    www.sportbiketrackgear.com/mo...
    One of the most frequent questions we get is "what size race suit should I get." The only real way to know what size race suit you should get is to try it on and see how it feels when you're on your bike. Watch as Van shows you how your suit should look and feel when you receive it from us. Don't be afraid to take pictures or video of what you look like in the suit, so you can see for yourself how it looks.

      What do you want a suit for? Track riding or street riding? If it's for track riding, go ahead and buy one. It's worth the investment. If it's for street riding, reconsider if you really need one. Suits get very hot and aren't that comfortable to walk around in. Do you really need a race suit for street riding? Look at a separate vest and pants instead that can connect with a zipper.

      jonasv19 I have ridden 1 peace suits and 2 peace suits that connect with a zipper on the street, during riding holidays in the summer and on track. I do not see any benefit in a 2 peace suit anymore. If you want the best protection get a perforated 1 peace suit. If its to cold and you want to ride anyways, you can always wear warmer underwear and/or a large hoody over the suit. Want more comfort, get kangaroo. Want even more comfort, get it tailored. If you are willing to sacrifice safety for comfort, get textile.
      New versions of the suits from all the brands come out frequently and you can usually get a good discount on the "old" version. So look out for that if money plays a big role in your decision process. The improvements are often not substantial.

      I ride a gsxr or my R1, I grew up with my dad and bikes always about.
      The best advice he ever gave me was.
      " A decent helmet and decent kit is very high for it all. You have one head and one body. You buy cheap shit or second hand and it fails you could be dead!!.
      Always pay the most you can save, even more than your bike, your bike you can replace, your body and head you can't. The money these cost is nothing compared to your life and what you leave behind"
      Best advise I have ever had. A friend died after buying a shit and cheap helmet. I'm still here.

    I just came across this video, and I must pay you a compliment as you have done a stellar job of demsontrating the fit of a 1 piece. Being a track racer and owning 2 suits myself, (looking to get a new one) you show us everything we really need to watch out for, especially too small a suit. from year to year our bodies change in size so it doesnt hurt to have a couple of suits. I hope you do another video like this for say 2024, perhaps pointing out some new features of different brands, pros and cons. Thank You

    Don’t get we wrong though I always wear protective gear (at 56 I learned the hard way their use when I was younger 😂)As my dainese fancy suit didn’t prevent the damage I started to read a lot.

I’m usually a 40 but went to a 42 and what a difference it is. I don’t feel like I’m fighting the suit anymore !

    Just got myself a shiny new RPHA Helmet and a one piece is definitely next on the list. I'm 100% sure I'll have sizing issues because I am 6'3", 170lbs and I already have a really hard time finding an overall that's not too short shoulder to crotch. That said I like a tighter fit, which is one (of many, quality feel being the biggest) reason I've picked it over the Nexx XR2 for example which was pretty sloppy in XL.

    • @jymebale5545
      @jymebale5545 5 років тому

      I don't blame you at all for the tight fit, I am cold natured and when the weather gets the slightest bit cooler down here in south Tx like it is now I don't own a leather suit and would not wear one but I do put on my leather jacket and will soo need pants too, I would rather sweat a bit than feel coolish at all riding, I have a 2009 BMW 1200RT love it, people love looking at the bike, it's black and light grey, the black is really a dark grey very fine metal flake and it runs like a bat out of hell. Get a tight fitting suit if your headed for the track, you won't be sorry.

    • @sportbiketrackgear
      @sportbiketrackgear  3 роки тому +1

      Textile wears lighter and will protect the rider pretty well in a single crash. With leather is wears a little heavier as expected but has the potential to offer a higher level of protection and multiple crashes. In the end only the rider can choose the direction that makes the most sense for them. - Van

    I've been looking to get a 1-piece because I've been in enough crashes to now know that jeans just don't cut it. I haven't had road rash to the point of skin grafs, but enough little bits of impacts to know they're just no good enough at freeway speeds.
    My problem, however, is I'm over weight for my height.
    I'm 5'8" @ 225lbs. I've tried on a 1 piece, but I couldn't get it to zip. Some of that was from not wearing an undersuit to get it on. But the big part was my gut. And since the suit sizes don't have correlating measurements on the person to compare with, I don't know what the proper suit size should be. If I can even get into one that's "off the shelf" and not a custom fit.
    Any ideas???

