Default Leathers...

I'm wanting to get into doing some track days. I am looking into getting some leathers, a 1-piece preferably. I don't have a ton of green to drop on a set, who makes a good bang for your buck suit?

Alright.... I don't know much about how leathers are really supposed to fit. I tried on a 44 at a local shop, I got it on with a dance. Getting it off was another story, I had to get help to get it off my shoulders. Are they supposed to fit that snug or do I need to go up to a 46? If I go up will the knee pucks be where they are supposed to be? I am 6'1'

In a suit jacket I'm a 44 long, and paints 36 is slightly big and 34 a tad snug... Either alpinestars or joe rocket, they more I think I'm prolly going to go with a two piece so I can get more use out of it...

Yeah we are about the same, i have an email in trying to figure out my size for the 2 piece from tecknic. It kinda confuses me cause the chest size fits but the waiste seems to small and vise versa. I have a 44 chest and a 36/38 waiste 32 long.(loose jeans) I dont have any place close to try on a pair of leathers errrrrrr[:@] I hate drop all that $$$$ and have to send it back

I'm going tomorrow to try on a two pieces to see what fits the best. I have places well stocked close by which helps... I found a two piece joe-rocket suit for 505 from http://www.metricbikes-superstore.com/jrocket25.php

If the alpinestars one I want doesn't work out (which it probably won't sice it is discontiuned) then I will go with the joe rocket...
