Leather Suit Questions and Differences

[Gixxerblade]

I really like my Moto GP Roo suit. I have gone down in it twice and can't even tell that has hit the pavement. I had an AGV suit that spent more time on the pavement then on the bike with no problems. So I bought the next step up and the first low slide the thing came a part. Give Rob a call at Lithium a call he has several brands and sizes in stock. You will not beat his prices

You seem to be one of the few lucky ones. My suit got tore the hell up after one helluva crash.  didn't expect it to happen to one of those "roo" suits.

i have crashed the heck out of the top line teknic suites for a few years, including a 165mph crash in nascar 4 at daytona leathers destroyed, no skin damaged (except severe burn on shoulder from friction heat), no skin showing after wreck Teknic rules, i have also had good luck with the good AGV set and the joe rocket best set
go with a one piece though.

I have heard of several MotoGP roo suits shredding.  I looked into the same thing when buying mine.  This is why I went with the standard cow.  Not sure what the weight difference is but it seems fine when I'm on the bike.

I would not want to run a mile in either!

Pete, should've called me...I could've taken care of you on the MX1 for much cheaper.

I race in an Alpinestars Race Replica suit. I crashed at Daytona on the back straight heading toward the chicane during qualifying for the 200 4th gear pinned. No rash or painful injury. Excellent suit. I stock Alpinestars products as well as Moto GP and have raced and crashed in both. You do get what you pay for, but I do believe the Moto GP suit is an excellent suit for the price point. I have had no suit failures or problems from either brand personally but I have had a Dianese suit come apart on me the first weekend I used it without even falling down.
