Great video guys :) Very informative and helpful as all your videos are. This has definitely helped me understand sizing and types of fit. I'm about 176lbs (79-80kgs), 182cm, athletic type build and based on my own measurements using A*'s guide, I think I'm either a Euro 50 or a 52. I feel more confident with sizing especially seeing how these sizes fit Eric in the video. Thanks again for posting this up and keep up the great work!
@@sportbiketrackgear I'm 5'11 185 and got a 52 euro, stiff still and quite snug. I have 52 jacket that felt snug and now is roomy. Race suits stretch out much?
Thanks for this. I am going to a track day later this year and I need to buy a suit but I am not the normal size guy. 6 3 and 300 pounds I am in the process of dropping some weight.
Awesome vid mate, currently trying a new suit, but being 6'3 and 13 stonne (UK weight sorry don't know in lbs) I'm finding my 56" a little tight around the crown jewels area, im on the verge of sending it back and trying a 58" I know it will stretch a little but there ain't much room for chest/back protection. Do you think a 58 euro would work or will it be to baggy around the arms and legs? Or am I that in between size and need a custom fit? Thanks Van, keep the informative vids coming, they are a very useful tool.
You need to sit on the bike when you try it on as it is designed to be worn on the bike an not while standing. Make sure to wear all of the same protection under it you would when riding as well. At 182 lbs and 6' 3" I think a 58 would be too large in most of the suits we offer here at STG. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear Cheers for the reply, the suit I was trying was a Armr Harada R. I found it way too tight for my height. Must be made for the smaller European's 😉 anyways went to my local dealer here in Scotland an purchased a set of RST Trachtech Evo R 1piece suit in a size 44/54 and I must say the fit and comfort is awesome. Ordered the boots and gloves to match. Thanks Van for the guide 😉 The RST brand is great bang for buck 🤟🏼
If they offered Short Regular and Tall sizes for starters.. I would send off to Pakistan for a custom made but I don't think they use the stretchy material like Alpine Star and many others do ..
A few of the brands have experimented with different lengths over the years and the sales volume of the short and tall suits just did not support the cost to do so. That said all of the suits offer a little different fit and we are able to get most riders into a good fitting suit. Worst case scenario is have some minor alterations made to an off the rack suit. - Van
I’m 6”0, 205 pounds with broad shoulders and chest so the only one that fits me right around my chest and shoulders is the 58 but do notice the lower back side is loose

I’m looking at getting my first suit for mainly street riding but also drag strip. I’m 6’2 and 175lbs. In physically good shape about the same size as the model in video. What size would your team recommend? Looking at getting a sedici suit due to affordability.
I'm having huge issue finding a suit that fits me race fit without danger of being contricted to death. I wore a A* 40/50 but gained weight (belly) so had to get rid of it. I have a Berik that is size 54 but is little too big for me (more of a comfort fit I guess it would be). I could probably have custom suit made but it just costs too much. Im currently on a diet but I'm 5"10 192 lbs, belly/waist is 103cm (around 40). My goal is to fit back into 42/52.
What size would you recommend for a 14 year old that's 150 pounds @ 5.5 feet tall. He wears a medium men's t-shirt. Could you give me a link to a medium priced suit that you recommend? Thanks for the information!
Here are a couple of options. The Alpinestars is likely to fit the best, the RST may be a little to the big side for him now. I would suggest a size 38 Euro in both.

How many suits on average do you'll keep in stock?? Might make a trip one day. I measured one time and bought a custom build suite. I added an extra inch in every measurement and it still was just a hair to small. I cannot move around on the bike at all. Needless to say that was a big wast of $$$$$$$$$ I will never buy again unless I can try b4 I buy.

Hi STG informative video 👍 looking at race fit on the atem suit height 6ft 169lb 40inch chest athletic build was looking at a 52 euro but just after a bit of extra help thanks 👍
Both are safe IMO. Myself I prefer the "Race Fit" and do not mind breaking the suit in. If you intend to use additional armor or thicker, more protective armor "Comfort Fit" is the way to go. I would also say that is safer as you have added the layers of protection. If you do not intend to use slimmer armor or just a back protector then the "Race Fit" is the way to go. - Van
I’m the same size, 6’1” 160lbs. Ordered the RST STG EVO 4. I’m fitting this suit between Comfort Suit/Too Loose. I checked the website, and the size EU 50 is out of stock. I don’t want a white suit. How quickly can you guys restock the EVO 4?
What trackfit euro size would you recommend for 5'11, 160 lb athletic build, 40 chest. size 50? i tried a mugello r d air size 48 and could barely zip it up
IMO 48 euro is too small for you in most suits. In some suits I would put you in a 52 Euro, others a 50 Euro. All of the suits tend to run a little different. Shoot us an email at orders@sportbiketrackgear.com when you are ready and the team will help you select the right size. - Van
Hey Brian, got some questions.I want to buy the Laguna Seca 4 Race 1-piece suit, it's going to be my first race suit so I don't have any experience, I've checked the size chart on Dainese's website and all my measurements indicate I'm a size 58, except for the inseam which for a size 58 is 86-87cm (33.85-34.25 inches) while my inseam measurement is 80cm (31.49 inches) so a 6-7cm (2.36-2.76 inch) difference. Would this be a deal breaker in your opinion? Would there be too much excess material just hanging around in the pants area or would it disappear once I get in the tuck position? Would the pants being too long affect the way the knee protectors would sit on the knees? Or can they be moved by hand in order for them to sit dirrectly on the knees? Thanks alot!
Hi STG, what is the slimmest profile chest protector you have? I just squeeze into the rs taichi s207 and knox aegis I got from you recently and don't want to stress the seams too much as it is already a tight race fit! Thanks.
RS Taichi Flex Chest Protector Search this on our site and go with the 4mm thick model. Slim but still very protective. BTW thanks for the business, most appreciated! - Brian Van

