Pixiejnr 0 Posted April 10, 2012 Bit of advice please...i wear a two piece set of leathers, very thick and very heavy,with lots of extra protection such as back and elbows etc, yet very comfy, although very hot in summer, i am thinking of buying a one piece set as a treat for my birthday, what are the best really? Thanks guys and gals! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fr499y 0 Posted April 10, 2012 I personally prefer two piece. find them more comfy, plus I usually wear draggins and my leather jacket instead of my leather jacket/trouser combo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dick65 0 Posted April 10, 2012 depends on your price range,off the shelf or made to measure,ive never had an all in one but sure someone will help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pixiejnr 0 Posted April 10, 2012 only advice i have had is to buy a one piece a size larger to accomodate those pain in the bum bulgy bits us girlies have!! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chadatious 0 Posted April 10, 2012 I prefer two. Worn a one and its felt strange, and looked like a ninja power ranger cross breed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trebor4460 0 Posted April 10, 2012 I prefer a two peice, you can always zip em together so as good as a one piece, I like the convenience of being able to take the top half off.RST, good on price, good zips and protection, I fitted a better back protector and never looked back.

Stue11 0 Posted April 10, 2012 Def two piece for me so much easier to find size to fit and far more comfatable imo, i suggest you go and try em on before ya buy for eg...Me Frank thomas jacket is xxl aplpinestars jacket xl etc etc each bit of clotheing differs for me and wifey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BanditMike 0 Posted April 11, 2012 Also meant to say, for me I'll stick with the two piece. I'm not good enough to wear a one piece (I'm not a Power Ranger) and, as mentioned above, it's a size thing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RichardH 0 Posted April 11, 2012 Only ever a two piece, don't like camel toe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pixiejnr 0 Posted April 11, 2012 well it sounds like the resounding vote is sticking to my two piece...perhaps i was (stupidly) thinking i could look as good as UMA in Kill Bill!!! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bladerunner 0 Posted April 11, 2012 Ive had 2 piece and 1 piece over the years and heres what i think. A 1 piece is much much more comfortable when riding the bike whereas a 2 piece is more comfortable when your stood around sorting the world out.A 1 piece is far more accomodating for someone whos weight fluctuates,Ive got a Dainese 1 piece that fitted me when i was 17 stone and right down to 14 stone.try fastening your 2 piece jeans after christmas and you'll know what i mean.2 piece is much more versatile as has been said in winter you can wear a textile with the jeans,my advice would be to get whatever fits best thats is THE most important thing and make sure you go to a reputable shop as they will have someone there who knows what they should fit like.I will also say you get what you pay for and if god forbid the worst does happen and you find yourself sliding down the road its a bit late to be thinking i wish i'd bought the better suit.my preferance is the 1 piece, ive got 3 at the moment (but can only fit in 1) a stupidly expensive Dainese,the most comfortable suit i have ever owned without exception,a made to measure BKS,complete waste of money,it would probably protect me from a nuclear explosion but it is made from what seems like 1/4" thick leather and weighs a ton,and the one i wear now,an Alpine Stars i got from the N.E.C for £200.
