Leathers

Hey guys, just wanted some comments on this....

Are 1 piece leathers okay for riding in? I have 2 piece one for the road, but there are just a pain in the ass, I have 2 faulty jackects and and still haven't had it replaced. So I was gonna try and get my money back and get one piece.

They I can use them for the road and track, but are one okay for the road?

I can could also use my textiles for the road as well.

I have issuess as well finding clothes that fit, casue of my body shape, I have the guys smallest size in almost anything bike related.

What is the best make of one piece leathers as well to go for? No budget in mind, I would rather have good gear. any commets thanks.

Hideout leathers are awesome if you've got the cash. On the flip side, I've found my Alpinestars 2pc leathers really comfortable and well made for the money (£500) so go for the best that you can afford.

IMO, 1 piece suits are fine for the road, but 2pc suits better. Can you imagine bursting for a pee and trying to get a 1pc suit off in time?

inconvenient, but one piece are better in most everyway, of course no pockets, and I'd suggest made to measure, BKS are very good but a bit pricey, have a word with Jambo, he got some made through Hideout whidh look pretty well sticked together.

Cheers Mark.

Personally, I'd rather spend the money on really good two-piece.

Thanks guys, I know what you are saying but my ideas have changed since I got them, i'm just plain ****ed of with them. Also I don't see the point if at all possiable having 2 sets of leathers.

do u guys have to get the suit off to have a pee - just thought it was us gals that had to get all down first advance planning needed

^No, no suit removal needed in order to take a **** with my Spidi 1-piece suits.
Just gotta' zip it all the way down and then hang it out.

I've got three suits - a Dianese 2-piece and two Spidi 1-piece.
I wear the 1-piece ones all the time, about 8,000 miles a year on the street.
