    All depends on your build really. Personally I find Berik the best fit and they are a superb quality suit. They hold up really well in a crash and generally last really well.
    Had an RST Pro Series and thought it was crap. Had a not very significant off and seams burst at various points and had to be binned. Not great quality at all.
    You'll just have to try a few and see what fits best.

    Yup! Tested to destruction on 3 occasions this year. Not an issue and still going strong. Fantastic suit for the money IMO and fit me really well for my build / size which isn't always easy! I'm no racing snake lol

    try different suits as like helmets they all fit differently.my self I love teknics stuff,very well made,crash very very well and don't cost the earth.only problem is they've gonw bust so you cant get them anymore :).

    send jase a pm,he has a very "1 piece" that he hasn't worn yet unfortunately,although not sure it would give good protection in a crash....

    I've got an ixon suit and the fit and quality is good and the price was awesome £599 reduced to £200 at the mega motorcycle store in Swindon last year in their pre nec show sale

    I swear by Dainese but fancied some Alpine Stars earlier this year so bought a GP Pro suit. Tried it on once it arrived and it felt great. Got on the bike and got about 2 miles down the road and had to turn back as the neck area was far too tight when in the riding position.

    The rear 'stretch' panel that is above the hump was really small and when I was crouched it did not have enough give in it which made the collar did into my neck, really uncomfortable.

    Luckily the dealer took it back and changed it for a Dainese Laguna Seca. Pity though as other than that I loved the suit.

    Dainese are the perfect fit for me personally and having binned it in both the two piece and one piece I can say both withstand the crash damage really well :)

    If your finances can stretch, buy BKS made to measure, the best suit you'll ever need.
