    new leather 1piece suit comfort

    Hi, I just bought some nice new leathers 1piece by Shoei in purpley/blue and black, they fit well and are surprisingly comfy considering i look like Im crouching for a poo all the time, they fit fine on the bike though. My question is; I cant get them off easily (wide shoulders) and dont want to spend the rest of my life stuck in them so... Any hints and tips to bed them in, make them more comfy and aid getting them on and off and help them last longer?

    I don't think there is any easy way to get out of 1 piece suits!! As cossiemetro said, you just have to wriggle out of them as best you can You can get 1 piece undersuits that make it easier, as they are a silky type of material

    They need to be a good snug fit to do their job properly.Mine were seriously tight,but then I could do with having a salad now and then meself

    I've swapped over to Dainese leather jeans and zip together Dainese cordura (or whatever it's called) jacket.Still got CE armour etc and pretty tough,but much more breathable and not such a strain on the old conkers.

    It's a second skin so should indeed be snug, but they will give a bit after a few hours of wear. I wear a 2 piece Heine Gericke gortex/leather effort and think it's superb in the cold/rain and extreme heat.

    My mate I bought this1piece off has bought a 2pc Hein Gericke fabric/cordura all weather set, says they are more practical for commuting, I have lost weight and am only wearing my thong so clothing isnt a problem. I dont really need a diet, no fat on my shoulders, cheeky git cossiemetro.
