Advice on buying a one-piece race suit?

[HenryDorsetCase]

It looks like it would fit me...

Are you the new Quasimoto?

Did I miss something?

Value for money (if it is the right size for you) would be the second hand (but looks new) Alpinestar team leathers for sale in the online trading. They are the top of the line Astars. I would have purchased them if they were a 52, but I went and purchase a set of Astar Atems new for $1400 instead.

There is no guarantee a top of the line suit will withstand 'ten crashes' ...every crash is different. Just get the best track gear you can. If you buy a 2-piece (which I would not recommend) make sure it zips together with both zips sewn to leather. A friend raced in a 2-piece that had the pants zip sewn to leather and the jacket zip sewn to the liner (thin material) ....useless and he paid the price....they were Alpinestars which is a good brand...check before you buy

I've just bought a 2-piece Rev-IT suit with this exact setup. Though I wont be racing on the track.

Bought an unworn RST two piece Razor suit for $380 delivered off TradeMe. Fits perfectly. Done CSS, a few track days and ride daily in it - perfect.

A super expensive suit isn't always totally necessary, nor is a custom one. If you are a normal body shape you should be ok, as long as you buy tight and let it stretch and fit you.

My Revit suit was $1000 from Motomail. 4 years on it has handled 4 crashes and a shit load of use. It's still fantastic.

Revit has been good to me also. Paid a bit more but fits perfectly and shows no signs of wear after 3 seasons with 1 crash involved. Thats my pick.

Make sure you take a back protecter when you try it on if it doesn't have an approved internal one. Really a separate proper back protector is best to.
Had a set of LEDAs altered once, didn't cost much to get stretch panels put up the side, think it was guy from jet leathers that did it.
Need to get some Pie (lol) panels put in the sides of my current suit. Seems to have shrunk with my old age lol
