woot -> RE: Joe Rocket close-outs: Teknic 2pc leather suit (6/26/2008 5:36:07 AM)
|
I am 6'' tall - I weigh in at 220 but I''m square as opposed to pot bellied (worth mentioning).
So the suit fits my back length really well. Hip to knee could be a 1/2" too long... but on the bike in a tuck that distance is fixed.
The leather is heavy - I mean an effort to hold up on a coat hanger. The packaging said 13lbs but that would be surprising to me.
The back pad is the generic foam stuff. I do wear a Bohn back plate, and it fits in the suit so I''ll keep wearing it.
The knees and elbows feel good - foam padding again, but a good thickness, covered by a good thick layer of leather. I''m not worried about it.
It is a 2pc suit, but it has a full zip, so you can treat it as a 1pc suit... I havent'' unzipped the two halves yet and put it on the same way I put a 1pc on.
The only question mark is 50 or a size smaller. That depends mostly on your back length, and too a lesser extend shoulder width. If you''re built like me, the 50. If you''re physically smaller, or shorter backed, then a size smaller would tighten up the rest of the suit. I''d like some parts to be a bit tighter honestly... but in position it''s good.
They are really good to deal with for returns as well...
