Hi, looking for a quality one-piece suit and I would like to hear your guys suggestions and opinions. What I want: high level of protection, something durable that wont rip apart in the event of an off, snug fit, "back hump" for pose value. only thing though, I have wide shoulders and a very small waist. Is something gonna fit of the shelf??

Dainese through either www.bimoto.be or www.market2ruote.it would be my choice. The good thing about Dainese suits is that not many have them so you don't see 50 other people on the road with your suit on. The Bora suit sounds like what you want. I have the same problem with my shoulders and have to wear a 56 when my other dimensions would suggest a 54.Originally Posted by t3mp0r4ry nzr

Fit is one of the most important things. Too tight and you won't be able to move. Too loose and it will rub against your skin in a bin and you'll lose a bit.
Dainese has the name, and Rossi wears, and it looks like awesome quality stuff (not having worn it myself).
The Quasi stuff is awesome for the money though, and gives as much protection as you'll probably need (having crashed in one of his two-piece suits). Plus, I think he sells custom suits, so your Greek-God-like physique will be catered for.

Like everything else... shop around, find what is right for you regarding fit (comfort) and budget.
People go for different things... so you will get many answers in this thread - however what is important is what one-piece is best for you. That will be for you to decide.
But custom made leathers at a reasonable price makes sence... (i.e Quasi)
Your call

I have a quasi road jacket from brett and im very impressed with the thickness of the leather and the kelver stitching.
Fit is one of the greatest concerns for me. I dont want loose leather everywhere. Can others here vouch for the fit of their custom quasi one-piece??

Im looking at Spidi, alpine stars (as I can get these on discount) or quasi or maybe technics, maybe shift as I want something local where I can physically go and see for trying on and backup. So I dont really wanna import any suits for this reason.

Understandable but you'll get murdered on the price compared with importing. Find one you like and then see if you can find someone local that has one in your size that you can try on. Then you can import one knowing that it'll fit. Seriously, I got a Dainese Pro Tech (then top of the line) landed for less than I could have got an Alpinestars entry level suit for locally. A friend of mine got an even better deal on a T-Age 1 piece suit (in cool stormtrooper white) a year later.

Sheesh
okay over 25 crashes each so far in QUASiMOTO gear and each item is still been worn, some gear crashed three times or more, you get some pulled stitching (which was fixed) and now you want to bag me at every opportunity???

My Dainese lasted for decades (including a few offs). I toured and raced in it.
I got a new suit not because it was worn out (well it was a little of course) but because of my older age I got just too fat for it and the extra leather bits being added to it were getting a bit ott.
A few months ago I did a bit of a shop around and found the latest Spidi to be a good fit/look/price combo. So far so good with them...

uuuuhmmmm?
I would personally go for the Apstars suit. The quality of these suits are outstanding. Sure the are a bit more expensive than some of the cheaper suits, but you get what you pay for. Go to your local shop and try one on..if it fits, just import it(http://www.newenough.com/product_gro...lpinestars.htm ) for a way cheaper price.
You could also try these guys. i know two guys who has got a suit of them and it fits real well. They take about 20 different mesurements of you and work according to that.http://www.dainese.be/en/moto/intro/index.htm
Don't you just love golf?
