Leathers, 1 piece or 2?

Sun Mar 06, 2005 1:17 pm

I'm going to get myself some leathers and am trying to decide one peice or two. Just after your opinions. Track days will be a rarity as I have to get to Brisbane to do one, so I was thinking two piece as I can wear the pants and my summer jacket to stay a little cooler on highway stints.

I've always thought 2 piece were more versitile and I've cast my vote that way, however, for the last year I no longer commute by bike so I find I always wear my 2 piece as a suit. not separate ever any more.

If you do go for a 2 piece make sure the jacket is long enough to wear on its own, some of them are cut quite high to suit the pants they zip into.

Really who needs a 1 piece :?: ...........unless you are racing . Trackdays..........again how many trackdays a year do you/anyone do? Got to think of the practical side of things when choosing a suit.

I had the same thought recently and went with the 2-pc.

I found i always wore my last 2-pc suit as a suit, but it's always good to have the additional versatility in case you might need it.

Yep make sure they can zip together so you can do track days. 8)

buy a two piece, you can wear the pants with a bigger jacket in winter an the jacket with jeans.

most clubs will even let you race with 2 piece anyway.

2 Piece is definately the way to go... I wear just the jacket through the week and jacket and pants on the weekends... 8)

2 piece would be a better option, because u can wear it as a 1 piece suit or just the jacket.

The odd one out on the votes is me - I meant to vote 2 pc for practicality, but a dirty spot on my trackball meant the cursor jumped on me :(
So go 2pc - you have a unanimous vote.
