One-piece suits? Opinions please...

**Pussy** · 26th January 2010, 18:32

A friend here in NP has a two piece Technic suit.... looks pretty good!

Oh.... cc rider has a nice two piece Alpinestars suit, too.
Got all the armour

**cc rider** · 26th January 2010, 18:39

I've got a 2 piece A/Stars. Very comfy. Bit stiff to start but fits like a glove now, need it tight. Have worn a gfs 2 piece Tiger Angel when swinging, fits a full size back protector in. So on a hot day was nice to take the top off.

Lots of great advice above.

cheers

Oops...just saw your post Pussy... snap

That suit looks like it was tailor made for you, too, cc!

Thanks Pussy, it's not bad is it, was lucky on that score for sure. A/Stars fits my shape better then Dainese does.
It might not be a current model but I'm no trend setter.

Definitely agree that the more perforation you can get in a suit the better. Whatever you try on, walk around, bend, stretch for a while in the store. Throw your leg over a bike if you can. You're paying a lot of money, so make sure you're comfortable/happy with it.

Edit: for a minute there Pussy I thought you were going to say it looks like kid's leathers... not that I've heard that before

I can vouch for the comfort and quality of my 2piece Dainese suit. Has all the armour, etc- happily I haven't had to crash test it personally. I wanted something that wasn't all black and this suit has always been a pleasure to wear; I never ride without it. Good luck in your hunt, and i recommend buying what you like, even if it costs a bit. My suit is over 10 years old already. (it is on my profile page if you wish to look)

Shameful plug coming
How about a custom suit with the BADD logo on the back?

1/ you choose the colours of the suit (all colours even pink)
2/ Knox armour throughout
3/ 4 rows of stitching (3 kevlar)
4/ VS YKK zips
5/ NO GUY ZIP on the bottom for willies
6/ 1.4 mm A grade leather cowhide.

Here are some lettering examples for you.

lots to choose from out there but we might as well jump into the pool of possibilities eh !

I see this thread is a few days old now but thought I would share my personal opinion. I just bought a new Dainese Yu Lady Suit... not here though mind you as for starters they didn't have the one piece in black in my size and of course the price so I bought it in from the states... it came within a week and it cost $1500 landed including GST... I know... bargain as opposed to $2700. Anyway totally I love it! It's a bit snug at the moment so need to wear it in a bit more perhaps in good dousing in some rain, but other than that it fits like a glove and my opinion is a one piece is far more secure and protects a lot more than a 2 piece. I have seen 2 pieces rip apart from a full on high speed crash. Other than the Dainese I would recommend Quasimoto as they can custom fit it to you because as we know females come in all shapes and sizes and realistically to get a suit off the rack that fits perfectly probably only happens 5% of the time. Anyway good luck.
