Which one piece leather suit?
 
I decided to buy a 1 piece suit, mainly because they look good, and more comfortable when you on the bike.

however, when I standing still, and walk around with them, its actually hurt between my legs. but feels good when I ridding, i think the reason is I have got a long back, my upper body is about 7 or 8 cm longer then other people with the same hight. I have a mate got the same hight like me, he wears the suit comfortably on and off the bike, doesn't feel any stretch between the legs when he walks.

is there anyone got the same problem ? how did you solve it ? any advise would be appreciated!

Undo the zip, take suit off shoulders with arms swinging about, or walk about hunched forward like some primate which seems to keep the pressure off the mentioned area.

I take the top off mine and let it hang.
Or use a two piece if you know your going to be walking about a bit.

one made with longer upper body cut. hope if anyone knows the brand or model

name.

My 1 piece berik is longer in the body than most.
I'm 6 foot 1 and have a 32 inch inside leg and their stuff is pretty good on me.
Arlen Ness is what I use for my 2 piece and they seem ok too.

The thing is, you will just have to go and try stuff on as only you will know if it fits you well.

I refrained from buying my leathers until the MCN show in London earlier this year, lots of choice and bargain prices!

both of you are spot on! I have spoken many of friends, most of them recommended me to try Berik and Arlen Ness. its a bit shame that in Bristol
there isn't any shop selling them, all u can get is Alpinestar and BKS.

they also said buying stuff at NEC show or London MCN show is a good choice. when those shows gona start? how good is the deal can be? 20% off
compare to the high street shop? would it be easy to try it on ? I am not expecting them to have a changing room in the NEC or London Excell. lol

anyway thanks for the advise my friends!
