Alpinestars Octane 1-piece suit

JavyDay · 12-28-2006, 10:47 PM

Anybody have one? I bought a Frank THomas suit last year and now realize it is too baggy. I tried on an Octane at local cycle gear and it fits much tighter.(same size 42) I even squeezed into a 40. I'm 6'0" and 155 lbs. Your thoughts on the Alpinestars Octane suit

what are you going to do with the old suit?

It will be for sale. Interested? I wound up getting the size 40 Alpinestars. Fits tight.

i need one. i wear 32w 30l pants and medium shirts. 155-160lbs last time i weighted myself. what color is it

Here it is. Red, white and black. Worn for 1 trackday. Might be a little big for you or could be just right. Have you tried on any suits? I know it can be hard to find any to try.

Don't forget the spike on the helmet. That's very important.

I actually find black to be quite classy and sleek. my current jacket is black with double white striping down the sleeves, which looks real nice. I picked it up at Wilson's Leather for like $130, on sale for like 60% off.

An obvious downside to black though is the heat during the summer.

Yeah, my new suit is black. The old one matched my RC51. Black matches almost everything.

does that suit fit a 36 waist?

JavyDay · 01-16-2007, 5:39 PM

I think the Frank Thomas 42 would fit a 36 waist . I have 31-32" waist and it was baggy for me. Size 40 Alpinestars definitely would not fit 36" waist.
