Looking to sell my Tz-1 Jacket and pick up a 2 piece suit. Local shop has the Shift 2-piece on close-out for 339.99, and wanna wear the jacket for short rides, then the 2-piece on the long ones when hittin up the mountains. Anyone have feedback on their suits or jackets? Its either the Shift 2-piece or a alpinestars GPU 2-piece, but that cost almost double the price, and has about the same features, minus the knee pucks on the Shift, but i dont plan on tracking anytime soon, or draggin the knee

A friend of mine has Shift leathers. He says they feel just as comfy as his A*. But remember, fitment is number one when it comes to leathers. He hasn't crash-tested 'em (knock on wood that he never has to), but they're backed by Fox (IIRC), so they're not a fly-by-night company.

If there's nothing wrong with your TZ1, why not just pick up the track pants from A* and use those for trackdays...?

 

well the thing is my current Tz-1 is kind of big on me, so ima sell it and buy a new one

 

I don't know how they hold up in quality and such but I think shift leathers are the nicest looking ones on the market.

Sounds like getting the shift is a good idea if yer tz1 doesnt fit you well. As long as its comfortable, I bet it'll still be pretty good. Like marm said, Shift is under Fox so I bet the quality is decent at least.

 

Checkout the MotoGP suits. The Titanium Compression suit is only $400

Don't mean to jack your thread but I'm looking to do possibly the same thing with my TZ-1 but I'm looking at the Teknic suits. Don't mean to jack your thread STEV3-O but what do you guys know about Teknic suits???

 

I got a teknic leather jacket, and i dont really like it. Its much lighter then my alpinestars, and the quality doesnt seem to be as god as the alpinestars. But then again i paid only 100 bucks brand new

 

Also, not to tread jack but:

I have the Dainese Monza jacket and just picked up the P-Joy pants, and one thing I noticed is the *** is super baggy. Is this normal?

 

Is the rest of the pant baggy? Otherwise, get a bubble butt!

 

I have Teknic pants and they're super baggy and the zippers are crappy.

They crashed well though.

 

bubble butt as in make my *** fat?
