Race Suit Comfort Fit VS. Race Fit

- Опубликовано: 10 дек 2015
- One of the main questions we get is questions about fit. Here we do a quick comparison of a comfort fit and a race fit. Our marketing manager Dalton is wearing a Dianese Trickster EVO C2 Race Suit in a size 54 Euro, which gives him a snug race fit. He also wears a Dianese Veloster Race Suit in a size 56, which gives him more of a comfort fit. Dalton is 6'1", about 190 lbs. with a 34 inch waist. If you have any questions about fitment, call our sales staff at 888.784.4327 or leave a comment and we will do our best to answer any questions you have.

This video really helped me decide between a 50 and 52. 50 really was tight more along the “race fit” guidelines that I would need to break it in and I didn’t love it since it was a bit tight in the thighs. Since I would be wearing this suit for long days and living in it on the street mostly I opted for the 52 for a little more breathing room and comfort. If I started track riding, I’d definitely go buy a 50. Loved the video. Thank you for the help!
Ur shirts race fit then 🤪👍✌️
For sure the only way to wear it...
I appreciate you guys SO MUCH
and we appreciate all of our customers. Without you all we would not be here. - Van
Thanks just might do that
that race fit button up tho
Impressive looking motorcycle race suit.
Short and simple, Great
Thanks for watching! - Van
Grate explanation, thanks!
I like the way you show me everything happens for us together
No worries, thanks for watching. - Van
Super helpful. I’m 5,11 - 190lbs I purchased a Large size, not sure about the numbers but 3 days to break in, gentleman package must be tucked left of right, I stand straight very carefully! Ouch! Riding on the bike though it’s very comfy and gives me a sense of security and protection. Ride safe!
All that matters is how it fits when you are on the bike riding man. To many times a rider will try the suit on and never sit on the bike to evaluate the fit. - Van
i,m manufacturar of racing suit gloves and boot
Completely agree with you on having to be careful with standing up straight and having to choose a side lol.
Thanks for the video! Im same size as Dalton roughly and have been wearing size 50 Dainese. Talk about racefit!! Just bought size 56 instead.
No worries, thanks for watching! - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear hey Van!!... great video!!.. im 6'2 240.. just bought the alpinestars missle jacket in 56... feels good but feels a little tight in the armpits...should i sz up?? Or it should stretch out a little bit...cheers!!🇨🇦
I’m 5’9 about 175-190 fluctuate due to bodybuilding athletic shape I bought a EU52 it’s really tight but perfect for my height, I hope it breaks in and gives me some room for future growth as it’s your typical race fit at the minute
All suits will stretch a bit as you spend time riding and sweating in the suit. - Van
that helped me so much. I have the Dainese in the size 58. She is great, size 56 is skin tight. and I think the 56 will be better, tighter on the chest but the protectors fit better.
Happy to hear it was helpful and thanks for watching! - Van
Awesome 👏
Thank you for watching. - Van
how do you break em in? i have a 2pc suit and on the bike n with my knee out its tight. pants are lightly used , jacket is broken in
Just bought a size 50 on Alpinestar missile . I’m 5’10” 160lbs. It fits like a glove. Pulls me in to that race tuck. It’s tight. But mobility in the arms could be an issue. I’m going to exchange for a 52.
If you do not feel like you can move unrestricted in the suit exchange it. - Van
i fit a euro 46 besides height and arms- i fit a euro 50 (in height) and a euro 58 (in arms). i think the sizing difference is too extreme. is my only option to size up completely? i currently have a suit that's too large and i'd like a better fit but i don't know what size will compensate for my arm length and height
God bless you Dalton you happen to be same height weight and waist size as me 😂
Dalton says your're welcome. - Van
Me too 😂 I think I'm gonna roll with the size 54 though.
Hey Brian, always appreciate the videos. With all the new suits out since this video, any recommendations for my son who is 6’2” and a thin 175 lbs? He races an R6 and the typical 42 is not long enough and the 44 flaps in the wind. Anyone make a really lean 44/54? We bought an In-Motion interior air vest to give us more options, but also have the TechAir zip-in. Custom suits are kinda spendy for as often as these kids like to perforate them.
Thanks for the help.
