Teknic Chicane 1 Piece Suit?

[Dieseldan]

Need a suit for trackdays and maybe to use on the street on a "spirited" ride. Dont know how much I will be using the suit so with that being said looking to spend around 500 or so. This suit is 300 shipped and IMO it is a great deal.

What do you guys think of this suit?

I have one. Got it from motorcyclecloseouts.com for $309, shipped. Probably the same place you're thinking of getting it.

I'm a hard person to fit, since I have a long torso and the suit fits great. I've only worn it one time on a longer distance slab ride to the races, but it felt good. It broke in nicely.

I say go for it.

I have a pair of Teknic Chicane boots. ~3 months of street riding and two track days and they fell apart both inside and out. Never been down. I'd be hesitant to trust their suits. That being said, I'm also looking for a suit. I was hoping to get some feedback on Spartan suits as a few people on here have been racing in them this season. Pricepoint is about the same but they're tailored to your measurements.

Alex (Punjistick) has been down on his at Loudon and it fared very well. Boots are not leathers. They might be made in two entirely different places.

Yup I tested it it out in Turn 3. Slid for a bit and then rolled over and slid a bit more on the other side. The plastic logo on the side of the leg got shredded but non of the stiching came apart and I was fine. No scratches or rash under the suit. I got mine from NewEnough and they had some suits on closeout that were sewn incorrectly. My suit is a bit tight on my thighs but the more I wear it the more it breaks in.
