    Looking for a suit

    I am in the market for a 1 piece suit because Im gonna start doing some trackdays here in Texas and possibly Alabama...No shops around here carry suits so I will have to order it online so im trying to get an idea of what size i'll need. I am 6'1 215 lbs. Any help would be great. Thanks

    ive been searching too, every brand is a little different, if you go to kneedraggers.com, you can see the different suits and they have size charts available for most if not all. They just dont always have the best prices.

    Check out newenough.com. They usually have some good gear at good prices. It sounds like you are a 48 or 50 american size 58 or 60 euro.

    Depending on your size, you may be able to pick up a brandy-new-one-but-worn-around-the-house-and-to-Home-Depot-once from Wfd38383. He may be in the market for a new one or in the process of returning it as we speak.

    I'm 6' 200 lbs, and have a Moto GP 1pc kangaroo size 46, and a 2pc Spidi size 54. Don't know if that helps.

    Re: Looking for a suit

    To get a feel for sizing, check out www.sportbiketrackgear.com, they have some good deals on 07 suits, and Brian Van is about your size (a bit smaller?) he does video reviews on pretty much everything they have in stock-which is great for trying to figure out what fit you want/are looking for...I just got the A* MX-1 size 44. Im 5'11" 180, athletic build, and its tight on my wide shoulders, but a good solid fit...good luck!

    I wouldn't buy a friggin valve stem cap from that place. Customer service & shipping time sucks. They don't even bother to tell you when something is back-ordered. They just don't send it out.

    I posted my story on another forum & a ton of other people chimed in & posted very similar stories.


    Check the WERA forum, there's usually a lot of good deals there on used leathers. 13x Forums - Powered by vBulletin
