1 or 2 piece suit?

[dclifford]

Any recommendations, Pros or Cons.
The suit is available in a 1 or 2 piece. The 2 piece can be joined together with a zip.

well a 1 piece aint gonna be too comfortable to walk around in, but it would probably come out better in a crash. if you crashed in a 2 piece the zip could rip and the jacket could ride up. the 2 piece would be better if you plan on doin' much walkin' around after parking up. all depends what your after really.

As said, 1 Pc are very uncomfortable to walk around in (after a bit of time)

1 piece can be difficult to get a good fit, although I have a 1 piece. In order to get the right leg and arm length I had to opt for a slighly shorter than I would like body length, so it tend to be a little tight around the nether region when walking but fits ok when in use on the bike

On the road, two piece every time, a one piece suit will be an assembly of sections, the stitching of which will join an extendible section about your waist area at the rear and the hip sections at the front, assuming you purchase a good quality suit, any zips used will be at least as strong as the stitching will be.
Note: Good quality suit, not a piece of junk of which there are far to many.

Yeah, i had the same problem choosing mine, but opted for the 2 piece for comfort and better fit. Also means that you can have a textile jacket for the winter and still zip your leather trousers to it 8)

If it's for road riding, then 2 piece. If you're doing a lot of trackdays then you might want to invest in a decent 1 piece. If you're unsure, which you are or you wouldn't be asking, then 2 piece.

2 piece.

so much easier to don - the zips are pretty damn stirty too.

I prefer the one piece myself but maybe I was lucky as I don't find it uncomfotable to walk in - not that I do a lot of walking in my leathers. I got a nice Alpinestar suit with lots of stretchy stuff and that helps. I found my Spidi 2 piece annoying to zip up and less flexible on the bike - probably for the same reasons they are easier to walk in, they bagged up a bit more when riding.

How do you tell the difference?
