My hubby is a little taller than you, but around the same weight. He finds the AGV fits him the best. You might give them a try. Iron Pony here in Ohio (Columbus) has some on closeout. I believe they have a store on ebay that you can get a one piece. Podium is the model name, I think.

JR here, but only because I know it works.
I also prefer the 2 piece with the 360 zipper because it is easier to get in and out of for street use. If I were going to the track 2-3 times a month I would lean more towards the suite. JMO

I think most all manufacturers do, but you will pay a pretty penny for one.

I had a Z custom leathers built back in 1990 (I still use the suit), $1200 with boots which is like $65/year. I inquired to have another suit made this year, looking at around $1600. They are a little on the heavy side, 16lbs for the gear, 1.5mil leather.

I have a pair of SIDI Vertigo's man they are so nice. It took me a bit to break them in, but now I rather ride in those boots than anything else, damn the stares of the unwashed masses as squeak my way down the aisle at 7-11.

LMAO i understand the squeak ha ha. I feel very protected in them for sure. If I jump on a bike and ride it in tennis shoes, all I can think of is how f-up my foot and ankle will be if something were to happen.
