    yes, it is a two piece

    she will be home from work soon so she'll be able to elaborate more if she needs more information.

    Re: custom suits for tiny people?

    what kind of back protector is she wearing? It's pretty critical its the right size, if it's too big pushing the back of the helmet is a pretty common problem. Depending on what style jacket/suit, and if it's too big as well, that would just compound the problem. What size Dainese is she wearing? I've got a size 40 and it fits like a glove, I'm around a size 2.

    I do not know the brand of protector but it is custom made and it has a front protector as well.

    How high in the back do back protectors usual go?

    Right now it is right at the top of the Dainese logo on the back of her jacket (right at the top of the shoulderblades).

    normally I deal with it on the casual rides. Not being able to look up the right way in Loudons bowl is freaky.

    that is all.

    Vicki,

    I have an older Teknic that is a (small) 42 US. It is very snug on me and bordering uncomfortable as a result. I can swing it your way if you'd like to try it on.

    I'm heading down to Pelham in a few. I'll bring it with me and PM you my number.

    My son has an Alpinestars youth XL suit you could borrow. check the sizing on the A* website and if it fits, we can work out getting it to you.

    I have trouble seeing up through the bowl also, but its a product of my helmet being right on my brow and the nature of the turn plus good body position.

    and here I thought I made bikes look big.

    you could try having Roberto in Fall River alter your suit to fit better. That's what Jimmy did with his and it came out nice.
