Racing Leathers

I'm looking into buying some racing leathers and was wonder what other people own and their thoughts of which is better. what to look for in a good set of leathers.

1 piece vs 2 piece
brand
sizing

any help would be great
cheers Paul

paul you cant go past alpine stars there not cheap but there quality leathers and fully repairable, if they need to be fixed at any time. alot of the cheaper leathers places like wallden miller who do quality repairs to race leathers wont touch alot of the cheap no name brands brands like alpine stars , and dainese , you know your buying quality they dont come cheap but then again how much value do you place on your body

hi Paul like thew other paul said alpine and the like are great letters they are expensive to buy new but you can get some good second hand ones the suit that i wear retails for 3000 dollars but i piked it up for 550 second hand one piece are the best me and liam have had both and one piece are way better getting the size right is very important when using them for pocket bike racing leathers are very restrictive at the best of times let alone the positions that we need to race in so when trying them on always squat in the position you need to race in to make sure you have anuff room to move in comfortably

also should you get a suit with a back hump or without? is it really worth having one for pocket bikes?

I've got a viperformance racing suit which cost me $400. Bargain, but I've thrashed the guts out of it and need a new one

Almost every race suit will come with a hump this days so there must be a good reason for it.Go for it its not going to cost too much extra this days.