The length on the Alpinestars suits should not be an issue for him. I would recommend a 52 Euro in the models Alpinestars offers currently. You should be able to use either vest with one of the Tech Air Race compatible suits in their catalog. - Van
Hello Van,
I am huge fan of your videos. Sometimes spent a day watching tham as motorcycling is my new hobby. It is great that you try to help people out not just selling thinks. What size suits do you recommend for a guy 5'8.5'' 149 pounds athletic body type (chest 41-42, waist 33,2 and hip 34,8)? I am looking for comfort fit 1 piece suit, the two models that I liked based on your reviews are RST Tratech Evo III and Alpinestars.
Thanks in advance.
Greatings from Bulgaria.
I would put you in a 48 Euro in the RST and a 50 Euro in most Alpinestars. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear I mean Alpinestars Motegi :)
What size did you end up getting? I am same height as you but 5 lbs heavier i got 48 and its super snug lol its race fit for me
Great video. Question: with the advent of airbags how does one correctly choose a race type fit yet still be confident there is enough room for the airbag to deploy? I've tried on suits (size 56) that fit very well (race fit snug across chest-43") and I don't see how the airbag can deploy without knocking the wind out of me. Any suggestions? Waist is 37" BTW and 6' tall 195lbs
For the Alpinestars airbags the suit either needs to be airbag compatible (many from Astars already are now) or it has to have 4cm of additional space to allow for a deployment. For the airbag ready suits there is no need to adjust sizing. With suits that are not airbag ready or do not offer a lot of stretch panels you may need to go up one size. - Van
I’m 5’9” 230lbs with a 38” waist. Nothing fits me right because of my bulk. Dainese used to make short and tall sizes but none right now apparently
You need to check out the Spidi Replica Piloti Wind Pro Robust Leather Suit. This suit should fit you, we have a video showing how it is cut as compared to a standard suit. Here is a link to it on our site: www.sportbiketrackgear.com/spidi-replica-piloti-wind-pro-robust-leather-suit/
Love Dianese. Excellent quality and style.
Have a Dianese which I had bought when I had my Ninja. Sold that crap bike but still have the sexy jacket which I use with my vintage 81 Honda CB 750C ;)
Rahm Menon Calling Ninja crap bike lol 😂
Bora Sed - mine was a 250cc..lol. It's crappy 🤣
So what ? I bet you couldn't ride the bike to its full potential. A good rider can rape bigger bikes with a 250 on track and twisties. Its not the bike its the rider.
Bora Sed - you are probably right
@@dirkvalentine7297 The MT-07 is definitely a better bang for the buck.
How low should the knee pads be? The suits looked like they’re really low.
I have an XL and I might need to get it sewn up a bit tighter and shorter to fit more a Large.
thank you
Your knee cap should be in the cup of the knee armor. If it is not that could be an issue if you crash. - Van
the stretching textile on side body and arms and on the crotch make us possible to wear fit suit. if there is no textile like old fasion, it will require big time to break them in. so keep it in my.
The fabric stretch panels are a must IMO. - Van
I bought an A-stars Missile Suit size 54 Euro, the A-stars seem to run smaller than other brands, I’m 5’10 165lbs and I’d say it’s a race fit, pretty snug but not uncomfortable, my only concern is the length of the sleeves mine come up short just like in this video and my gauntlet gloves barley go over the suit is this normal?
The 54 should fit you really well. If you feel the sleeves are a bit short I would suggest trying a glove with a longer gauntlet. Racer offers some models with longer gauntlets. Here is a link to that brand on our site: www.sportbiketrackgear.com/racer/?_bc_fsnf=1&Product=Gauntlet+Gloves
5'11 and weigh 175, my waist is a 33.5' and I have a 37' inch chest. Should a Euro 50 be fine in say a Dainese Racing 3 Race jacket?
I would suggest a 52 for a tight fit or a 54 for a fit offering a little more comfort. - Van
I’ve ordered a a 56 euro online, hope it fits me. 6’3 210lbs
Depends on the suit, there are some I would suggest a 56 and others I would suggest a 58 for you. - Van
Sportbike Track Gear thanks for the reply, I ordered an RST EVO 2
I’m about 200 pound and 6’2 looking to buy a Dainese suit, would a size 58 be risking to much tightness or should I go with a 60
Sorry we stopped offering Dainese a few years back so I a not familiar with their current models. - Van
I'm 5 foot 9 and 120 pounds...I'm finding it really hard to find a race fit suit and am now looking at RS taichi suits, what size would be best?
