If you know what fits, you can usually find some pretty nice deals on the WERA board. I got a pretty sick deal on a lightly used Dainese for like 350 shipped.

Advensport has a great entry level suit for $300 to $400 new that just about any motorcycle shop can order in for you. (Available as a one or two piece.) I've pounded the bejesus out of mine, and the thing has taken it like a champ. It won't win any beauty contests any more, but it also doesn't need to.

Now, that said, the armor/padding in it is lighter than more expensive suits, although they may have updated to CE grade since I got mine a few years ago. So if you're looking to road race, I'd consider a higher end suit. It has a back pad, but not a proper back protector, so I'd also invest in a separate back protector to wear under the suit.

EDIT: AGV not Advensport... dunno why after 5 years I still screw that up...

The are awesome at sizing. They have a Hien Garrick Tribal suit for like 400 That kicks Ass

I've had good luck with lower end tecknic suits. Definitely well tested, and never a problem. In most cases don't bother with a 2 piece. I tried that with my first suit and the jacket was so short its awkward to wear without the pants.

I just got a suit from Spartan Leathers (www.spartanleathers.com) and it's overall good quality. $550 for a custom fit suit.

What's your build? There tend to be some suits for sale for pretty short $ at the track. For new and fairly inexpensive, I couldn't tell ya. I've got a Vanson 1-piece, second hand, that's been crash tested to the moon and back. Still intact, still strong, still protected me nicely when I tested it, and I'm still using it. I don't see replacing it anytime soon.

i looking at these last night at work and i also heard through some other people that the jacket is most likely allways going to be to short without the pants .. i just figured i could get more use out of it wearing it on the street and track

I got a 2 piece Alpinestars MX-1 jacket and track pants. Not real cheap in price, but made very well.
Komodo makes sume really nice stuff too

[virtualbong]

I got a Alpinestars Stage 2-piece which costs me around $450 a couple years back. I wear my jacket without the pants and I don't mind it. Yes it sits above the waist but whatever. Don't feel like shelling out money for another jacket.

[breakdirt916]

check the clearance rack at the vanson outlet because sometimes you can get lucky

I found a 2-piece, brand new, that fit me perfectly (6'0, 138lbs) and only cost $266
