Best advice about 2 piece suits is to get a 1 piece.. Nuff said.

[Hoblick]

make sure you get the right size..

and 1 piece > 2 piece

[MidgetTodd]

The right size is the one that you think is a touch too small. You dont want to be able to have unrestricted bend all over the place movement in it.

2 piece is your best purchase bikerboy. You also can take your jacket off and look normal/casual in public. I love mine. You can get a new JR GPX-Type R suit for $495 last I looked.

i was told that dainese leather is good suit, but it's darng expinsive on ebay , any other brand you guys would advice ? Or any place to buy them cheaper than 1100 dollars ?

why is 1 peice better than 2 peices suit ?

I was thinking about a 2 peice so i can wear the jackit on commutes and the full suit if i am going riding with other " maybe hit twisties again with a great grp ride like ninjanick ride the other day " .

I don't think i'd do tracks if that what you guys thought

Thanks again for sparing time to read and advice me on this one .

[BikerBoy]

Gay, unless you only ride track and are there every week.

2 piece is your best purchase bikerboy.

I went to iron pony and bought the agv sport 2 piece suit. I like it a lot it was 350. It's no daneise but it is great for the price. I even tested mine out at gingerman when I went down. It held up great and I wasn't injured at all.

If you don't have any leathers at all right now I'd just buy a 1 piece suit and then another leather jacket for commuting. I'm torn between buying leather pants right now and buying 1 piece.

[NinjaNick]

2 piece comes with leather pants man with a 360degree zipper that connects the pant and jacket. 1 piece are for racers and useless for street riding and occasional track days if you even go. They're not user friendly while out in public like a 2piece suit is.

I agree. I haven't found a down side to my two piece suit for the street or the track. Although I've only been to the track once so there may be a down side that I'm not aware of.

From experience, I've found that chicks dig the conformity of the 1-piece suit.

[Samizzle]

I've been told not to buy a 2-piece suit just so you can wear the jacket without the pants. The Jacket length is way to short to wear by itself, it looks a little ridiculous. You should go try some on before you buy any.

[NinjaNick]

Weird, my 2 piece jacket isn't. It goes to my waist just fine. I'm not going by what I was told though, more from what I know from owning mine. ;) He's buying a 2pc anyway from the title of this thread and the PM he sent me.

a* makes quality gear, but so does damn near everyone else. if you're buying leather you're most likely reasonably protected so just buy what you like, what you can afford, and what is most comfortable

Yep , a 2 pieces it is .

i am mainly wondering how big does 1.2-1.4 mm leather suit is from 1.3-1.5 mm and 1.4-1.6 .

I really like teh dainesee desgines specially with thing on the back , does that help ?

a lot of the suits " except dainesee " says that there is pockket in the back for a CEO back protectores, does this mean they don't come with one ?

what is CEO anyway ?

Thanks

My A* is a 1.2-1.4mm and it held up just fine when I went down. You really wouldn't even know by looking at it I slid on my stomach the entire time. I wouldn't have any concerns.
