Im looking at a 1 piece suit on tard me second hand. Guy says would suit taller rider.

Size is 52uk which is 42euro size correct chest etc.

What I want to know is height wise is anyone over 6foot tall wearing one or do you know someone who is?


Im 87 kg and 6 foot 4. I have long arms and legs. My 2 piece suit that's had a few track crashes has had the bottoms extended to tuck into boots so im not exactly what a manufacturer classes normal.

Will see if I can get one of the guys at work to jump into a suit. Couple your size. I'll try get measurements too.

Not sure if you got the numbers the right way round, but I have a Shift 1 pce, and it's listed as a Euro 58. I'm 6'3, 100kg. I reckon you have to have about that size, maybe a 56, to get arms and legs long enough (unless you alter the suit).

What a bargain, it doesn't cost much to get a few alterations done by right people anyway if you have the contacts.
Great gear, had mine since late 2003 (200GBP at allypally show), snowsealed it and had it wet few times no problems. It seems to have shrunk with age which of course is no relation to consumption of service station pies :)
Mine is UK42 EUR52, I'm 183cm, roughly 112cm chest, 100cm waist (stop sniggering lol). Hanging on coathanger suit is roughly 152cm from back of neck to bottom of calves section.
Hope that helps. RST have a great website you may find more info there on sizing.

Thanks guys. im a 87 waist. Weighed myself again. Shock horror 92kg. I may get it and extend the lower legs to tuck into boots like my existing suit which has seen a few to many slides now.

I'm 6 foot and 80 odd kilos with a 34 inch waist. My last two suits were 58 Euro in either AGV or Spyke(ie 3 sizes bigger than what you are looking at) and my brother's Spyke and Teknic suits are 58's and fit the same. I tried on a 54 Alpine star suit recently and while I could get in, Im not sure I could finish a race due to oxygen starvation!

I reckon it would have to be bloody cheap to make up for all the work they would need.

Seems like it is 52us/uk which is 62euro. He seems to have purchased that size for length. Hes 6/4 and 80. Im 6/4 and 90-92 with 34inch

87cm waist. It may be a size to big width or even 2 but the correct length.
Wondering if I should get it and have it altered in if required.

Yeah his is 52-62 and would need a lot of taking in. The problem is suits don't come premade for tall people.
