    Which one should I get?

    I need a new Leather Jacket. I figure I can get a 2 piece suit for not much more.

    $500 I can get either of these...


    Octane on the left (the 2 piece not the pic) or the SG-1 on the right (in Red).

    I got the octane last year, used it for a trackday in Sept and for 3 races yesterday. Seems like a great suit for the $, although fortunately I have not crash tested it yet..

    Re: Which one should I get?

    Ok so anyone with a 2 piece think the jacket is too short in the back when worn alone? Should I just get a jacket and some pants that zip in with the 1/2 zip and not the full circumference?

    The 2 piece? How is it when you just wear the jacket? Too short?

    I have the 2 piece SG-1 and the jacket is a little too small when worn alone. I just pull my pants up a little to compensate haha.
