Put the drugs away and stop mixing 'em!

Their prices don't actually look too bad, but what do I know.

That's a US site..... the RRP on Vector suits was $1990 though they were dropped from the NZ line up this year, so some shops may have them on close out pricing but I'd be surprised if you would find one for much under $1500 (and the US one would cost more than that by the time you shipped a heavy leather suit out, especially if Customs donged you for the sales tax.....and then you find it's the wrong size....

)

Summary - bloody good suit at a bloody good price, if you are small enough to fit it

I would buy it, but I'm too short, damn.

**HondaRacingCorp** · 7th July 2008, 16:56

How short? Should try on some alpinestars suits at your local shop see how a eur48 fits might be surprised. The 177cm on the sizing chart i think is the max height
