The best leather in the world is worthless if the stitching breaks on impact.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

Also look at Alpinestars and Joe Rocket. I know they both make good 1 pc suits. Spidi is always a good choice (Spidi is what most moto GP and SBK riders wear). spidi may also fit you better as it is fitted for the slim and trim racer physique.

Good racing leathers are pricey, but you will be praising those cows/kangaroos should you need to test them out.

Ask the next big guy you see in a suit like that the same question.

He will have the last laugh as you disappear in his mirrors.
