Dont you need a whole new set of gear? Jacket n trousers have to zip together all the way round.

That's my understanding as well. One piece or full zip together minimum!

Try Ron Haslam race school. The provide the bikes and the leathers.

All the way round? Why do some jackets etc. come with half zips then?!

Hmm, I'm hoping to fit my Hein Gericke zip (all the way round) to my AlpineStars jacket (existing goes 2/3 way round) for this. Will this do?

Because not all bikers do track days, so why would you want something more restrictive.

I was thinking that you wouldn't zip together at all other than for the track.
An assumption based on....
...erm...
...nothing whatsoever!

It's a d@mn expensive show too. At weekends it's £14 on the door. Even the £10 advance tickets are still a bit expensive for what it is. I might go on the first Sunday as there's a farmers market there too.

My Frank Thomas leathers have all the way round zips, plus a short 6" zip at the back. Not sure if that's for extra security or for if you don't want to zip all the way round.
