    I'm going to purchase a suit soon and nobody local to me has the size that I'm pretty sure I need. (98 or 48/50 tall)

    Also worth noting that I ride a supermoto so I would naturally be in a more up right position compared to a sportbike.

    Mainly street. Probably a few track days but nothing to crazy. I just want some good leathers in the event of a accident.

    Held and dainese both have 98. And the specs are very similar. I just want someone more knowledgable to confirm that this will work out for me. I'm ok with it being slightly tight.( Like in the chest area) I just want to know I'll be ok wearing it for a couple hours or so.

    My measurements. / Held size 98
    Chest. -101.6 -------------97-100
    Waist. -81------------------- 83-86
    Hips. -94 ------------------ 96-99
    Inseam/leg -85.47 ------84-86.5
    Height. -188.5----------- 182-187
    Arm sleeve -61.9

    why do you want a race suit for street riding?
    If anything its more about hard armor and back protection
    than a quality suit.
    Also keep in mind it will take about 10 mins to suit up everytime you
    go for a ride.

    Exactly. Have fun trying to go #2 at a gas station.

    A two piece suit is the way to go for the street.

    Sabre699 Wait...hold my beer.

    Now that you have the euro sizes figured out you should be able to mail order one from Pakistan without further ado.

    Ya you guys make a good point about 2 piece. id prefer that over a 1 piece for street. It's just the selection doesnt seem as big as 1 piece suits. On top of looking for a tall size is a hassle also
