I'm thinking about doing a track day sometime before the season is over and am considering what gear I'll need to get. I've been riding for about 14 months now and I don't own any leather yet. I've been wearing a Gericke textile jacket and I've been wanting to get a leather jacket for the street as well.
So, what I am wondering is, should I get some sort of two piece suit so I can wear the jacket when I'm doing casual street riding? Is it a big sacrifice in safety to take a two piece suit to the track rather than a one piece? Whichever way I go, I want to have a leather jacket for the street so if I buy a one piece suit, I'll buy a separate jacket as well.
Does anybody have recommendations on specific brands and/or models of gear I should get? I'd like to keep it all under $1000 whether that be a one piece suit and a separate jacket or a two piece setup.
