Hey guys, I'm incredibly psyched for my first track day at Palmer next month and trying to break in a new two-piece before I actually get to the track.
After a lot of thought I picked up a Joe Rocket Blaster X Two-Piece.
I'm 5' 10" 130lbs. so it was tough choosing a size but went with a 38.
Everything fits (snugly) except the thigh/crotch area could stand to be a few inches longer. When I plant my feet (sitting on the bike), the knee pads ride up a lot and when I lift my feet up again it's pretty awkward. Once I'm in riding position and get adjusted, it's snug but fits good and covers my knees in the right places (I think).
Don't think I could get away with a size 40+ it might fix the length issue but then the entire suit will be loose..
Anyway a couple questions:
1. Is it normal for the knee pads to move around when extending your legs vs. riding position? How do you deal with this?
2. Do your knee pads usually sit between the inside of the knee and the tank and if so by how much? It's pretty awkward getting used to that feeling.. I'm used to wearing jeans and being very intimate with the gas tank lol, now these pads are going to take some getting used to.
3. Where/who does excellent customization of suits, and do you think adding some length to the thighs is possible and not insanely expensive?
Thanks!
