Hi all,
I'm seriously considering picking up a full leather suit. I've tried multiple pairs of riding pants and they were all too bulky for me. I stopped by a great new motorcycle gear shop near me tonight (Motorcycle Jackets, Motorcycle Gear, Helmets & Accessories - Motochanic) to try on some stuff and see how the fit was.
Wound up putting on a size 52 Alpinestars GP-Pro suit and getting it on was a process. Felt like my boys were losing circulation when standing up, but when in the riding position it was actually quite comfortable. Putting on one of the size 52 pants from a 2-piece suit and getting on the bike felt worse; like it was digging into my stomach in the riding position.
Just wanted peoples opinions on how a suit should fit before I buy, if anyone had recommendations on 1 piece vs. 2 piece, and see where the hell people put their wallet when wearing these things.
On a side note, I should mention that the shop I went to was phenomenal. I don't think I've ever dealt with people that friendly when trying to help me learn about gear, especially since I'm new to it all. Anyone in NJ should stop by if they need something. The store is small, but they can order you anything you want, don't charge sales tax, and you can earn rewards with every $100 you spend. Click the link above to check 'em out. Thanks.
