Lookin' rock solid! My only 2 cents. Wear your forearm armor on top of your glove. The placement is perfect, just should not be tucked inside the glove. Trim the extra strapping you have hanging down at the back of your belt from the thigh boxes. Well done!

Muchos Congratulations!

Great news and well done!

Yes, I ordered it the night of the 4th, just before I posted about finding it. It was on my doorstep when I got home from work yesterday the 9th. When the box arrived, I noticed it came from Speedwaymotors.com. I just checked that site and the same suit is listed there for the same price, and with some more info about it, including a sizing chart. I might just get myself another one and get a large this time : http://www.speedwaymotors.com/p/2466,201_S...dFire-Suit.html

The new Racing Suit arrived tonight, and I think it's fantastic! I love it! It got here really fast, too. It fits great and it is definitely not too tight or clingy. In fact, if anything the legs are a bit long, so there's some good "wiggle" room for those that would want it. I could actually pull the pants legs down my foot and almost reach my toes! Again, the L would have been good, but I'm still glad I got the XL because the upper portion really fits great and maybe the Large would have not. It does not feel heavy at all, or unusually hot. And it looks like only some minor modifications to remove the 2 epaulets on the shoulders, and the 4 patches. It also has belt loops which should be hidden by the bund. OK, get ready for some photos: Here it is! $64.99 plus shipping ($73 and change for me). The full suit on the hanger. Close-up detail on the hanger. Looking good with the Don Post and the accurate gloves. Don't worry... KS Helmet is on the way! Collar closed and open. The rear view. Close up of the cuff. Belt closed and open. Bahalia (Peepers) likes it, too! Well, I'm extremely happy with it. Once again, here's where I found it: http://www.tunerschoice.com/xq/aspx/paging.../qx/Product.htm

I agree, but it kinda looked to me like the model was just wearing one that was about 2 sizes too small. A large would fit me just fine, but I ordered an XL. I'll keep you posted when it arrives.

I just found this suit tonight. No info to speak of except for the photos, which looks good to me. And the price is right - $64.99 plus ship, which worked out to be $73 and change. For half the price, I'm taking a chance and ordering one. I'll let you all know how it looks once I get it. http://www.tunerschoice.com/xq/aspx/paging.../qx/Product.htm *UPDATE: When the box arrived, I noticed it came from Speedwaymotors.com. I just checked that site and the same suit is listed there for the same price, and with some more info about it including a sizing chart: http://www.speedwaymotors.com/p/2466,201_S...dFire-Suit.html

I've been enjoying TB-1019's Thread about the Racing Suit he uses as opposed to a flightsuit. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***UPDATE: Here's the Racing Suit that I ultimately bought and I LOVE IT!. Look a few posts down for some photos. The price is right - $64.99 plus ship, which worked out to be $73 and change. It's half the price of the Wesco Racing Suit and it arrived in only 5 days from when I ordered it! http://www.tunerschoice.com/xq/aspx/paging.../qx/Product.htm When the box arrived, I noticed it came from Speedwaymotors.com. I just checked that site and the same suit is listed there for the same price, and with some more info about it including a sizing chart. Order from the first link , though... shipping is a few dollars higher: http://www.speedwaymotors.com/p/2466,201_S...dFire-Suit.html And now back to my original post: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm totally sold and was looking into purchasing one for myself. But, it looks like the price has gone up a bit since his original posting. The base price is now $140 as opposed to the original $125, and this is still before shipping is added. Well, searching around for other possible options before taking the plunge, I came across this suit: G-force GF125 One Piece Racing Suit It comes in solid black, cuffs and all, and is $129.99 with free shipping. There's only 4 patches on the suit, and the single collar patch looks like it's the only crucial one that needs removing. What do you think?
