time for new leathers - one piece or two?

For mainly street riding with an occasional track day I'd go 2 piece

If I did just only track then I would consider a one piece

I agree.

Also agree on the underarmor. When it's cooler, I wear cold gear, warmer, heat gear.

It's the cat's meow!

I had good experience with my JR 2-Piece, so I went with the 2-Piece. My only hangup was with the waist zipper. Just looking at the photos, the zipper on the AStars suits looks a little weaker. But hey, I'm no GP racer.

I usually wear some boxer briefs and a t-shirt under my leathers, but I think I might take your advice and go underarmour shopping. That junk is expensive, but I suppose if I only have to buy 1 set, no big deal.

You can find the cold gear for about $80 regular price for the set.
Heat gear is a little cheaper. Check for sales, I got my last set for $50.

I have four jackets and three pairs of pants. I mix and match for weather conditions, high altitude, fast or slow, and depending if I am going to be walking around afterward. My winter jacket is kind of loose so I have more room for putting different sweaters underneath. Yeah, even with the liner. And I have mesh jacket and pants for the really warm days. So I would go with a two-piece.
