Moto-Brian Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 (edited) TENTATIVELY SOLD!!! Alright guys, buddy got this suit and thought he could be as cool as me and get the white. Problem is he's faster than me and I don't need a faster than me buddy looking as good as me doing it.Just kidding. All joking aside, he doesn't like the white and wants the black. I cannot return this suit so, I need to sell it.Here's what it is:2009 SHIFT Vertex Race Suit. WHITE - Men's size 42/52. -1.2-1.4mm Premium grain leather-Aggressive articulation for comfort in the race position-Removable CE armor throughout-Schoeller stretch Kevlar panels-X Stretch crotch panel for unrestricted movement-2 layers of leather in key impact areas-Aero hump-Shoulder vents and exhaust ports for maximal cooling and air flow-Perforated front panels for cooling-Washable/removable mesh linerOverall, this is a great suit. SHIFT has made a lot of changes from the SR1 style suit to this one. They took a lot of our input and made the suit reflect what riders wanted. I can say that it is much more aggressive in terms of articulation than the SR1 was. I also think it fits much better and although it initially feels tighter, it is because a good suit needs to be tight and not baggy/loose. Comfort is when you are on the bike and as discussed before, standing up in this thing will make you squeal!Here's some stock pics: Edited April 3, 2009 by Desmo-Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comfort is when you are on the bike and as discussed before, standing up in this thing will make you squeal!Here's some stock pics:for those that have never tried on a 1 piece and think that getting a camel toe from the suit is unbearable, get used to it, as thats how a proper fitting suit will feel. when i first got my celtic suit, lizard confirmed this. i also spoke with sbtg and this is what they had to say:If a suit fits correctly, you will get camel toe – no exceptions. 1 pieces are not made to walk around in nor be comfortable when standing upright. They are made to be on the bike in riding / racing position. If a suit fits right standing up – you have camel toe. Just how it goes. Only way to get around this is buy a suit that is too big for you, but then it will not protect correctly or buy a two piece. I recommend neither.so dont be turned off by a suit if its not exactly the most comfortable thing in the world when standing up, it wasnt made for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moto-Brian Posted January 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Actually, SHIFT addresses the Camel toe and has Schoeller stretch material in the crotch. It's AMAZING compared to normal suits and even last year's suit...Me love standing now!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbot Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 maaaaaaaaaaaani could've bought this suit instead of the one I got, and not have a bisected wang everytime i stand up straight.oh well, timing is everything i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
