That looks great under street clothes, but I need one under my track leathers. I don't need the arm protection. :chug:

I have the top of the A* one I bought off a local. It fits well and has a lot of adjustment to it. It needs to be broken in better before I can give an honest review of it, it's still real stiff.

I got the top of the line Astars one. Comes with shoulder straps and a waste band thing. I was worried about the fitment under my leathers because I like my leathers tight. But it still fit. Personaly, I like spine protectors. They help my form out. Line my upper with my lower. I don't have any complaints about it. It was right around 100 degrees that day too. Didn't bother me.

Fuck that. Get a 1-peice when the time comes. 1-peices FTW (gay).

I'll look into it... what's the advantage of a 1 piece over a two piece that zips together?

It stays together in a wreck.

didn't think 2 pieces separated that much in a wreck... I'll defiantly look into it

Just my opinion. A one peice is better than a two peice because there's a possibility the zipper will break and there's no zipper to break on a 1-peice. 1-peices are the only way IMO.

Bullshit. AAFES.com has a mall and there's a vender there that carries Astars shit. I bought my 1-peice for $550 new.

yup... doing it right now... fuck'n pissed though they don't have the cortech bags I want...
and their prices don't match what's listed... they say 15% discount... but one set of bags I put in there say 119 in the "catalog" but say 129 reduced to 110 in the cart... weird

Zippers can fail, and sliding off course there is more likelyhood of injury if something goes between the leather and the body (in the leathers). With a one piece that won't happen.

1 piece better on the track
2 piece more convenient for street riding.

I used a 2 piece for like 10 trackdays before I got a one piece.
On top of better protection, one piece suits just seem to be way more comfortable while in riding position.
