    Question Leathers..1 piecec, or 2?

    Gotta be a popular subject and may already have been posted. But I'm shopping for a leather suit. Not sure if I want a 1 piece or a 2 piece. Looking at spending under $1000.00. I need something that will work well for the street as well as the occasional Trackday. Size is going to a problem for me I think. At 5'7" , 130#'s with a 29" waist, I have trouble finding a dress suit, never mind a leather racing suit. Mail order catalogs charge a 20% restocking fee that I'd like to avoid....
    Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated....

    I have an old two peice zip together suit that is in perfect condition. It should fit you if you want to consider used.

    Go to www.motorace.com

    We have a bunch of NEW Dainese suits. A $1300.00 suit is now going for about $800.00.

    If the majority of use is for the street, go with a two piece. It'll still be good enough for the occasional track day too. I have a two piece Vanson that held up incredibly well in a horrific street accident. Saved my arse...
