teknic chicane 1 pc. suit
A friend's gonna pick one up for me on wed. got it for $300 brand new from another friend's shop. i was actually looking for some a* pants to zip up to my a* jacket, but he quoted $280 for em, so i was thinking might as well get the suit for 20 more.
i tried it on today at his shop and the size 44 fit me snug as a bug! i'll go out and give it a try as soon as i get it. its the lower end teknics suit, but hey at $300, you can't beat that! also anyone know where i can get some cheap knee pucks? whatever brand doesnt matter to me really, the suit doesnt come with any... |

That's what I have, and that's a pretty good deal. You'll like the suit, it's very well ventilated.
As for cheap pucks, a lot of times the shop at the track will sell cheap pucks, I know JGP sells some for $10.

Yea I liked how its perforated in the chest and thigh area. And I found that it wasn't as hard to put on as all the reviews said it was. Like I said the size 44 was rather comfy for me both in crouching position and walking position. Thoroughly impressed so far. Can't wait.

I've got chicane pants. They are solid. You'll like the suit for sure. The Teknic pucks are cheap enough. Nice find, brother.

I asked my parents for it for my birthday that is the 22nd. Hoping for that in silver. How close are the actual sizes to their size chart?

In my experience it runs a tad small. I wear a size 50/52 in teknic, and a 50 in Alpinestars. I would recommend trying one on, or at the very least trying on a jacket made by teknic before you order one.

went for a leisure cruise today so i can break the suit in. couldn't take it, so i came home with one of these motherfuckers!
its a $19 camel pack. @ fuckin 95+ degrees, its a life saver. holds 2 liters of water, it has 3 zippered compartments and 1 pouch, reflective piping and thread (though i doubt i'd use it @ nite), and the water tubing fits perfectly into my helmet. i use those two clips to clip my helmet when off the bike and coincidentally, its the size of a speed hump! |
