1pc Suit Fitment Question

soccerpimp09 · 04-11-2008, 03:42 PM

So i just got my teknic suit in today - and I was wondering if she fit me okay - because everything feels great until i sit up straight - it pulls really tight - like im too tall for it - really tight in the crotch - but when im leaned over - like on the bike - it feels perfect.. if it were any longer the legs and sleeves would be too long... this shouldnt be an issue since I'll be on the bike 90% of the time i have it on.. right?

I just got the Chicane (which I assume is the same one you have, they seem to be everywhere lately), and mine fits that way too. Its not crushing the twins, but its a little snug when standing really straight. Luckily the crotch-panels are stretchy. Feels fine on the bike though. I wouldn't worry.

Sadly... that's how you know they fit well! My first trackday, I was so embarrassed with the boys all hurt-up the way they were. But suits are made for riding... not standing.

^ yup, my trick which didn't take very long was to just ride around town in the thing and eventually everything will fit into place... yea the jewels are cramped when standing straight however like you mentioned everything it a-ok when seated... to break it in even faster after work jump in the suit and just chill in it, I've been playing forza in it, should be playing motogp

lol i just asked the same question. and all teh resonses i got back are that thats the way its supposed to fit. I got a fieldsheer radar. went for a ride with it on and holy shit its so much more comfortable than jeans and a jacket.

i dont think they are made for riding. they are made for crashing. i would be afraid that in a crash, as your body goes into a prone postion, your nuts get squished.

I've been wearing em around the house - playing tourist trophy and stuff -lol - neighbors looked at me like i was retarded when I went out to get something out of my car... - but i'm glad thats how their supposed to fit - feels fit sitting on the bike - my boots come in tomorrow - so i havent gotten to try riding when it on yet - but i can't wait

Thanks for all the responses..

the fit sounds right... did you try it with a back protector? pics would be helpful to make sure... but as of now everything sounds right.

yo pimp is tourist trophy better than the 2006/07 MotoGP? and +1 on putting all your gear on ie back protector, undersuit etc and just sit around in it
