    Perforated Leathers?

    I'm thinking about a 1 piece suit mainly track use. Mostly at NHIS, but I hope to make it around to a few other tracks in coming years, so possibly limited use in warmer areas.

    One of the options is venilation and I was curious what other people had or wish they had or didn't have....

    I wear a crusty old set of Vanson perf's and they work decent. The only problem with them is that they are black, which cooks you when your not moving during warm temps.

    I work too hard while on the track in competition for it to ever be an issue;

    I got a lot slower than these guys around the track so its much more likely that I would be getting hotter than any of them. Pref leathers are the way to go dude! Even the dumb bitches at vanson told you this when we went down there. You can put layers on to warm up at the track but you can cut holes in your leathers once they are made. Get the prefs.

    But now that I think about it, I remember her mentioning that.

    Actually, I'm going to go with SYED. As I understand it people are very happy with the quality and my experience with the customer service has been very good compared to the problems I had with my vanson jacket.

    I'm pretty sure the owner of SYED was one of the head manufacturing/production guys at vanson before he opened up shop himself - at least I've been told that.
