Gotcha... I'd go with Syed if I were you. Seriously. Rather spend an extra $100 and have it done RIGHT the first time. Then you don't need to deal with shipping back and forth or restocking OR tailoring. It's done to the right size the first time.

I think when I finally get some, I'll definitely go that route.

That's my plan... I mean spending $500-$700 for something that fits 'pretty well' or spend $400-500 more and get something that's perfect. Specially cause I'm oddly shaped (even when skinny)...

Rae, I have the a* stella suit size S. I'm 5' even with 26" inseam. They only cost me about $600. I like that its a 2pc and I can use the jacket for cooler rides.



The knee pucks are low when I'm standing, but fit alright when I'm bent over the bike.

SWEET! Thanks babe!! Ive got a friend with the same suit, I'll try hers on for size and go from there i think...as I get more into track and racing(hopefully) I will look at getting a custom fitted suit!

Thanks all for the input!!
