MidgetTodd Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 I need a smaller suit. I've not done track days or raced for a couple seasons and I've lost a bunch of weight since so I need a smaller suit. I have a black 48 M2R 2 piece. It's been down a couple times but still in great shape and passes tech. Comes with pucks but they are worn. Have maybe 2 or 3 good track days left in them. I need prob a 42 but that's a guess. Anyone want to trade, buy or sell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 A 42 is pretty small Todd. If I had to guess, you probably need a 44-46. Your close proximity to the ground will be your real problem but nothing that Barnacle Bill couldn't fix for you. Might be worthwhile to post up on some of the racing boards as well.

MidgetTodd Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Yep it was just a guess by the sizing charts. I'm 5'7 180 now planning on going to 170. I put it on OMRL already and was going to put it on Junkies and WERA later today. Like to get to Pony and try a few on maybe tomorrow before the track. I'm still using the 48 but it's just too big to do its job in a bad crash and if I don't shift the puck in the straights I end up dragging the knee instead of the puck. Not bad to do in practice but I don't want to fuck with it in the race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 That's how Chuck and I got together weekend before last. I came off throttle to move the right puck when he was setting up a pass. Don't want that on race day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue03636 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 I'm 5'9" and at 185 with back and chest protector a 44 just fit with zero room for me to get fatter just for reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Another think to keep in mind Todd is that not all suits are cut the same. All A-stars run tight so a 44 might be more like a 42 in another brand. So as Craig said he's in a 44 (Geriki) given his dimensions it won't be the same for other brands. I think you have the right idea to head up to Pony and try some one. I know the last time I was there they don't have nearly the selection they used to have. They might of had like maybe 3 good named brands or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Yep that's what makes it hard to order one is they never fit the same. That's why I was hoping to find one local. I wear a back protector but not chest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood33 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 I have a feeling you're probably in 44 territory in an Astars suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Well who's got one they wanna part with??? Better yet which one of you ate too many of Craig's cookies and just need trade for the 48 I have. We know Craig's cookies bring all the boys to the yard and those big MM cookies at MidO don't help either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
