RST with both hands. I'v been using RST suit for 3 years now and the build quality is amazing. Also tested the protection with 100km/h low side on track. Best value for money in my opinion.
Nice review. Bought the RST Track Tech EVO R for 599.00 US. Ordered a 54 euro and it was tight through the shoulders, back and biceps. Cut through the middle and legs were fine. Returned the 54 for a 56 and the fit is great. I'm 5'9" and 190 lbs with a athletic build. Suit comes with CE level 2 protection throughout which includes the back and hips. Good stuff for the price point
The added safety in the Dainese one is worth its money in gold, the entry level suits are great for starting out but do not underestimate where your extra money goes when you go with a higher end suit.
I know I have a previous comment from three years ago but leaving new one. I end up getting RST R-sport, really like it. I had to do slight modification on the right shoulder after suffering injury to my shoulder (not in suit at time). Unfortunately because the liner isn’t removeable, it got torn so have to be careful not to put my arm through it.
Paul Bell thanks for watching. It was the prettiest suit I agree but it wasn’t particularly comfortable. It’s always subjective of course I’d always argue that different suits work for different people. Don’t forget to subscribe 😬
I tried a 54 RST suit on today and I could have worn a 40ltr bumbag on the back of my waist under the leathers. The chest was snug, the legs were skintight and the length was too short. I’m 182cm, 109cm chest, 92cm waist and 87kgs.
I haven't tried on any alpinestars suits or jackets but when I tried on the dainese lines they never fit well at all the shoulders never seemed to sit right. When I tried on the rst pro series though it fit perfectly so I think it's also a case of whether the measurements are good for specifically your body. I have wide shoulders and a big chest but a small waist and stomach so most things don't fit very well
I have the same shoulder issue when I tried the Dainese Laguna Seca suit. The way the shoulder armor is position, it digs into my shoulder. Wearing the Held Race Evo suit now!
Wow those fit great your lucky. I'm 5'10" 129Lbs and have to pay Alpinestars to custom make my suits if I want a true race fit. And it ain't cheap. Really like that RST though. I have tried RST boots and they are high quality.
Ripcord how did you get in touch with alpinestar to have your suit custom made? I’m 5’5” about 165 lbs and I fit on size 52 EUR, only thing is that arms and legs are too long 😫
I’ve got a Teknic 2 piece suit that I picked up used for a song. It was 1 size too small so it’s a bit tight and not long enough, ideally. Still, for the low price, I had to have it. I’ve also owned Lewis Leathers Monza jacket and jeans. Very stylish. I’m considering Hideout leathers who do bespoke suits, for my next leathers. I don’t race so 2 piece is more versatile for me. RST is incredible value but lack of custom fit might be an issue for me.
@@letsreviewit8925 bro why did you go and order all the suits one size small, they all looked like your joints were trying cave in 🤣🤣🤣🤣 were not women bro buy your size and move freely
you're not supposed to stand up straight in race fit suit. RST is a badass suit for the money. Its shaped for you to be sitting on the bike, not standing. The tight crotch is not bad when you are in a tuck position while on the bike.
I was looking into getting RST while back ago but I never got one. I have bad luck with suits; used to wear 50 but gained weight, bought a berik 54 (good brand, just underrated), lost weight so bought 52 but had to sell it bc hurting for money at time. Unfortunately race fit absolutely rubs my right knee raw after one hour of wearing so have to go with comfort fit.
@@letsreviewit8925 The 50 was Alpinestar (cant remember model now), sold it, both 54 and 52 were both Beriks. After my money situation was over, I was considering AN but couldn't figure out what size I would be ,and RST was too expensive, i end up with a Alpinestar replica which seemed good at the time, but after seeing my friend crash in his actual Astar (he was fine, just road rash) I have no faith in its crash integrity so looking into getting something else (the Berik kangaroo one is possibility)
I bought RST Racetech Evo 3 a week ago, it hasn't seen road yet. As you said, could be longer, difficult to stand, but comfortable in slight crouching position. Hope it will be better once loose few centimetres on belly. Or should return and replace for size bigger 🤔
That's a tough one, they don't give alot in length so if they re uncomfortable consider trying the next size. But they will break in so if they're tolerable it might be worth waiting until you've worn them a few times. I often wear mine in the house for a few hours before taking them out on the bike.
@@alexthiboutot84 In the end I returned it and got 2-piece suit. Not going to track [yet] and 2-piece better for rest stops. Also I ride adventure bike (hope getting 2nd bike for Sunday rides and track) and leathers looks weird on adventure bike. 2-piece suit I got has no hump, makes it more suitable from this perspective too :) I don't need aerodynamic advantage on a back straight
It's funny that you mentioned about all the gear but no idea. That's what i think but when I see riders all in black or dark colours so the opposite. I have black leathers but regret it. I think it's much safer to wear brighter colours.
I’ve ordered the rst grandstand race suit without trying it... I live in the states and basically have to buy sight unseen from the UK. I ride a street triple and I’m hoping it should be a bit more comfortable for the more upright riding position than the track tech. Hopefully I’m correct.
For anyone who takes protection seriously, I would suggest avoiding RST. Track day very often, and anyone who is serious and about riding often would not go near the stuff.
I might be the only one, but I've never heard of "mangina" before and you had me laughing my ass off. I wondered about that first one smashing your nutts; I guess they all did but the Ducati wasn't as bad down there, but that's not saying much. I don't know why they don't have accommodations for our package like Batman & Robin does. I mean, where's your private gear supposed to go? I'm a cruiser anyway, so I wear jackets and jeans. Anyhow, I liked the Alipinestars too, nice design and looks good. I have their jeans and unlike some name brands, it's not one you're concerned about being on there. They're not outrageous and not cheap, so they don't really call attention to themselves. Now, that Ducati suit on the other hand, I couldn't pull that off anywhere. It just screams, "Look at me" and I couldn't do that one, but it does look very nice. I'm okay with loud colors if it's just one piece, but not a whole suit. But then again, I wear different stuff for a mostly in-town rider. I do have my first Bilt matching jacket and pants. And I don't care what anyone says, I still like them and wear them, but not always together. We all have to start somewhere.
Hello! I stumbled over your video looking for Alpinestars Orbiter One review. I am 170 cm tall, my weight is 78 kg. You think size 50 euro would fit me good? Great review btw!
I've tried a few and Rev It fits me far better than any other. Alpinestars always seemed like it was too big on me, smashing my balls at the same time and overall not fitting well. I see it's the same with the presenter. When he sits on the bike, the suits crumbles like it's not his size at all. With my Rev It I can walk fairly normally and it's so much more comfortable, it's not even a contest.
RST are always massively undersized compared to other brands, im a eu56 in dainese but a eu58 maybe even a eu60 in rst! That RST suit you have on here is MILES too small for you you need a 56/58.

You also have to think about body type
Nice leathers...very cool!

Dainese ftw
Nice suit price plz
Sapam David it’s all in the video!
I could see that you had size 50 on the Alpinestars but what size did you have on the Dainesesuit?
Both the A-Stars and Dainese Suits are 56's RST was 54
56, of course, sorry for my blindness! Thanx for the quick answer!
