[arai]

[SMZ]

Got me my HJC racing leathers and a lot of bitsa's

1pc Spyke T-Sheild (white/blue/black), great feeling suit it fits me nicely....the lining is fully detachable so you can wash it and its very soft to the touch

I'm so tempted to buy these as well, but I think I'd get the silver, just to make sure we don't ENTIRELY match.

I tried on a 58 and a 60 and found that the 58 was a little tighter than the 60 was. The 60 though was a little loose in the arms and I'm afraid (as was the sales guy) that they might not protect as well. So I'm thinking buy a little smaller and 'make it fit'. Has it stretched much for you? How much did you pay? Where'd you get it?

picked it up during the offseason so i haven't used it on a ride yet, but i do wear it at least a 1/2 hour every day(i'm such a dork) just to break it in and it hasn't really stretched, it fits snug but i can get a sweatshirt under if i have to... i got a 60 myself cause i'm not exactly small(5'10", 205lbs) and i don't think it will stretch much at all, got it from RMS and picked it up for about 1800 OTD(i don't trust using my credit cards online)

i think it would be better to buy smaller and alter it to the perfect fit cause you don't want the armour to move from where its supposed to protect

P.S. - the speed hump is so cool

You got it for $1800 with taxes? If so, I'm going to see if they'll swing the same deal for me... retail there is $2199+14.5%! :eek

Got me the cheapo HRC Leathers. Two reasons: Price ($500 incl. tax) and it was the only suit I could find that was long enough in the legs in my size.
Am I happy with it? I would prefer to be riding in a Dainesse or Spidi, but at the price it's great. Plus I don't worry too much about it and just clean it with a hose. It's pretty good quality too, no stitching coming apart yet and still fits like new, not baggy.
