Knee sliders or not?

Thanks for the advice guys - I think i'll go with the sliders as I can always remove them. Just trying to decide if it's worth getting a one piece instead of separate trousers.

44 waist is too big for me. I'm about a 30-31 inch wast, which translates to an Alpinestars size 38 - this is a real pain in the butt as I'm yet to find a shop that actually has this in stock!

Long term plan is to eat more pizza.

2 piece is more convenient, 1 piece is cooler.

1 piece is cooler for the track. 1 piece for road use makes me laugh. Not sure why.

I've got both a one piece and a two piece.
The one piece is defiantly comfier to wear all day on the bike but the two piece is better if you are planning to do many stops.

I'd get a hein gericke 1 piece from ebay

This is a cracking set and you see it alot around the racing paddock coz its good quality (no its not mine, but I do have a set too).

i bought alpinestars apex trousers last year, im a 30" waist so got usa size 32 eur 48, but wish i had gone one size bigger as no room to put on weight. they do fit very well but i do have to keep going to the gym, just so i can fit in to these.

Hideout leather are the mutts nuts at alterations thou so will be taking these there in a couple of years (when i hit 30)

Like mentioned, mine came with knee sliders however I've removed them until I decide to try a track day and even then, they're unlikely to kiss the tarmac if I manage to stay on the bike.

And a good point about the zip. You'll get away with 3/4 zip I believe, worth checking with the track you plan on going to.
