Yup, I'm shorter and lighter.

lol, well at least now you know! You'll probably struggle to find a European suit that small but some of the Japanese manufacturers like Kushitani etc make suits that small. Otherwise it's a custom job from one of the local manufacturers I'm guessing

I have a Alpinestars 1 piece suit that is a bit tight around my tummy, its Red , Black and White Size 40 USA 50 Euro would suit about 1.7m x 68-70 kg. You really need to live down the bottom of the south Is to try it on. Cheers Toddy

I wouldn't say Jocky size, I'd say motorGP racer size....

Altho your still a lot bigger than Dani Pedrosa whos leading the motoGP at the mo:

From Wiki: Pedrosa is 1.58m (5ft, 2in) tall and weighs 51kg (112.4lbs).

This suit is brand new, never worn right?

Who has Alpinestars in Auckland so i can try on this size suit to see if it fits? If it fits, then you got yourself a sale.

Yes brand new never worn, has tags still attached, will come wrapped in alpinestars plastic bag on alpinestars coathanger

Just a suggestion - you'll be unlikely to find a suit that size in any dealers line up. Most of them only seem to stock the faster selling sizes 52-58 regardless of brand and rely on the wholesaler to carry the smaller/bigger sizes.
Plus its not good form to 'use' a dealer like that IMHO.
HRC has posted the official sizing chart at the beginning of this post - get the tape measure out and work out your size. If you are really unsure, see if he'll give you a signed/witnessed written money back guarantee if it doesn't fit and is returned in X number of days in the same condition. At least that way you are covered if it all turns to poo.

MGST I saw your stats posted, and at 176cm, you'l fit the suit length-wise, but it will be snug. If your planning on using it for touring then I wouldn't bother, it'l be sweet for riding position, but when walking around in it you'l look like a hunch back
