Hi guys, Looking to get a buddy on track but need to find a suit that will fit him. Please contact me if you have a suit that might fit a 6'5" 190lb person. Thanks!
You should look any of the possible preferred brands size chart to get a better idear of what will fit your friend. I might start looking at RST here: https://www.sportbiketrackgear.com/rst-tractech-evo-r-one-piece-leather-race-suit/ Size chart is on same page. Different brands fit different, unfortunately but the size charts will give you a fairly accurate range.
Thanks TurboBlew! I’ll take a look! (but hoping to find a used one for a reasonable price from a fellow rider on the forum).
Gonna be tough to find something off the rack that fits his height without having a lot of room in the middle since he's rather lean at 190 lbs. My friend is the same height and about 240 lbs and I think he wears a 50us/60eu in Alpinestars and fills it out.
That makes sense.. better with extra room on the midsection than not enough coverage on the arms and legs haha
Thanks for input Circacee. I can see how a-star and other companies may not want to invest in making multiple cuts for big and tall riders.. that’s unfortunate
its not that they dont make the suits just not many for sale new or used. Another alternative is Syed as they have used suits. Barnacle Bill might have something or check with Beeb retailers for closeouts
I have an Astar suit in 48/58 that i got from a guy that size. Left cheek repair done by previous owner who said there was only rash no holes. When i got it i looked inside and could find no signs of damage. Repairs look solid. I have only worn them on a hand full of cold weather rides so other than a good rub down there're ready to go. Looking to get 200 bucks out of em.
Curious how they fit you (and your height/weight), since we won't be able to try it on prior to purchase.
im 6'4", 200lbs... and have a suit that i could let go. it might be a touch short in his arms and legs, but i bet the middle would fit fine. its a custom suit, by Hazardous Racing which i think is no longer in existence. one crash, help up great. needs new knee pucks though. and you could/should remove my last name from the ass.
I'm a bit of an anomaly. I'm only 5'7" but my brother is 6'2" and I'm taller than him sitting. The guy i got them from was 6'5" 190 or 195. I got them so i could put on layers for cold weather, but it's just to bulky. I got some heated gear for my regular leathers. Here's the size chart. https://www.alpinestars.com/pages/size-charts If he wants to try them and they don't fit good he can ship um back and I'll refund the purchase price, but shipping would be on him. Just let me know.
