  7. She really is quite chunk inducing isn't she. If you want a toned girl who looks amazing look no further than Jessica Ennis.
     
  8. I have a Dainese Corse 1 piece, mainly because I am a brand whore.....

    Pretty comfy, but as others mentioned, the sizing is a bit odd, always try before you buy!
     
  9. tuppence worth
    crowtree leathers louth
    great people to deal with have done so for way to long lol
     
  10. Seconded!!
     
  11. just about to buy an RST evo suit, so comfy and seriously well made for the money, £200 less than the alpine stars carver suit and IMO much better quality... if there good enough for the BSB boys there good enough for me!
     
  12. Had a few different makes but I've found my Wolf kangaroo leathers comfortable and hard wearing.
     
  13. How much does a 1 piece stretch? Tried the RST Pro on today and it was the most comfortable out of the RST range that I tried, but it was a bit tight across the chest and in the nether regions when stood up straight. Never had leathers before so it's all new to me. I'm a 38" chest and the suit I tried was a size 40. Having said this the Pro suit didn't have any back armour in but still feel it was the most comfortable.
     
  14. One piece leathers aren't very comfortable when stood up straight, because they are cut to be comfortable in a race crouch. Mine all feel tight in the chest stood up straight, but are super comfy when riding. Hope that helps.

    They don't stretch that much (the leather). The stretch is meant to come from the stretchy bits. But they do wear in, sure. They become more comfortable with the miles.

  15. Makes sense. :upyeah:
     
  16. I have a RST one piece. It's comfortable enough when I'm stood up, but they are meant for a "race crouch" as Glid said.

    So when you are stood up you have a saggy arse, which is not a good look.
     
  17. Yeah, the saggy arse thing concerned me somewhat, is this the norm? Ya gunna think I'm strange now but I have neen looking at the "fit" generally ont tinternet and it appears there are leathers that don't have the saggy backside.. Are these MTM by any chance or just that some people have a perfect manikin body! Don't wanna take a visit to squires and look at blokes asses all day. Women, yes, blokes? Not really.
     
  18. The saggy arse thing comes from the leathers fitting well for the "crouch". Two piece leathers are better for "non saggy arse syndrome"

    :wink:
     
  19. Where's best locally (Yorkshire) to try on a good range of leathers, including Alpinestars, Dainese, RST BKS etc... Ya gunna say J & S in Donny aren't ya? :wink:
