    Afternoon all.

    I've currently got a Dainese Laguna Seca 2 piece set, size 40.

    They fit great..........just so long as I don't wear my back protector.......when that's in I can zip it all up BUT.......I can barely breath and I feel very restricted when riding.

    I used to have a Berik size 42 one piece which was comfy with the back protector in but the arse used to hang off me something awful :D

    Ideally I'd have a Dainese set with a 40 bottom half and a 42 top half.

    Does anyone know of a brand that tends to fit a little larger on the top?

    What back protector you using??

    I had a similar issue with my Dainese T-Avro 2 piece suit. Comfy with no BP but too tight with the Knox Aegis BP. I switched to a slip in BP and sold the Knox.

    Can you not get a thinner one maybe a Forcefield.

    I've always bought jackets a different size to trousers for that reason but of the same make so the zips all connect together! Not fussed if not a matching colours as tend to go for plain black trousers and a jacket with minimal colours

    I bought Scott leathers. Off the peg jacket includes BP and custom made trousers, because I have short legs.

    I had a Forcefield and it was causing me problems due to the length of it. It was riding up and hitting the back of my helmet. I needed a size small really.

    I recently bought a Knox Track Vest.. That feels pretty good but there's just not enough room in the leathers for it.

    You should have kept the comfy Berik 42

    You can buy underpants with bottom booster gel pads in these days.....

    Saggy arse sorted :cool:
    ( might take some explaining to the paramedics if you a have a small off tho :D )

    You could get your existing ones altered, loads of good leather alteration people round the country. I used one down here, but a local one would be better for you.
