We sell a lot of suits and they all will fit a little differently, but you sound like you'd be a 48US/58EUR.

Check out www.SportbikeTrackGear.com they have some Celtic suits ($800 msrp) for really good discounts if you don't mind Green or Yellow. These suits run "full" sized meaning that they are sized for us folks over here. Yo can also call 888 STG GEAR

They have a no-restocking fee exchange policy and stock over 500 leather 1-pc suits.

Good luck!

You'll get fatter like most of us, go with size 52. If you have a long body 54.

I am 6'2 235lb

I have a 54 US (alpinestars) I think its a 63 Eur

You might could do the 52 if you are long in the legs. If you are long in the torso go 54. I had a Teknic 50 maybe once it was on it took 2 people to get me out and gave one hell of a manal-toe. Teknic's run small IMO - at least according to the size chart on the website.

Ultimately, you're going to have to try one on. Many dealers do not keep these in stock, so you'll want to be sure you buy from someone that offers "risk-free exchanges." Here are sizing charts for Alpinestars, and Teknic:

Teknic- http://www.motorcycletoystore.com/sport/shop.php/sizing-chart-teknic/i_10.html

I wear a 46/56 and am 210lbs, and 5'10".

Hopefully this helps.
