I tried searching but didn't find anything (probably mis-using the search engine).
I'm 175cm tall, and weigh about 90kgs. I used to play prop/2nd row in under-85kg rugby league, so you can imagine my build...stocky/solid. Problem is, from my point of view, that most leathers seem to be made for anorexic beanpoles. I could stand to lose a bit of weight, but it still doesn't change the fact that my ribcage is nearly 100cm! Is a custom suit my only option? Or should I forgot one-piece suits and just try to mix-and-match two piece gear?
I been riding in a Made-to-Ride leather jacket and Draggin jeans, but I want something with a bit more protection when I move from my TZR250 up to my ZXR750.
Seen Quasi's gear, I like the look of the one (race) piece suits (bright colours!, and available in green!), but the two piece seems a bit bland. Are the race suits okay for Saturdays and Sundays, or strictly suitable for racing only?
Cheers.
