Re: What leathers do you have?

Alpinestars GPU 2 piece. I love it. But if I had to do it again I would have gotten the 1 piece because I've only worn the jacket without the pants once.

I have a Komodo Pro one piece. Awesome protection and fits like a glove. The suit's look is sweet. I get alot of compliments on it.

Height really doesnt matter. The larger waisted pants are roughly 29" inseams. When you fit pants you want them to come to the top of the ankle. Theres really no company specifically making tall mens pants that I know of beside I think Joe Rocket. I think a 29" inseam would probably fit your decent with boots that is.

Re: What leathers do you have?

I got the JR GPX, its cut real big. but for the price i paid (385 at the time) it was the best out there.

i just picked up the new alpinestars Vector suit. its MUCH better than the JR. fits better and feels a lot better, but it was about 350 bucks more expensive. worth it i guess..

if youre a slim person then i wouldnt go for the JR, i swim in mine and its the proper size.

How did you get it for $247? It's listed for $500. Is that the price if you call them? Also how long ago did you get it? Thank you

I have this jacket...

and these pants...

I also have a textile jacket, but I rarely wear it since I got the leather. I'm also going to buy this 1 piece when I have some spare cash.

I love mine. Highly recommend it. The jacket fits like a glove and looks to be very well constructed. Also since the whole front is perforated it keeps very cool in the summer, but is still good in cooler temps if you keep the liner in.