    I just got my first suit today! Going to the track next weekend!!
    I'm really a size 44 euro and I ended up getting a size 46 which is just the next size up..
    My question is. Generally speaking: is 1 size up going to make a significant difference?
    I would consider my suit (size 46, to be a comfortable fit vs. Race fit)
    I suppose that takes me to another question. Is it okay to track a "comfortable fit" suit? Perhaps you wouldn't suggest it but surely there are many people that do it.
    Thanks! I love what your doing within the sportbike market. Fantastic job!

    I don't care if it's track riding or street riding, I ALWAYS wear a full race suit when riding, from my experience anything can happen and after being in accidents that were not my fault the suit protected me from horrible road rash or even worse.

    Nice video, looking into getting myself a 1 piece suit for next season. Pretty big investment, i am only 20 and these suits are slightly peppered in pricing, but i'v decided that i need the safety.
    Will most types "standard size" back protectors fit inside a leather suit?
    Also, as a very slim guy, but with pretty broad shoulders, do you think Dainese would be a good choice? I'v read that their fit is pretty "slim"

    • @sportbiketrackgear
      @sportbiketrackgear  5 років тому

      I would take a look at the RS Taichi suits, similar fit the the Dainese with better quality. How the suit fits you will determine which back protector will work best for you. Many of them are similar in size, lots of options. When you are ready to get a suit give us a call and we will work through all of the options with you and get you dialed in. - Brian Van

    Actually funny I got this video on recommendation because while getting another suit is on hold until later in year (my current one is a replica and i lost faith in its crash integrity), i was just thinking about looking at suits. I do like race fit but two factors really stop me from using it; bad left shoulder and my right knee gets rubbed raw something horrible just after hour of wearing so I go for comfort fit (knee gets rubbed but not as bad) which works better for me. I am considering perhaps trying my luck with a kangaroo leather this time.

    • @sportbiketrackgear
      @sportbiketrackgear  5 років тому

      2 Piece suits are a good option for street use, for track use I prefer the 1 piece. With a 2 piece you have a lot of extra material in the midsection of the suit where the pieces overlap that makes them feel bulky and can restrict motion a bit. Also feel the 1 piece is safer because it does not have that connection in the middle. - Van

    • @sportbiketrackgear
      @sportbiketrackgear  5 років тому

      Every suit will be a little different and we are all shaped uniquely. As long as the boots overlap with the leg of the suit a reasonable amount you are good to go. What you want to avoid is having the leg too long extending over the ankle, this will make it bulky in the ankle area making it harder to shift etc... - Van

    For aggressive street riding, would you recommend getting a two piece? Or is the whole split in the middle too crucial?

    • @sportbiketrackgear
      @sportbiketrackgear  5 років тому +11

      I have ridden in a two piece suit before because I thought it was a good idea, ended up hating it. There is a lot of extra bulk where the two pieces come together right at the waist. You do not have this with a one piece, IMO this makes the 1 piece much more comfortable to ride in. Also feel the 1 piece is a little safer not having the seam in the middle. You are welcome for the video and thank you for watching! - Brian Van

      The suit that was too small is a size 52 Euro, proper fit is a 56 Euro and the too big is a 58 Euro. I would rate the GP Tech V2 I have in the 56 Euro as a "Race Fit" for me. Just rode in it last weekend for the first time and it required very little break in with all the stretch panels it offers. - Brian Van

      i have got exactly same though. when you put that fancy AS suit I think it is really too big, like one size. when you wear "too small" I got feeling like - its ok, it will brake after few hours - thats what sellers tell me, when I try Ixon Mirage 54 EU (now wearing 2pc AS 54EU). I was trying SPIDI 54... can't put in on by myself, 56 was way too big. I'm on market for new one, and have to buy something until 14 may... Ixon Pulsar 54 - no problem on and off, but I got feeling like there is no space when I was in full tuck position.... but sellers says.. it will brake, you will see ;)
      what to do?
