Hey all, this suit was bought brand new about 2-3 months ago, and used literally and unfortunately once. It was my first trackday and ended up going down and dislocating my thumb so i won''''''''t be on the track again anytime soon so i''''''''m putting this up for sale. Any questions pm or email me thanks.
400 obo, retails at ~650. Info from A* site: http://www.alpinestars.com/Octane_Suit/pd/np/131/p/315607.html

With my broken thumb the most i could do was clear the dust off, i haven''t really tried to rub the black stuff off, but i''m sure with some leather polisher/cleaner it would look better.

I''m 5''10'''' 175-180 lbs. athletic build, had a tiny bit of room around the belly but height wise was just right.

im 5''10 185 with a 32/33 waist, I guess athletic build as well. Seems like it should fit, but I need some bike stands first. I am interested but not until I can round up some other parts for winter. Good luck with the sale and i may PM you in a while if I can get the money together.

im 6ft, 185, would this be way to snug on me? people say that the suits will stretch some more, how much trueth is in that? iv put on size 44 suits before that seemed to fit, but whats your thoughts?

6 ft might crunch your balls a little if you have a long torso, but weight wise you''d be alright. Yes, it is true, new leather will tend to be tight but once worn for a while will stretch. It''s basically like skin adapting to bigger body weight. And this suit definitely has room to grow. I have a buyer for 360 shipped, if you can beat that then it''s yours.

my teknic suit is a 44, according to the alpinestars page, the US 42 suit is for a 6'' / and the US 44 is for a 6''1" . (crunch the balls, well i think all suits do that when ur standing up.)
