I'm going to get some leather pants for track day. Do you get the same size leathers as your pant size or one size bigger? I think I better try some on before I buy. Just wanted some thoughts

If you plan on wearing them on the track, they should be TIGHT fitting. Wrinkles or rolls will cause you to start tumbling if you go down.

Check the manufactures website for size comparisons. I got my leathers online at a good price. They are last years models from newenough.com. Make sure you buy the best that you can afford. They will protect you. My brother has been down three times at three different track days and only came out of it with a sore knee. The only thing we do different now is we have two pair of gloves so we can get back on the track that day if they get torn up. We carry extra parts in the truck for out bikes also. Haul your bike in a truck or on a trailer. You will be tired at the end of the day. LOL
