailored. If you are willing to sacrifice safety for comfort, get textile. New versions of the suits from all the brands come out frequently and you can usually get a good discount on the "old" version. So look out for that if money plays a big role in your decision process. The improvements are often not substantial.

[@salahad-din4114]

I ride a gsxr or my R1, I grew up with my dad and bikes always about. The best advice he ever gave me was. " A decent helmet and decent kit is very high for it all. You have one head and one body. You buy cheap shit or second hand and it fails you could be dead!!. Always pay the most you can save, even more than your bike, your bike you can replace, your body and head you can't. The money these cost is nothing compared to your life and what you leave behind" Best advise I have ever had. A friend died after buying a shit and cheap helmet. I'm still here.

I didn’t really pay attention about protection until I broke my leg following a small high side in November. Don’t get we wrong though I always wear protective gear (at 56 I learned the hard way their use when I was younger 😂)As my dainese fancy suit didn’t prevent the damage I started to read a lot. Your site gives so much practical and useful info I’m really grateful.

Just bought the A-stars Missile. The sizing chart puts me at 52 in most measurements. Feels like once stretched and broken in, will fit perfect. Wife laughs cuz I've been wearing it around the house.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

We recommend wearing it around the house before you take it out for a ride to make sure you are happy with the fit. The best way to determine whether it will work out or not is to have someone hold your bike and get on it while wearing the suit. - Van

[@itsmeericb]

How tall are you and what’s your weight? Not sure if I should get a 52 or 54. I’m 6’1 175lbs and the 52 was tight but felt right in the riding position. The 54 I had a really saggy butt area.

Just got myself a shiny new RPHA Helmet and a one piece is definitely next on the list. I'm 100% sure I'll have sizing issues because I am 6'3", 170lbs and I already have a really hard time finding an overall that's not too short shoulder to crotch. That said I like a tighter fit, which is one (of many, quality feel being the biggest) reason I've picked it over the Nexx XR2 for example which was pretty sloppy in XL.

[@jymebale5545]

I don't blame you at all for the tight fit, I am cold natured and when the weather gets the slightest bit cooler down here in south Tx like it is now I don't own a leather suit and would not wear one but I do put on my leather jacket and will soo need pants too, I would rather sweat a bit than feel coolish at all riding, I have a 2009 BMW 1200RT love it, people love looking at the bike, it's black and light grey, the black is really a dark grey very fine metal flake and it runs like a bat out of hell. Get a tight fitting suit if your headed for the track, you won't be sorry.

i have got exactly same though. when you put that fancy AS suit I think it is really too big, like one size. when you wear "too small" I got feeling like - its ok, it will brake after few hours - thats what sellers tell me, when I try Ixon Mirage 54 EU (now wearing 2pc AS 54EU). I was trying SPIDI 54... can't put in on by myself, 56 was way too big. I'm on market for new one, and have to buy something until 14 may... Ixon Pulsar 54 - no problem on and off, but I got feeling like there is no space when I was in full tuck position.... but sellers says.. it will brake, you will see ;) what to do?

Van, I wish you told us the sizes in the video... I just got my first suit today! Going to the track next weekend!! I'm really a size 44 euro and I ended up getting a size 46 which is just the next size up.. My question is. Generally speaking: is 1 size up going to make a significant difference? I would consider my suit (size 46, to be a comfortable fit vs. Race fit) I suppose that takes me to another question. Is it okay to track a "comfortable fit" suit? Perhaps you wouldn't suggest it but surely there are many people that do it. Thanks! I love what your doing within the sportbike market. Fantastic job!

I have too big and riding with it bcs I'm short and its hard to find sth good, but its good if its comfortable too for me..I have all the protectors in place because I have developed shoulders, so the one-piece suit pulls on the protectors, the same on my arms, thighs too, legs even enough - they support the shoes a little in place of the protectors, but the leather stays in place because of my thick calves - only the knee is loose. ...the size is too big, you can only see it because the suit is wrinkled when I stand, but I am very comfortable in it and as a one-piece I use it for routes :D

Good video Brian. Very well explained. What kind of suit would you recommend for a non-track use and a non-sport position? A two pieces suit or textile?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Textile wears lighter and will protect the rider pretty well in a single crash. With leather is wears a little heavier as expected but has the potential to offer a higher level of protection and multiple crashes. In the end only the rider can choose the direction that makes the most sense for them. - Van

Now a tutorial to get OUT of the suit haha, sometimes it gives me terrible cramps in my feet and shoulders. When i have the choice (@home...) i peel it off lying on the couch of bed.

[@Ro6entX]

Actually funny I got this video on recommendation because while getting another suit is on hold until later in year (my current one is a replica and i lost faith in its crash integrity), i was just thinking about looking at suits. I do like race fit but two factors really stop me from using it; bad left shoulder and my right knee gets rubbed raw something horrible just after hour of wearing so I go for comfort fit (knee gets rubbed but not as bad) which works better for me. I am considering perhaps trying my luck with a kangaroo leather this time.

