i am no pro, nor do i work for any companies that represent or independently test leather suits or other motorcycle gear. i am just one man giving my opinions on this one piece suit. this is my first suit and i went solely based on the reviews of my peers as to the quality of this suit. other reviews can be found on sportbiketrackgear.coms website. heres the suit laying on my floor. it is enjoying having its picture taken as you can tell: here is the back protector. i was not going to take the whole thing out just to take a picture but i can tell you this thing is one sturdy piece of something. it kinda feels like it forms to your body but yet is firm and im pretty sure it will help me to not become a vegetable in the even of a get off (not that kind of get off you pervs!) heres a cool label displaying the type of armour used in this suit. it feels comfy and im sure i could wear this armour in the event of a nuclear war elastic leg and elastic crotch part (doesnt help too much with the camel toe) now heres me in the suit. im 6'0" around 185-190#. i am not a model (as you can tell) all in all the suit seems well built and the seams are tight. this thing weighs a ton but i feel pretty comfortable with this thing on and it feels like im really protected. any other questions or comments please direct to my secretary brennan j/k
