Bargain!

Question is, what about sizing? Do you tend to go for your normal jacket size? Or go for a size up on a race suit?

I phoned them for my size (44) but they had none. But there is one for £150 in a 46.......

So should I go for same size? Or a size up?

You really have to try it on in my experience Trist. Two suits in the same size, one could fit like a glove and the other sag off your arse like you shit yourself 
If you aren't in a big rush for the suit wait until NEC or george white christmas sale. I will be going to both, bargains galore

Good point Higgy mate.

Not in a rush, but on a budget of well..... Zero really. That seemed like a bargain too good to miss. (credit card ahoy)

At the same time I don't want a saggy bum area 

Will have a thinky

Just to give you an idea mate I gave £300 in george whites for a arlen ness suit that was £700 in hein gericke. At the NEC they were doing odd size alpinestars for £200.
Frank thomas isn't the best of brands in reality Trist (and they're bust so you won't get much or any of a warranty) and it's going to save your skin at the end of the day in the worst case scenario

Are you calling me "odd sized" ??  just kidding 

No I know mate, just been reading about the FT stuff ripping at the seams.

I'll save my dough for later in the year as I'm not desperate

No disrespect  guys. Riding a tourer these are not the sort of thing i'd wear so I'm not qualified at all to comment... I have only one observation though.... Have you ever heard of people who like to dress in leather for a sexual experience. Nothing wrong with that. Then there are people who like to dress as a child for the sexual pleasure..To each there own. Now, cross reference those two and give them one of these,,, a leather rompa suit... perfect. you could make a fortune selling these down soho...

I ride what's classed as a sports tourer and have worn 2 piece zip together suits. The one I have is ok, but to be honest as there's a slight crouch on the riding position, the jacket rides up over the trousers and is annoying.

So a one piece will eliminate this for me. Plus if for whatever reason you get sent down the road the two piece (or jacket and jeans) is very likely to rip at the zip join and give some very severe road rash.

Plus for track day purposes, these are a requirement if you intend to do them.

Good advice Same for Helmet, boots, gloves, you have to see if they fit first or    pay out a shedfull of dosh for something you will have to sell on flea bay at a loss
