One or Two Piece Leathers

Post by wayne1978 »

What is the general consensus on leathers.
I own a two piece set of Alpinestars but considering a one piece set.
I know one pieces can be a pain to get into but they do offer more protection than a two piece.
I commute over 35miles a day and prefer leathers over textiles.

Hi Wayne, welcome to the site :) pop along to the intro section and tell us a bit about yourself .....

As for your question - horses for courses really ..... One piece is great on the track, and generally a little more comfy as there is less restriction around the waist, etc., but they're a pain in the b** to wander around in all day.
Of all the things I have ever lost, I miss my mind the most .....

Handle stressful situations like a dog - If you can't eat it or play with it, pee on it and walk away

Hi Guys

I'm for both, I used a set of Dainese two piece leathers for years and had a big crash at Pembrey in them and they held up really well. Now I have just got a set of Dainese one piece leathers, as TLS-moose said it's 'horses for courses'

:)): I guess its what ever is comfortable and how easy it is to get in and out of them.
Electronic's keeps the boys upright, the men keep it on the knee slider :)
