    I am considering buying a one piece suit, willing to spend up to a about grand maximum on the suit including new gloves. Current leathers are a Dainese jacket and trousers which are really comfortable and great quality leather but hankering for a one piece. The trousers are like brand new as I am to lazy to bother putting them on if only going for a short ride. A one piece will ensure I cover up properly and that I am fully protected at all times.

    Apinestars Tech 1-R and GP pro gloves are looking pretty good but then so does some of the Dainese kit.

    What would you guys suggest?

    Personally, I'd go dainese.... Think their stuff is that little bit better. And looks way nicer.

    Good shout on the 1 piece mate, best think I ever bought.

    The gloves er fit like a glove (But try first) seem to be a bit on the small size.Always had a 1 piece suit but have to say they are a ball ache either getting them on or off.Plus ok when in the bike riding position but they seem to be tight in the goolies when walking i am also on the lookout for a suit and perhaps will end up with a 1 piece but i am sure a two piece is perhaps the why forward for the road.
