AGV vs Teknic suits

[F4Iguy]

after borrowing a suit for my first track day, (and like most others, becoming hooked on the track, and the suit), i've decided to buy my own. i've decided that the 2 piece would be a smarter choice. i'm also hoping to find something that won't break the bank. AGV and Teknic both seem to have good suits that fit my price range, has anybody worn these, and can tell me about them? or suggest others? thanks.

I started with a cheap Teknic. Too soft and the armor sucked.

My advice... Go to Wera.com and buy a used suit for cheap!

ok, so today i was told that chicanes wear "like a wet diaper". anybody know anything about fieldsheer, which is another that was recommended? the 2 piece "radar" looks nice, but again, i don't know much. (yet)

i run a technic suit.....i like it....i crashed like 10 times in my previous technic suit and it held up great (def got my money's worth out of it)

i have a low end agv and have seen/tried on the low end teknics

go with teknics if you're staying on the cheap end of things

If Tecknic, go for the mid/high end stuff. The lightening (I think) has done me well.

Heard great things about Fieldsheer...A* is a great choice if you can swing it...the Octane, SG-1, or Stage are all good suits.
Def. Check out the WERA boards though...awesome stuff for sale. It takes awhile to get registered though.

I have a two peice teknic never been down on it but I like it gets me down the 1/4 track at the speed I like..

I love my Fieldsheer two piece (Revo). I got it from motoxoutlet.com for around $320 shipped.

I haven't crashed in it, and I hope I never will have to. Based on how it has held up to normal riding I'm confident it will be fine.

I have AGV gamma jacket and bought AGV sportrider pants that zip up to the jacket making it 2 piece suit. It all held up very nice in my 60-65 mph lowside. Leather did not rip anywhere and is really thick 1.5 mm I think. I just had the seams restitched in a couple spots and using it again.

+1....I have the Violator...and have 5 crashes and no reason to change. Also, I love the ceramic sliders that came with it...

I own and AGV 2 piece and am very happy with it. great construction for the price, but the back protector is crap. You will definately want a strap on back protector.
