Hey there,
I don't want to come off like an asshole so please know that anything I say is meant to be helpful. Here's the deal, those leathers WILL NOT PROTECT YOU at ANY SPEED OVER 30 to 40 mph! DO NOT WASTE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY! We at Geared Up Moto have crash tested nearly every type of suit out there. I recommend that you either buy a used suit off of WERA, Craigslist or Ebay. Good quality name brands to look for are Alpinestars, Taichi, Arlen Ness, Pilot, Revit, Dianese, and Cortech! The rest of the suits are 99% junk! Also, make sure that the suit you purchase isn't more than 5 years old. The leather starts to dry rot and at that point unless the suit has been continually cleaned and conditioned, the suit's stitching and leather both are structurally compromised.
Cheap suit $199, Skin graft $100,000, High quality used suit $399, Crashing and walking away with a smile on your face, PRICELESS!
Another option is to stop out to our shop and I can find you a used suit. We have one out here, its just a matter of finding one in your size. Otherwise, if you have a down payment we may be able to get you into a new high quality suit at a fair price.
Again, I hope you understand I am only trying to help/educate you on your purchase. I dont care if you purchase from us, as long as you have safety equipment that is actually going to protect you when you go down. We are all about safety here, not profit. Please call, email or PM me with any questions. Thank you.
Your Friends,

So what you are saying is, you have bought these suits and they are garbage?
I agree with Geared up moto. This is one of the things you dont want to short cut.Spend the extra money and get a good reliable suit. The last thing you want to do is go down and have to worry about your suit burning through or ripping!

I have a size 34 shift race pant that you can have for $25, I only wore them a few times and decided they were too much to deal with when commuting to work so I bought over pants.
I can probably find the knee pucks and I will also need to locate the shin armor...
All you will need is a jacket that will zip up to the pants. Any seamstress can do that but it may be a fairly cheap option so you can get on the track.
