| Re: one piece leathers sizes? Gothy,
Im 6' 1" and have a 33" waist and wear a 44 in a two piece by joe rocket. I have tried on one piece's that are the same size(44) and they fit ok. Just a bit of a warning I have stayed with two instead of one cause one piece leathers tend to rid up a little. |

| Re: one piece leathers sizes? To get a perfect set of leathers that will fit like a glove your best bet is to go into a store that has leathers don't worry about colors or price. Just try on a couple of different sizes walk around. Try one and two piece ones on. If you ride to the store you may even be able to go sit on your bike so you can see what they feel like in riding position. Once you have what size, brand, ect... go online and look for the same ones. You will find that they don't cost as much. LOL! Plus most places that you order from have free shipping if you spend over $100 or so. Be sure to check ebay and other sites to. Found out my size and the ones I liked in the store along with a set of boots. Total cost in the store was going to be well over $800. I picked up the same leathers and boots online for $600. Happy hunting!

| Re: one piece leathers sizes? I spotted this thread while searching the net for other info, but decided to join and post the link below, which is probably the most informative video on what to look for when purchasing a one piece leather suit. Hope it's helpful. YouTube - Fitting Race Leathers