So i have a problem i have long legs and it is hard for me to find a suit that fits to my legs and torso sometimes is fits to my legs but not the torso and reverse
Every suit is cut a little different from another model or brand. You will most likely need to go to a shop (like ours) that stocks a lot of suits and try some one. - Van
To be fair not all suits fit the same. I would recommend a size 38 Euro in most of the suits we offer. For more specific sizing information please reach out to the team at orders@sportbiketrackgear.com Let them know which suit you are interested in and they will get you sorted out. - Van
Hi Brian can I just get your opinion on something ! I recently took delivery of a size 48 Laguna secs perf 1 piece, I've tried it on just twice and it is a tight snug fit, and in crouch position it seems right BUT when I'm standing in it the leg length goes 3/4 of the way down my shin ! Is that normal that the leg length appears short when standing !!!
You will be a size 56 Euro in most of the suits out there. Some fit a little differently so it would be best to work with the team before you make the purchase. You can reach us at 888.784.4327 or orders@sportbiketrackgear.com - Van

Manuel Cantos Please shoot us an email to Orders@sportbiketrackgear.com and one of the guys can over the sizing with you in a little more detail. The measurements help but height, weight, build and riding style all have to be taken into consideration when getting a proper fit. Thanks!! ~Aubrey

I would start in a 36 Euro and see how it fits. To take up some of the extra space I would suggest a thick back protector, padded shorts and a chest protector. - Van
If you could get an inflatable air vest to wear under the suit might be a good fit.. Add some Velcro straps that can be looped and cinched down externally . Many Jackets and pants have Velcro straps on the sides in the waist area
Join a Gym eat more often at McDonalds.. When I was in 10th grade I was 5'4" 115 pounds and a little Chubby .. I joined Cross Country Running Team I got down to 105# and my chest increased 4" Nothing helped my wrestling more than running Cross Country .. it increased my cardio and stamina so much .. I was lucky to be running when my body was still growing..
You want the suit to fit snug but not overly tight where it restricts movement. We can always help walk you through sizing before purchase and then once you have it to ensure it is the correct fit. Thanks! ~Aubrey
***** Some riders do not like the suit tight and get distracted while wearing it because they are not comfortable. A suit that is a little looser may cause a friction burn, but I do not believe it would blister. When a rider is comfortable they ride better which reduces the possibility of a crash. - Van

This isn't what ppl are looking for, all u did was show somthing that fits, somthing that's to small and to big... all of this was completely obvious. Ppl are searching for measurements to size of hight and weight, (the numbers) not why to small or to big is bad, I'm starting to hate the internet.
We sell more race suits than any other shop you will find. None of the measurements mean anything because all of the size charts are useless.

Hey is it rude to size a suit in a place where you have no intentions of buying? My gut says that's a dickish thing to do, right? How else am I gonna get my size in person? The dealerships are absolutely tripping, money wise, and that's the only place I can find something like that where I live? They're like a whole top-shelf helmet off in price. So is that being a dick?

I am typically a 56 Euro in most suits and now wear a 54 Euro in the updated models. I would bet the suit you have offers that new fit pattern so the 50 would fit more like a 52. If you want to send some pictures to have us take a look we can do that. service@sportbiketrackgear.com is my address. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear alright yeah this suit don't have the inside cuffs, but rather zips closed with outside leather cuffs
I am about 5'6" tall.. my chest is 40cm. What would be the size for me?? Alpinestar and dainese