+PUU-TAAH Nin Nin It depends on a lot of different factors. email "Orders@sportbiketrackgear.com" or call 888.784.4327 and talk with one of our Gear Experts. They are the best!
I’m 5’6” 165lbs and looking at a dainese laguna seca 4. But I want a race fit size. What size would that be? EU 48 EU 46?
We no longer offer Dainese so I am not familiar with this suit. If I had to guess I would put you in a 50 euro. - Van
6"ft 190lbs here, what would you recommend for a a stars one piece for road riding a super sport?
Every suit fits a little different. That said in most common models you will be a 54 to a 56 Euro. - Van
Hi Van I bought an RA-Moto custom leather one piece it's slightly to large for me but fits me in height size just not great filling it would you say this would be a big deal just for street riding?
Hard to say for sure without having the opportunity to see it but odds are you are good to go with street riding. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear thanks yea it's a nice fit length wise just a little bit big and slightly loose at the arms and back but not anything I would imagine for major concern
Guy on right is in race fit mechanics suit
Some riders like the suit painted on while others prefer a little more room to operate comfortably. - Van
When you go for a race fit is it normal for the sleeve to be above your wrist knuckle?
You do not want the sleeve long enough to restrict movement at the wrist. For this reason it is best to have the sleeve end above the wrist or right on it. A gauntlet glove will be worn with the suit that should easily cover any gap left. - Van
Sportbike Track Gear ah got it! Thanks for the reply mate 👍🏻
I'm 5'2, 130lbs. what options do i have?
+Arc Angel Gaspar we will absolutely be able to find you a suit that fits like it should. Email "Orders@sportbiketrackgear.com" and ask our sales team for some suggestions based on your application! Thanks for watching :)
I’m 5’11, 200 lbs. athletic build. Big calfs and a 34 inch waist. Should I go for a 52 or 54 ?
I would recommend a 56 Euro in most suits for you. There are some exceptions to this as some models you would be better off in a 54 Euro. Shoot us an email to orders@sportbiketrackgear.com and we can help you choose the right suit. - Van
So I am currently looking into buying a laguana seca 4 1 pc suit, my height is 65 inches, I weigh 140 lbs, chest is 38, arm 23, neck is 14.5, hip 34.5, waist 29, and an inseam of 30 all inches.
On the size chart I would fit into a euro 44 small all measurements fit that category other than my chest, that's fitting in the 48 euro size anyone have any suggestions on what I should do, thank you!
Sorry we do not sell Dainese and I am no longer familiar with how their current line fits. - Van
im 5' 10" 225 lbs and i couldnt get both my arms into a size 56 (alpinestars gp plus v3 graphite) on, lol. lose some weight?
I would start you in a 58 in most suits. If you need help finding a suit that fits shoot the team a call or an email. Orders@sportbiketrackgear.com or 888.784.4327 - Van
I'm 5'11 220 what size do u recommend?
Depends on the suit of course but you would be a 58 euro in most. - Van
How does a really short guy get a suit like 5’4” and shorter?
Shoot the team an email of orders@sportbiketrackgear.com and they will help you find one that fits. There are some models that are cut a little shorter than others. - Van
I have one confusion, what's the difference between mens and woman's full suit, actually I liked Dainese grobnik woman's full suit... That's my favourate blue color, is men can wear that
The cut of the suit it tailored to a woman so it may not fit you very well. Beyond that there is no real difference. - Van
Tqsm@@sportbiketrackgear
What model suit is the second one?
Sorry to say this video is old enough now all of the suits in it have been discontinued. - Van
I'm 5.9, 200-205 lbs. Which size can u recommend?
52
@@pug-man6861 Nope, i got 56 and it fits perfectly
@@streetbaron sweet mate glad it fits you bro 😎
Hi im 5'6" tall and my waist is 31....im selecting 1pc suit for 48 euro size on Alpinestar and Dainese. Because i cannot go outside to fit it cause of this Corona virus lockdown here in spain. Can you give the correct size please.