My suit fits fine but when I fold my hands it feels like really tight and it’s blocking my blood stream. Is that normal ?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

If it is cutting off blood flow then it does not fit. - Van

[@nikoladjurovic2216]

Best reagards! Could you let us know your height and weight? Thanks for great vids! And whats the size of the first suit you weared :D

[@dannyny9325]

i like that back protector can i ask you name and model of that back protector please?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

That is a super old Astars model that was discontinued a long time ago. Their latest catalog of back protectors is a huge step forward from this one. Here is a link to them on our site: www.sportbiketrackgear.com/alpinestars-body-armor-protection/?_bc_fsnf=1&Product=Back+Protector - Van

The squeaks from the small suit was hilarious

[@sportbiketrackgear]

It was pretty tight. - Van

[@smurik1]

Man this suit fits you like a glove. I never found a suit for me. I am 6.1 and 177 lbs . Could you please tell me what is the proper size for me. Thanks

[@sportbiketrackgear]

I would suggest a size 54 in most suits. For more specific sizing info shoot us an email to [e-mail] - Van

[@smurik1]

Thank you so much

Oh man I'm dealing with long legs and trying to find female leather trousers/pants that cater to long legs is atrocious. But the whole 'it restricts your movement' is something I've experienced a lot. Tip to all other people with long legs: do not settle for regular legs. It absolutely impacts your riding negatively.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

In your case you will need to go to a shop that has items in stock for you to try on. We do not do a lot of ladies gear so we do not stock much. - Van

[@marcoleon8515]

You kind of showed it when you were putting on your boots. I'm wondering where should I expect the pant leg to end (talking about the cuff) when a suit/leather pants fit correctly? Especially when I am on the bike in a normal riding position. Thanks!

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Every suit will be a little different and we are all shaped uniquely. As long as the boots overlap with the leg of the suit a reasonable amount you are good to go. What you want to avoid is having the leg too long extending over the ankle, this will make it bulky in the ankle area making it harder to shift etc... - Van

Hi, i am 5'11'' 195lbs, i ususally wear a Dainese Size 54, it feels really comfortable in riding position with all the protectors. I started losing weight and planning to lose about 10 pounds from now on. So, considering this and here in the comments said Dainese is more a "slimmer" type of suit and Alpinestars being more broader. Do you suggest to go down to size 52 for the GP Tech?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

I would suggest going with a size 56 Euro, same size I wear. Here is a link to this suit on our site, we have a video reviewing it with me wearing it: www.sportbiketrackgear.com/alpinestars-gp-tech-v2-leather-race-suit-tech-air-race-compatible/ www.sportbiketrackgear.com/motorcycle-race-suit-shopping-guide

[@FlipsmooveRR]

I’m looking at dainese suits, I’m 6’3 205 with like a 32 in seam with levis, what size should I look for if I plan to use the inside boot?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

You should look at the 56 and 58 Euro sizes. The 56 will be a tighter race style fit with the 58 offering a little more operating room. The in boots do not have any affect on fit. - Van

[@CitrusElmo]

I’m 6’1 215lbs. Would an extra large be good for me? I know large is probably going to feel pretty tight

[@sportbiketrackgear]

All the suits can run a little different. Please shoot the team a call or an email and they will get you sorted out. [e-mail] or 888.784.4327 - Van

That is a nice suit... looks better when you see it on a person... 👌 sweeeet..... I was wondering with the air bag size wise .. I am 6'4 and 210lbs 34inc waist and 114 cm chest.. my dainese were 58eu so guessing with alpinestar 58 but with tec air bag EU 60 perhaps??.. Would love your feedback please

[@sportbiketrackgear]

You should be able to wear an XL Tech Air Race Airbag with a size 56 Euro or 58 Euro in most of the current Astars race suits. - Van

[@smokey9063]

@@sportbiketrackgear do you know if they are releasing any new suits for 2021.. so incase I'd hold off for now. Thanks again .. subscribed 👍

[@brijender.s.rathore]

Your videos are very informative, great work. I have a quick question. If I compare a 54 euro and 56 euro Dainese Laguna seca 4. Would the arm circumference be different ?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

For sure the arm circumference would be a little larger. Not a massive amount but proportionate. - Van

[@Soldier4USA2005]

This video is great!!! I've been looking to get a 1-piece because I've been in enough crashes to now know that jeans just don't cut it. I haven't had road rash to the point of skin grafs, but enough little bits of impacts to know they're just no good enough at freeway speeds. My problem, however, is I'm over weight for my height. I'm 5'8" @ 225lbs. I've tried on a 1 piece, but I couldn't get it to zip. Some of that was from not wearing an undersuit to get it on. But the big part was my gut. And since the suit sizes don't have correlating measurements on the person to compare with, I don't know what the proper suit size should be. If I can even get into one that's "off the shelf" and not a custom fit. Any ideas???
