When I put the jacket it, the jacket barely goes past my belly button, but the pants go all the way up to zip up and it actually fits pretty well. Its a bit big in the legs cause im tall and skinny. Size is a 54(44) and im 6'1 175lbs.
This this is hot as hell too, i dont see how you guys wear these during the summer at track days. And its really stiff right now, hopefully i can break it in with something

I've heard that using glove oil (baseball glove) is pretty good for breaking the suits in and softening up the leather.

Is it normal to not be able to wear the jacket by itself? That was my initial plan, but im a belly dancer with it on. The pants steve urkle me but it fits and its pretty comfortable

yes it is normal. 2pc suit jackets are cut higher that a street jacket. As for the heat. Looks like you got a perforated suit. When you ride it will flow air.

Yeah, its preforated really well.. didnt ride on the street tho, do people do that? lol
What is usually worn underneath? wife beater and boxers or what?
One more thing, the jacket fits pretty snug, I like that. But I dont know if I can fit a back protector in there, is it recommended? If so any suggestions?

You actually want to put something between your skin and the suit, even though it might seem like it would be hotter with more fabric. Get some UnderArmour (or the generic version) that wicks away moisture. It'll help keep you cool and it'll also keep the lining of the suit from sticking to you and possibly chafing.

I wear my suit every time I ride. Remember it is leather so it will stretch some as it breaks in so a back protector should fit in ok. Under armour works well. Or boxers and a t-shirt.

Couldnt really beat the price of $480, it came in today. Looks really nice and of good quality. But what do I know this is my first suit.

I love the flex suit, thats the one pat had me try on. If i think its the softest suit i've felt so far.

the flex suit is actually a few hundred more....but for $480 for your 2 piece.....it's a great first suit imo.

dude dont sweat it, the a* was the one i wanted, the only reason my dad bought me the fieldsheer one is because thats what was on the search query on my cpu in galveston. Trust me, you got an amazing deal, prolly wont see one like that soon.
