1 Piece Leather Riding Suits

[GrandpaBusa]

HELP!!!!
My New Years Resolution for 07, is to loose a few (many) pounds and buy, borrow or steal a 1 piece perferated leather riding suit. I don't want too endanger or freighten too many cows but am looking for a size 48/50.
What I'm looking for from members of the board are recommendations on which brands are good and which to avoid. I'm not looking to buy a full blown racing because I'm too old and slow but do ride slightly quick on the steet and may do a track day or 2 in 07.
Anyone wearing Fieldsheer leathers?? Have read some fair reviews but would like some actual user input on any and all brands. Hope to have slimmed down and have the suit for the Spring Bash.
Thanks in advance for any and all recommendations.

I have a few suits and none of them fit right for me there all made for taller people, so the best way if your not a hardcore racer is go with 2 piece suits. You can buy a top and bottom to fit you and zip them together. The other thing I like about doing this way is when you stop for a rest you can take the top off and cool down. Taking a one piece suit off is no fun. I have Joe Rocket, Teknic, Franklin Thomas and Firstgear suits and at 5' 8" they really don't fit me right in a one piece.
