Fieldsheer Suits..

[HillbillyTom]

Anybody wear one? Prices are right (I can get 'em for a fair % less than listed) and the description looks to contain all the right stuff compared with A-stars, Spidi, etc.. I'm interested in the Flex version or maybe the Rufus (what were they smoking when they named it that?) 'Roo hide style. Any personal experience thoughts, input?

Well, guess I'll find out for myself.
I ordered a Flex suit today, should be in the know by next weekend.

i would never pay that much for off the rack.....ZCustom, NYK, and i am sure every other maker can get you into a basic custom suit for $1k, with full pads.

where you getting your prices? Full Fieldsheer Flex suit is around $600, compared to the $1k -$2k for Dainese, I think it is a smokin deal...

I've worn my Fieldsheer suit for 6 years. The only issue I've had was with the full body zipper,............it's nylon,............not metal. It will come apart if you go down. If you are racing or a very aggressive rider,.......get the one piece suit for the most safety. IF I had the cash to do it over,..........I'd go with a one piece suit. Unwise,.......no issues! Great price for the protection!!

Next time call me we do lots of fieldsheer closeouts.

Got it! Havn't had a chance to actually ride with it on yet, hoping for some better weather Sunday.
Since I'm 6'2" the shop ordered a 44 (large) though most of my measurements (waist, chest, inseam) are closer to a 42 (medium). Lucky call, it fits like a glove on all counts.
My first dealings with a 1 piece suit and I've noticed you have to be a contorsionist to get in and out of it. On isn't too hard, off takes some work.
But all in all, it's cool. Now I can finally do track days!
Backordered my new helmet but it should be here next week, maybe get a picture of my new wannabe racer geezer look then.

I would have a good 2 piece suit before I went with a 1 piece just because I can not wear a 1 piece all the time..

I have to be a functional working stiff and full leathers on calls does not work well. Not that I like or condone riding in slacks, it is just a fact of life for me. Not much in the way of highway speeds however..

About the only time I would wear a "full suit" is at Bash or if I could get some track days.. (either way , a very short part of my full riding time)
