Also their leather feels really soft & supple. There's a lot of Alpinestars and Shift that feels really stiff, like cardboard.
BTW I think RS Taichi is the only one with the silk-screen technique.......and they only put in on their $1200+ suits, not the $800-1200 ones.

I agree on fewer pieces=better crash protection. Dainese and several other companies use a separate piece of leather for every color. Icon layers the colors on and Kush and you say RS silk screens the colors on. I don't know for sure but in my "crazy" mind, I've crashed Icon, Dainese, A*, Joe Rocket, Technic and AGV and my Icon stood up the best. Of course every crash is different so...

The only suits I've seen in person that go over boots are flat track race suits....
