I've been meaning to get a new set of leathers, but I've been holding out for a custom suit. My body shape isn't ideal for an off the rack suit. Lots of weight lifting means that if I buy one that fits my chest and shoulders, the waist is to big. But,I had been looking at this one for a while and it just went on clearance. For that price, I'll deal with the baggy waist. drag suit I figure there's not much knee dragging going on around here,a drag suit should be perfect.

Good choice. I don't think it will be easy to find a suit that fits like a glove unless you go with a two piece and those are really not the best for safety. I saw what guys wore at the track and most of it looked pretty floppy when off the bike. Saggy ass and baggy waist. I see leather flapping in the wind in Isle of Man slow-mos. I've tried going for race tight and IMO, the extra length in the knees, butt and waist is so much better for moving around on the bike. If you want to look good, go with a 2 piece, but for serious riding, a one piece that you can move in is the way to go. Motorcycle leather really does not stretch much even if it's tight. What parts are going to change shape on most of us when we loose or gain weight? Gut and butt. If leathers are tight/short when you stand up they will be way too tight/short when you sit on a sportbike. Definitely need plenty of length in the legs.

I bought a suit custom made in Pakistan. I worked with these guys and the suit is awesome. I am a big guy and could not buy off the shelf. I let them know all my dimensions and 3 weeks later I received it in the mail.I highly recommend sending these guys a email and inquire. Did I mention this suit is awesome.... and reasonably priced.
