I'm finding myself looking for some leathers on ebay, craigslist and whereever else I can find a "good" deal. My question is this, How many of yall are 5'11", around 200 pounds, and a 34-36" waist? seems like a pretty common size anyway. Now out of everyone that is this size, what brand suit, 1 piece or 2 piece (either one), what size does the lable say that fits you best? I'm hoping I can save myself some frustration and needless running around town looking for the perfect size, or sending back and forth to an online dealer. thanks Deadduck |

Unfortunately IME the frustration and running around is all part of getting a suit that fits. The sizing is just a very rough guide but generally I've found that an inexpensive suit tends to be bigger than an expensive suit of the same size from the same manufacturer. Interpret that how you will. Also the big names have their suits made all over the world and although they carry the same logo the sizes vary according to where the suit was made. If you want a leather 'overall' to ride around in you will find what you're looking for without too much difficulty but if you prefer something that fits comfortably on the bike, doesn't look like a Power Rangers prop and offers great protection in the event of an accident, be prepared for a lengthy search. Good luck |

newenough.com usually has a pretty good description of how their stuff fits |

I am near your size (6-0 215... bing)and the Vanson Cobra Mark 2 size 46 was too small. I moved up to a 50 so I could add the the streamliner and back armor. |
