Need some advice... After losing 2 and half stone decided my 2 piece leathers need replacing! Comfortable but noticing the flapping wind affect at speed Decide to go for a one piece, So measured up and decided to have a look on ebay.(spent too much on bike this year already) Anyway won a one piece suit like new worn three times on track, well chuffed. My question is how snug should these be. I needed a hand getting them on and once on I thought my dangles were deciding which side to go. Zips up fine and length is good. Sat on the bike and can move with no restriction the dangles at this time make a decision, but off the bike I walk like a tin man. Is this Normal? Not even thinking of going to the Loo especially in a Hurry!!!!!!! Number two's will have to wait.......................
They should fit snugly but you should still be able to get into a racing crouch! Like Rossi does on the grid lines just before the start of the race
I had a similar problem with my old Dainese. They were comfortable when riding but when I got off the bike and stood up my testicles would be forced apart by the groin seam like a couple of unpleasant, hairy saddlebags. Being fairly weighty of nad it looked obscene so I went up a size.
Lol they do free up with some use, are they new? If so will give some. Anyway at speed.. Don't think you exceeded the speed limit recently anyway have you?
What speed limit!!!!!! My head is still buzzing Leathers like new , Bloke worn them 3 times on his brothers track bike and also gave me a back protector as well! as his Brother moved away! I have now got a racing Hump, told the Kids it makes you faster. FACT!
Not meant to fit while walking around, that's why the Moto GP and SBK guys are always sitting in the garages or on the grid on their bikes. Zip should be low enough to hang the old boy out though.
My AXO one piece suit sounds just the same as your description, I can't say it's stretched or given much over time tho. Not overly comfy off the bike, but hardly know your wearing after 5 minutes on the bike.
Tightish is good, last thing you want is a baggy arse. They will give a bit after a while and should be a snug fit. Nowt worse than seeing a guy in leathers that are 2 sizes too big.
As others have said they should be snug, and will give a little the more you wear them. My one piece is a pig to get on and I need Ling to help me get back out of them, but once on the bike they are so comfortable I don’t know I am wearing them. Walking like John Wayne is a small price to pay for the best protection.
In a word, snug! They do give a bit but not as much as people suggest but they do sag a bit in the a*se after a while. The biggest pain is not having anywhere to keep your phone, keys or wallet but having said that once on the bike they are the best thing for riding IMO. Out of interest what do you guys use to carry the essentials in when wearing a one piece suit( Btw I'm not talking about your nads ;-)
Update... Tried them out Today. Managed to get them on with no help (Good Start) once on the bike within minutes forgot I had them on! Off the bike yeah didn't feel that comfortable, but I'll get used to that. As to carrying the essentials card and money inside pocket, phone attached to motorbike stem mount! And as a bonus managed to get out of them with no assistance. (No choice - everybody out anyway!)
I find getting them on much easier with a base layer on. They stop you sweating into your leathers too!
