nah, i don't like the chicane. it looks ok but it doesn't have the speed hump for better aerodys at high speeds and better protection as well.

Better protection? How do you know this? Have you been down while wearing both?

As for aerodynamics, that's probably not something you should be worrying about yet. Work on getting good riding form first. Right now sloppy form will create a heck of alot more drag than that hump will benefit you with...

daylight pics.

i notice that my suit is a lot loose on waist section but even so, it's not easy to put on or remove already.

it's not skin tight but all the length sizes is perfect and armor is exactly where it should be.

but on the chest section, it's fit tight. i wonder why it's so tight in the chest but loose on the stomach.

oh well, it just has a little more width for me in other areas.

That suit is so Yatta!

BTW...I was wondering...once you find the black, green, and yellow riders...will you come together to form a giant crime-fighting robot and, if so, will you be an arm or a leg?
