New Gear! Hey guys. Over the past few weeks I spent a lot of time searching for a 1 piece leather suit to take to the track this year. I looked all over the place online and in person and I ended up going with RS Taichi. At first I tried on the Alpinestars MX1. It felt nice, but the sizing was a little off. I was stuck between a US40 and 42 and it just didn't feel right. So I called up Vince @ Redlinegear.ca, and after a few phone calls and emails we eventually determined my size and I ordered the RS Taichi GP-WRX R302 suit. All i can say is WOW. I'm 5'10", 170LBS and the US42 fits me like a glove. Out of all the suits I've worn, this one was by far the most comfortable and relaxing (as comfortable and relaxing as a body of armor and impact absorbing foam can be lol). The leather is supple and soft, and there are tons of stretch panels to allow for lots of movement. I haven't gone for a ride yet but I can only imagine how good the suit will feel once it's broken in. If any of you guys are on the fence about getting a new suit, I definitely suggest you take a look at RS Taichi. Vince @ Redlinegear.ca gave me a really good deal on the suit and a pair of gloves so feel free to give him a shout. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2..._/IMG_4259.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...IMG_4258-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...IMG_4257-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...IMG_4251-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...IMG_4252-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...IMG_4254-1.jpg my 1 piece, jacket, gloves and bike are all blue/white... but guess what my helmet looks like? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...IMG_4255-1.jpg lol |
Congrats on the purchase. Love the smell of new leather |
Congrats on the purchase! Vince/Gabe at redline are great guys. I bought my back/chest and my wife's back protector from them. I'd like to buy RS Taichi gear, but too $$$ for me. I had to buy my leathers and most of my other gear from closeout deals from newenough :p |
Very nice :) Guess you're going to need to shop for another helmet :fullofwin: |
thanks guys :D ive been wearing it around at home trying to break it in and i realized i could save a lot of money on heating bills this winter if i just wore this around all day :fullofwin: |
Love the RS Taichi Stuff, got the same gloves. http://stores.sportbiketrackgear.com...hi_zero_LG.jpg I had the RS Zero Suit, Japanese Leather made in japan, damn amazing. Shouldn't have sold it, all the Japanese leather suits are $2k and up. |
so what kind of package deal did you work out? |
Holy shit Charlie, you're on here too! :woot2: Quote:

time for a new helmet |
Bought a vented leather jacket from Rubber Side Down yesterday. So far, I'm happy with the purchase. I think I would have had to pay double the price for a jacket similar in price/quality. No more squidding. :whistle: :D |
