    Just blew my load

    So i got my suit back from Vansons last week. After my crash it needed a small repair and the wrist and leg zippers were not working properly. I tried it on and it still fits but it has certainly seen better days. I guess thats what happens with it goes from English to Irish. For those that dont remember or never seen it...



    After trying it on and feeling like its had better days I made the trip back down to Vansons today. I got measured up gave them 1/2 down and walked out a future owner of a custom suit made for me We decided on a color design but its not finalized yet. I might put in a few changes this coming week and then let them have at it. Right now scheduled delivery is one week before the first race weekend

    If anyone is thinking of getting something new the time is now and the prices are pretty good especially with the 250 in savings they are offering.

    I hope you talked to Kevin. You should have gone to the open house.

    Do you get fitted with your back and chest protectors on?

    That's the only thing about my suit, it's snug with my back protector, and I want to add a chest protector but am afraid it will make the whole getup too constricting.

    Vansons comes with the back protector built in. Im sure if I wanted to add a chest protector in the future I could squeeze it in with me

    will they continually custom fit the suit as age and weight increase?

    I wouldnt count on it but what other company will alter their suit for you as you gain weight?

    It's all water under the bridge, and we do enter the next round-robin. Am I wrong?

    Re: Just blew my load

    I'm waiting for my new Dainese. Seacoast Ducati had a 25% coupon around Christmas so my $1,600 suit only cost around $1,200.
    Should be here from Italy in a few weeks now. I can't wait. My Alpine has been great but it has seen its last days now.

    I would have gone with an off the rack suit to save a few bucks if a company actually made one that fit me. The ones I tried on at vanson I needed a 48 to get my legs in to not walk around like Frankenstein but when I was measured up my chest measures at 41
