    5'8 180, A-star 42 is too tight! Trade??

    Hey guys,

    I ordered an A-star SG-1 2 piece suit, in 42 since I have a couple 42 Jackets. Well I guess the race suit fits a little tighter... 42 is TIGHT. I don't even think I should get a 44, a 46 may be in order. I got into it, but I had no place to put my anatomy, and it was pulled tight across my chest.

    So... anybody around my size have suggestions on an off-the-shelf size?


    On a side note, I can give a great deal on a brand new SG-1 suit if somebody can squeeze their scrawny ass into it.

    I am the same way, 5-7 170 lbs between a 42-44. end up with a 44 every time just for the extra comfort.

    make sure whatever you end up with, you have a complete range of motion while ont he bike.

    You should post up your dimensions and weight so people know what size the suit may fit better on.

    actually, aside from the pants, that looks like a good fit. Remember, they do break in quite a bit.

    I say they look anout right as well. Where are they tight? Maybe if you lost a little junk in the trunk they would fit better!

    Seriously I am 5'8"- 5'9" and about 195 and I fit great in a 46.

    I don't think that's too tight. When it breaks in, you'll probably be very pleased with it. When I first got mine I could hardly put it on, nevermind stand up in it! I absolutely love it now! Seriously, give it a shot!
