If they offered Short Regular and Tall sizes for starters.. I would send off to Pakistan for a custom made but I don't think they use the stretchy material like Alpine Star and many others do ..

[@sportbiketrackgear]

A few of the brands have experimented with different lengths over the years and the sales volume of the short and tall suits just did not support the cost to do so. That said all of the suits offer a little different fit and we are able to get most riders into a good fitting suit. Worst case scenario is have some minor alterations made to an off the rack suit. - Van

I'm having huge issue finding a suit that fits me race fit without danger of being contricted to death. I wore a A* 40/50 but gained weight (belly) so had to get rid of it. I have a Berik that is size 54 but is little too big for me (more of a comfort fit I guess it would be). I could probably have custom suit made but it just costs too much. Im currently on a diet but I'm 5"10 192 lbs, belly/waist is 103cm (around 40). My goal is to fit back into 42/52.

Both are safe IMO. Myself I prefer the "Race Fit" and do not mind breaking the suit in. If you intend to use additional armor or thicker, more protective armor "Comfort Fit" is the way to go. I would also say that is safer as you have added the layers of protection. If you do not intend to use slimmer armor or just a back protector then the "Race Fit" is the way to go. - Van

Awesome vid mate, currently trying a new suit, but being 6'3 and 13 stonne (UK weight sorry don't know in lbs) I'm finding my 56" a little tight around the crown jewels area, im on the verge of sending it back and trying a 58" I know it will stretch a little but there ain't much room for chest/back protection. Do you think a 58 euro would work or will it be to baggy around the arms and legs? Or am I that in between size and need a custom fit? Thanks Van, keep the informative vids coming, they are a very useful tool.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

You need to sit on the bike when you try it on as it is designed to be worn on the bike an not while standing. Make sure to wear all of the same protection under it you would when riding as well. At 182 lbs and 6' 3" I think a 58 would be too large in most of the suits we offer here at STG. - Van

Hey Brian, got some questions.I want to buy the Laguna Seca 4 Race 1-piece suit, it's going to be my first race suit so I don't have any experience, I've checked the size chart on Dainese's website and all my measurements indicate I'm a size 58, except for the inseam which for a size 58 is 86-87cm (33.85-34.25 inches) while my inseam measurement is 80cm (31.49 inches) so a 6-7cm (2.36-2.76 inch) difference. Would this be a deal breaker in your opinion? Would there be too much excess material just hanging around in the pants area or would it disappear once I get in the tuck position? Would the pants being too long affect the way the knee protectors would sit on the knees? Or can they be moved by hand in order for them to sit dirrectly on the knees? Thanks alot!
