Default New Leathers a bit tight

I'm sat trying to wear in my new 1 piece suit wondering how I'm going to squeeze a back protector in there too lol

Same size (52) as my old suit but seems to have so much more padding in it.

Heat the leather up G, I just spent an hour or so getting my triumph leather tank cover to fit better, heat gun and lots of swearing and pulling has got it reasonable.
Moral to that story buy one that isn't for an older plastic tank after doing your homework.

Sorry for derail.

House is like a sauna and I'm sweating like a peado teaching 16 year olds to swim. It's feeling slightly better than it did, still no back protector in yet though lol I'm wondering if I can remove some of the padding to be honest... it's got loads in places where my other suit didn't.

Sorry for derailing

I'll stop eating crap now spring is fast approaching, it'll be hard, but I'll do it (Back on topic)

Is there padding in where the back protector goes? Mine has a wee zip that has a piece of foam thrown in there?

There is a space for the back protector but no padding...the bulk of the padding is around the kidneys/hips and ass cheeks... I guess those parts are kind of important to protect so I'll probably leave the foam in lol