Manuel Cantos Please shoot us an email to Orders@sportbiketrackgear.com and one of the guys can over the sizing with you in a little more detail. The measurements help but height, weight, build and riding style all have to be taken into consideration when getting a proper fit. Thanks!! ~Aubrey
This is good stuff because Im looking but scared to buy a suit.... 6'2 170lbs long an lanky :) .....never had a suit
In most suits I would start you in a size 54 euro. If you want more specific info please email us at orders@sportbiketrackgear.com or call us on 1-888-784-4327 and the team will get you dialed in. - Van
6’0 145lbs 30inch waist
While every suit can be a little different I would suggest a size 38 US/48 Euro in most models. - Van
I'm 5'4 200 lbs, would a 56 Euro be good for me in Alpinestars? thanks :o)
That would be the place to start. Your challenge will be length of the sleeves and legs.
i just go down the size im in in a jacket, i.e 58 jacket, so 56 suit.
How is Bryan 5'11 and the other guy is 6 feet but Bryan is taller?
It is the camera angle and where I stand as compared to where Eric is standing. He is just a tickle taller than me. - Van
What would you recommend for me I'm 5"9. 110 pounds 😂 basically a noodle
I would start in a 36 Euro and see how it fits. To take up some of the extra space I would suggest a thick back protector, padded shorts and a chest protector. - Van
If you could get an inflatable air vest to wear under the suit might be a good fit.. Add some Velcro straps that can be looped and cinched down externally . Many Jackets and pants have Velcro straps on the sides in the waist area
Join a Gym eat more often at McDonalds.. When I was in 10th grade I was 5'4" 115 pounds and a little Chubby .. I joined Cross Country Running Team I got down to 105# and my chest increased 4" Nothing helped my wrestling more than running Cross Country .. it increased my cardio and stamina so much .. I was lucky to be running when my body was still growing..
@@mikeskidmore6754 lol, nobody cares about your history
Couldn't he have gone even smaller to a size 48?
How do you know when the suit is too small?
You want the suit to fit snug but not overly tight where it restricts movement. We can always help walk you through sizing before purchase and then once you have it to ensure it is the correct fit. Thanks! ~Aubrey
Awesome channel.
+michael milligan Thanks!
I'll take the suit on the left
+Goofy Goonie Cal might be upset...
I have a 54 Atem...im 181cm and 89 kilos athletic...id say its preety snugg LOL
The comfort fit suit will create blisters from the suit rubbing his skin in an off....50 would have been ideal if he'd have wanted a less snug fit
***** Some riders do not like the suit tight and get distracted while wearing it because they are not comfortable. A suit that is a little looser may cause a friction burn, but I do not believe it would blister. When a rider is comfortable they ride better which reduces the possibility of a crash. - Van
How comes Motorcycle Drag racers wear Leather suits with no Sliders.. Is that because they are old school had them for a long time?
You're not dragging your knee when you're going in a straight line are you?
They are not cornering low my man.
@@sportbiketrackgear I thought sliders are to slide on when you crash too the ones on shoulders and elbows ect.. I thought track racers only dragged their knees not their shoulders on the pavement ..
@@langdon04 Did you ever crash and smash your knees on the Pavement ? I hot a Deer this summer going 50 MPH was wearing Work pants.. now I have holes in the knees.. the material got so hot it turned Brown on my thighs ect..
I am sorry for your Low IQ and lack of ability to think about whey street riding pants have knee pads.. hip pads and tail bone pads..
Do you Drag your Tail bone in the corners on a Road Course ? No Of course not then why do they put Tail Bone Pads in a Race Suit .. DRAG RACERS SEEM TO BE WEARING OLD SCHOOL LEATHERS THAT DON'T HAVE KNEE PADS ELBOW PADS SHOUDER PADS.. HIP PADS ECT THEY ARE GOING 250 MILES PER HOUR.
YOU SCARE ME . YOU SEEM TO HAVE THE INTELIGENCE OF SOME ONE WHO DRIVES A LIFTED PICKUP TRUCK WITH AN OPEN BEER BETWEEN YOUR LEGS WHILE TEXTING..
@@sportbiketrackgear I see the Third fastest bike racer on earth @ 1/4 mile 252 MPH does have braces on the shoulders and elbows.. but in some of the lower speed classes.. it looks like they are wearing old School leather suits like from the 1970's .. an older friend sold me a pair of Leather Motocross pants..

Um...
5'11" 225lbs. 36" waist
We like tacos and tequila in Texas. 🤣🤷♂️
I'm not sure if European sizes account for that
Take a look at the RST Race Suits. They offer a more American cut. - Van
The race suit on the first guy is too big......48 would have been ideal
This isn't what ppl are looking for, all u did was show somthing that fits, somthing that's to small and to big... all of this was completely obvious. Ppl are searching for measurements to size of hight and weight, (the numbers) not why to small or to big is bad, I'm starting to hate the internet.
We sell more race suits than any other shop you will find. None of the measurements mean anything because all of the size charts are useless. Each of the suits offer a different fit when compared to each other even in the same size. If you need help with sizing on a suit shoot us a call to 1-888-784-4327 or email to orders@sportbiketrackgear.com and the team will get you dialed in.
On our site and channel there are tons of race suit reviews where we cover sizing for each model. Find a suit you like then reach out and we will help you. - Van
Hey is it rude to size a suit in a place where you have no intentions of buying? My gut says that's a dickish thing to do, right? How else am I gonna get my size in person? The dealerships are absolutely tripping, money wise, and that's the only place I can find something like that where I live? They're like a whole top-shelf helmet off in price.
So is that being a dick?
You would not be the first person to have done this. - Van
If you need more than a 54 Euro race suit you don't belong on a sportbike, especially racing.
That's what Cruisers are for.
Man I have seen some dudes that wear a size 60 Euro that are faster than almost every rider on the track. - Van
