Teknic suits actually have a rep for busting seems easily. A lot of track guys had a ton of bad experiences with them. I believe Kyle owns that suit and has used it a few times in testing, I think he may have had a seem bust, but I can't remember for sure.

Not a scratch on me though, and I truly think that the suit saved my ass from spending a few weeks in the hospital. None of the stiching broke.

The one spot that has worn more than expected is the velcro for the knee slider. I might have at one point worn through a slider and been rubbing the velcro against asphault, but all that happened bad was that the velcro got torn up a little.

Overall I highly recomend it. Great price for a very good suit. I'll try to take some pics of the damage areas in a few and post them

Thanks,I appreciate the help. For $300 it's har to pass up. besides,if I wear it 10 times,it'll be a miracle. On the other hand if I get a A* I might wear it more because,well I like the looks of it better to be honest. We'll see what happens,thanks again.

Thanks Bro. I really like A* gear and as I've said,I might actually wear that suit. Besides,it'll match my boots. tee hee..

This is the damage to the ass from sliding on it at maybe 30 mph

Th damage to the knee from thinking I still had some knee puck left

The knee armour (there is about 1/4" of leather around this thing, plus another 1/4" of padding on the inside

The elbow armour, just a 1/2" thick piece of foam, but there is another 1/2" of leather built into the suit. the same type of padding is on the hips and the back. During both my wrecks neither area felt like it was in any pain, even though the highside ended with a rather abrupt ending against the curb stopping me cold breaking some ribs and my collar bone (a driect hit on my upper arm is where i hit).

The A* looks like something that Buck Rogers would wear!

That dude has no ass in that pic.

What's the differences between the styles of those suits...and why that particular one?

Amazing, looks too good to be true, yet for some reason i just don't think i can trust them, its just a little too good to be true. Especially teh little not at the bottom of the page that says over seas company. My mind automatically think that this is a website done get a bunch of orders quick then stall as long as possible and keep brining in money then up and dissapear.

But if it's true let me know I might just go ahead and get a new suit myself

This also scares me a little

Also check sportbiketrackgear. They have a few a* suits for 499 and may still do their 15% off on those too, not sure if theyll do it on clearance stuff.
