Originally developed for motorsport, one-piece suits are also becoming increasingly popular with other bikers. Once put on, the one-piece suit fits like a second skin and offers the best protection all round, in addition to perfect aerodynamic properties. That's why it is indispensable on the racetrack.
If you prefer something more practical, but don't want to give up the advantages of leather, then a two-piece suit is the better choice. The possibility to put on and take off the top and bottom separately makes it much more suitable for everyday wear.
From the beginning, the leather suit must fit snugly. It's best to sit on your bike when trying it on. If it already pinches uncomfortably, it is too tight. If you want to wear functional underwear, it must fit well underneath. The protectors should be in the right places and not slip. This is the only way to ensure optimal protection.
To enjoy your leather suit for a long time, make sure you regularly waterproof and grease it. Dirt can be cleaned by hand with a soft cloth/sponge and a little curd soap. If the flyspeck is very dry, it sometimes helps to soak the stain with a damp cloth for about 10 minutes first.
