2-pc Leather Racing Suit

Okay, so I stumbled upon this ebayer from another thread and found this:

2PC MOTORCYCLE 2 PC LEATHER RACING SUIT ARMOR BLACK 44: eBay Motors (item 330462749826 end time Sep-16-10 21:31:44 PDT)

Some of you guys know this. So here is a picture that Stephanie took for me, and I know it looks silly because I am barefoot and not fully geared.



But I would like to talk about it a little bit, so that if any of you guys are interested... So I was expecting it to be a little junky, because it was $179.99, when they usually retail for like $460, I figured that it had to have a few places where there were corners cut to save, but I have to be honest, it is a really well constructed suit. I felt a little funny putting it on, because it is quite snug. It will take a little getting used to, and I am sure that it will stretch after wearing it a little bit.

Basically it is quite warm actually, so wearing it in the dead of summer may not be a good idea. I was sweating in it, but it may be a different story after riding for a while. I am going to test that out tomorrow, but i wanted to let you guys know that I got it. Only took about a week to get, and I am very impressed with the quality of the leather and how it is constructed. I would recommend if you are looking for a 2-pc suit. Very good value.

I am 6'2", weigh 195 lbs, and I about a 34-36 waist and I got a 44. You want to make sure that you measure before you order.

That's a really good deal. Leather riding suits should fit tight- like a second skin. Some pattern is good too tho, cuz all black is less visible on the road...

Yes, I was actually working on my ride review. So today I took the bike out for about an hour with my new suit. First, it was a little hard to get my feet up to the pegs because I had to stretch the leather so tight. But it didn't take long and I had the hang of it. It also makes sitting on my bike more comfy because it almost acts as a suspension system... Basically the suit wants me to stand up because it is being pulled taught. But it made me feel way more confident in the turns and I took my favorite twisty road a little faster. Over all it was a great buy. Two thumbs up from me!
