White leathers?

so i got some new boots and gloves, both alpine stars and in white, now looking at alpinestars 1 piece leathers also in white, will this look completely stupid on a silver bike?? i have a really bright helmet so wont be all white like a power ranger.

My advise for what it is worth. Unless you are a track day addict. Stick to two piece leathers.

One piece are a pain for all day use. Stop anywhere in summer and you cannot remove the top so very sweaty.

If you are anything but a standard size, you find the body too short, legs too long etc. Only solution made to measure. At least with two piece you can try to find a jacket trouser combination that works.

i have a 2 piece anyway mainly used for normal day to day use but when i go out for evening or weekend rides i think i'd like to get a 1 piece, it'll only be the alpinestars motegi suit not stupidly expensive but looks nice too and im guessing is quite strong

I'm with Tim on the two piece leathers, so much more practical than a one piece, as long as they zip together it's a good compromise.

Btw, I'll have to move this to bike talk.

suits me excuse the pun, maybe i could upgrade my 2 piece? any recommendations? i currently have rst

I've had my a* two piece for nearly 4 years now, it's been pretty good tbh but can't comment on its crash resistance as I've not crashed in it.

My wife has a rst rift two piece suit and tbh it is as good quality as the A* one, leather is just as thick.

i have the tractech and the crash resistance is blo*dy amazing, 50mph over the top of a car and i was unharmed except my hand which was down to gloves, just as they are all scraped up i could do with replacing them

wouldn't touch white leathers with a barge pole. each to their own and all that though.

Apart from not being my first choice of colour the only problem I could think of is keeping them clean and looking decent.


Sent via Crayola using the black crayon.

White leathers will make you look like a fat *******. Unless your a skinny fecker, steer clear.
Even if you're skinny you will look a pr&t with with white booties and gloves to match.
What are thinking of? What colour is your helmet by the way?