I would need to know your weight as well to help out. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear i am 165lbs. sir
@@bjluisbalolong5365 to be fair all suits do fit a little differently. At your height and weight I would put you in a size 52 Euro in most. Some of the newer Astars suits offer a different cut which I would recommend a size 50 Euro in. Missile Ignition, GP Tech V3, GP Pro V2 and Racing Absolute are the models with the new cut. - Van
Ok sir..that good info from you sir..actually im planning the size 48euro im little bit confuse on that size that why i ask you about it on this matter.. now ill go for size 50euro.. Thank you very much sir Van and STG
You need the suit to be comfortable but needs to be snug don’t want the protectors moving around during a crash.
I agree 100%. - Van
What about for short riders
Shorter riders can be a little tricky to fit, each situation is a little different for sure. - Van
One of these days he'll learn how to say Dainese correctly!
and one day he'll spell it correctly too
You want to get comfy: get a cordura jacket and ride a bmw GS or RT. Leather suits have never been about comfy. We are talking about sports riding on track with an aggressive seating position etc. Look at those MotoGP riders, you hardly see much room between suits and their body, it is all custom made for perfect snug. I recall Alpinestars once brag to deal with Ben Spies as he wants his suit to be super snug. So race fit suit is the way to go. Just my 2 cents
Thanks for watching! - Van
Got a fat fit suit? 5'10, 245# 38 waist 62 stomach? Still like to drag knee but body like a Harley Chad
Shoot the team an email and they will help you get sorted out. Orders@sportbiketrackgear.com - Van
You know its a race fit when you can see your little ding dong 😁
man that is an awkward comment. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear I speak from experience 6'4 215 size 52 dianese suit. 😙 love you guys!
I’m 180lbs. 5’8. 42” chest. Is a 46 too big for me?
Depends on the suit you are looking at. I would suggest a 44 US in most suits for you. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear The 46 was way to big Joe Rocket New. Should i go to 42 or is that too small? I have a little belly. 5'8 7/8ths 180-185lbs. 42" chest. So 42 or 44?
race fit is more aerodynamic
For sure it is. - Van
im 6ft and in a 48 euro, im built like slender man and like my shit skin tight
Im tall and skinny, no suit fits me, f*ck*ng sh*t, its so frustrating...
If you have a shop that stocks suits like we do you need to go there and try some on. - Van

That hump is not a back protector. Serves no safety purpose what so ever
Having crashed in several I will say while it is not a certified protector it does absorb impact in that area. You still 100% need to be wearing a back protector or airbag. - Van
Ниххуя не понял но очень интересно!
No hablo - Van
If you're NOT A Professional Racer.. always choose the comfort fit. Feeling uncomfortable will spoil your fun.
Choose the race fit if you are a PROFESSIONAL (meaning, you don't have to pay for it and you have a sponsor since you're a professional). Remember, professional Motorcycle racers are NOT PEOPLE.. Not a joke.. it's true.. those professional fit means giving up your humanity.. it just so bad.
You can get exhausted just by wearing those leathers.. It looks easy on videos but believe me.. it's an effort to wear leathers and get used with those ridiculous boots. Also it weighs a TON.
Having been riding in race suits and selling race suits for a couple of decades now I disagree with your opinion. Like anything else when you start riding in the suit you just need a little time to get used to riding in it. Sure some riders like a little more comfort and operating room but the reality is most riders prefer the suit to fit a little tighter. - Van
Val, that sounds like a one time encounter with riding gear. The gear (and bike and track) get more comfortable every time. Feeling confident about walking away from my crashes makes the sport even more fun. 5’10” and 190 makes a 42 in RST and Alpinestars a comfortable race fit for me, with airbag suits. Same size works for me without airbag system, but wearing Alpinestars nucleon and chest protector.
My side girlfriends a race fit but shes really high maintenance. Thats probably why my main girlfriend is more of a comfort fit. Easier going, got more curves but lighter on the edges. Knah mean?
No.
100% a Virgin
i get it now, your skin tight shirts are RACE FIT ............and not SUPER GAY ?
