So I went to Bert's after riding today to try on some suits. I tried on an A* and Dainese suits, both in 42, and the length for my legs and arms seemed to be proper for both suits. The A* suit fit good all the way around, but was a lil baggy in tha upper back. Is it like this so that a back protector will fit under tha suit? The Dainese suit seemed to be a lil baggy in tha thighs and waist, but tha upper chest & back fit good and the elbow, shoulder pads fit good and didn't move around. Again is this bagginess for a back protector, and is it that big of a deal that's it's loose in those areas, as when I hunched over, it kinda was less evident, and only seemed like it fit wierd when I was standing up. Should I maybe try a size smaller to get rid of tha looseness even tho doin so will leave me lookin flooded out in tha arms and legs, or try a different model lookin to find a leaner cut while keepin tha same size.

i'd go with trying something a bit smaller. you want to get the tightest suit as possible as it's suppose to fit like "2nd skin". this is just my opinion, but if it fits slightly baggy now, it'll probably feel slightly baggier in a few months. so yeah, go with something a tad tighter, it'll feel uncomfortable the first few times, but once broken it feels good. good to see you're checking out gear.

^ Agreed. The suits loosen up when they break in. Try the next size smaller.

Also, if you end up getting it at berts, ask for the internet special. Its 10% off. At first they will tell you that they cant. But have them ask their manager, and you will get it.

^^ HAHAHAH! hilarious! yea get a size smaller because they will break in, remember the suit is for the motorcycle not for standing up. try positioning yourself in a motorcycle position to see if the suit works out for you. Have FUN! remember check out www.parts411.com

yeah check for sizing at berts and if it's a a* ask rob to hook u up with the website of the dood on the east coast..... we seen some dood up in the canyons last week that just geared up and he spent more at bert than he woud have if he would have listened to lsd. and also you are probably a 40 cuz i'm a 44 and i got atleast 20 pounds on you
