What are your thoughts on a 2 piece suit from Teknic - http://www.teknicgear.com/chicane-2pc-suit/?

I tried one on a few days ago. The fit was a lot more baggy than Berik, Alpinestars, Dainese etc and the quality didn't seem as good. Was a better price though, and probably not a bad buy.

When comparing quality, what are looking out for?

Below is a review of the 2009 2-piece Chicane...should give you a good overview of the features. From what I can tell the Xcelerator 2-piece is the same as the Chicane...unsure why they are swapping the names around on the site.

What are you going to use it for? Track or Road?

I have used just about every brand of suit and $ for $ the Teknic is the best I have found! Unless you but the 3k plus suits your not going to find better quality imo

I have personally tested there suits at a crash at over 200kmh and the suit was still intact to use in the very next race where I tested it again at around 80kmh and it was still intact for the next one at around 70kmh hahaha it is still usable now it just has a small rip in the material on the inside of the arm.

That's pretty much the best review you can get...enough said.
