Morning guys, thinking about buying a one peice suit in the next month or so and the choice is massive, Ive got a KTM 625 supermoto on the road and was looking at the Alpinstars supermoto suit, then started thinking about getting a proper road bike aswell.
Looking for all black leathers or black and white leathers.
What do you guys use and think.

Cheers Ross.

There's such a wide choice as you say.

The best advice I can give is go into a shop and try on as many different suits on as you can and then make a mental note of the make, size, style etc and then get one cheaper off the internet, online shops or Ebay for s/h suits.

My suit was an RST and the guy I sold it to high sided his ZX10r at mallory a couple of weeks later and the suit held up pretty well, shame about the bike though

i hav just bought a set of dainese gran premio 1 piee leathers in black and white, cant fault them at all and would recomend them to anyone

Yeh looks like an afternoon in a bike shop trying some suits on, want a new helmet as well

Hopefully we can have a good old deal up.

Its all personal preference tbh mate, i find shoei lids really comfy and spot on but some of me mates swear by agv and arai where as i tried an arai and an agv on and i thought they were horrible and very uncomfortable. Same goes with leathers really some are longer in the body and dont suit smaller people some are shorter in the body and dont suit small people etc try and find a shop with load of different brands in and try them all on and see which on you like the best.

Not sure if you have tried a 1 piece on before but they are tight between the ball sack and shoulders when your stood up but there supposed to be like that and go slack once your in your riding position. So try them on and sit on a bike the same as yours or the same style at least

Pretty much settled on a Arai Tour-X3 Diamond lid, tryed one on last weekend and was very nice.

I had a joe rocket speedmaster suit that I loved to pieces. alpinestars seemed to be the tall guys suit, but I never owned one.

Ye i'm 6.5, tbh the dainese suit could be a little longer in the arms and legs if i'm honnest but it still fits perfectly well(if that makes sense lol) Plus there brand new so need breaking in so might stretch that little bit and be 100% perfect instead of 90% perfect fit lol

I had richa leathers before these and i thought they were alright and did the job untill i tried the dainese 1 piece suit on, which made me realise how wanky the richa leathers are.

yeah i get ya. i've always ignored 1 piecers due to thinking i'd struggle to get a decent non ball ripping fit. now the bike really is just a toy so 1 piece for runs out might be ok.

i'll try dainese

You got the NEC show in a couple o week, as wank as it is its good for bargains,
My mate picked up a 1 piece RST for £150 last year, he only went for a jacket
Have you got a J+S near you, they stock all kinds of everything in there, I spent a day alone trying on leathers at the 1 in Northwich.
