QuoteDefinitely the removable liner is a great thing. Our RS Taichi suits all have removable liners, then we wear Mawus inner suits. The Mawus suit slides against the removeable inner suit and provides exceptional movement with no sticking. Makes transitioning on the bike much easier.

Yep, I ordered my RS Taichi's from Rob at LM, along with my Mawus Suit (or Smurf Suit) and they are awesome...

I have no issues getting in or out of my leathers and it is really nice to be able to wash both the Smurf Suit and the inside Liner...

In addition to the Quality of the Suit's Liner the suit it's self is very flexable, crashes well, and is very very breathable.

My next suit with be another Taichi w/o hesitation  8)

Attached liner for me.

I'll wear cycling shorts and a work out top under the liner to remove moisture and get me out quick.  

There isn't a way to have a better moisture removing system other than having the product against your body.  It works well in summer and winter weather regardless keeping one more comfortable.

As for cleaning liners.  Well, you clean the liner, that's fine.

Still doesn't clean the leather suit.  That's a lot of mass to carry body salts and odor.  A lot more than the liner ever will hold.

I'm a big fan of UnderArmour as a liner- cheaper than the fancy-dancy Kushi stuff and works better.

If I had to make a complaint about any leathers I've owned, it would definitely be the non-removeabe liner, or one with openings in stupid places  (Hello, Vanson?  How the freak am I supposed to adjust knee armor through a 12-inch zipper above my butt?)

Super Dave

It's actually quite easy.  Open the zipper, reach down toward the knee inside the suit, grab the liner in a fist and move it away from the armor.  Grab the armor with that same hand and pull it off the heavy velcro and readjust it, remove it, what ever.

You left out a few steps, like:

-put suit on.
-guess where armor should be
-take suit off
-reach inside liner and move armor to where you guess it should be
-hope like hell you lined up the little velcro strips
-put suit on
-repeat
