Race Suit Comfort Fit VS. Race Fit

One of the main questions we get is questions about fit. Here we do a quick comparison of a comfort fit and a race fit. Our marketing manager Dalton is wearing a Dianese Trickster EVO C2 Race Suit in a size 54 Euro, which gives him a snug race fit. He also wears a Dianese Veloster Race Suit in a size 56, which gives him more of a comfort fit. Dalton is 6'1", about 190 lbs. with a 34 inch waist. If you have any questions about fitment, call our sales staff at 888.784.4327 or leave a comment and we will do our best to answer any questions you have.

This video really helped me decide between a 50 and 52. 50 really was tight more along the “race fit” guidelines that I would need to break it in and I didn’t love it since it was a bit tight in the thighs. Since I would be wearing this suit for long days and living in it on the street mostly I opted for the 52 for a little more breathing room and comfort. If I started track riding, I’d definitely go buy a 50. Loved the video. Thank you for the help!

that helped me so much. I have the Dainese in the size 58. She is great, size 56 is skin tight. and I think the 56 will be better, tighter on the chest but the protectors fit better.

Super helpful. I’m 5, 11 - 190lbs I purchased a Large size, not sure about the numbers but 3 days to break in, gentleman package must be tucked left of right, I stand straight very carefully! Ouch! Riding on the bike though it’s very comfy and gives me a sense of security and protection. Ride safe!

Thanks for the video! Im same size as Dalton roughly and have been wearing size 50 Dainese. Talk about racefit!! Just bought size 56 instead.

I like the way you show me everything happens for us together

Just bought a size 50 on Alpinestar missile . I’m 5’10” 160lbs. It fits like a glove. Pulls me in to that race tuck. It’s tight. But mobility in the arms could be an issue. I’m going to exchange for a 52.

Im 5'10" 160lbs with 41 chest any suggestions on US sizes? I like the retro suits like the Segura spencer 2 and the ixon legendary

Impressive looking motorcycle race suit.

I’m 5’9 about 175-190 fluctuate due to bodybuilding athletic shape I bought a EU52 it’s really tight but perfect for my height, I hope it breaks in and gives me some room for future growth as it’s your typical race fit at the minute

One of these days he'll learn how to say Dainese correctly!

I’m 5’9” 230lbs with a 38” waist. Nothing fits me right because of my bulk. Dainese used to make short and tall sizes but none right now apparently

How does a really short guy get a suit like 5’4” and shorter?

[ganeshgowda]

I have one confusion, what's the difference between mens and woman's full suit, actually I liked Dainese grobnik woman's full suit... That's my favourate blue color, is men can wear that

Hello Van,
I am huge fan of your videos. Sometimes spent a day watching tham as motorcycling is my new hobby. It is great that you try to help people out not just selling thinks. What size suits do you recommend for a guy 5'8.5'' 149 pounds athletic body type (chest 41-42, waist 33, 2 and hip 34, 8)? I am looking for comfort fit 1 piece suit, the two models that I liked based on your reviews are RST Tratech Evo III and Alpinestars.
Thanks in advance.

Great video. Question: with the advent of airbags how does one correctly choose a race type fit yet still be confident there is enough room for the airbag to deploy? I've tried on suits (size 56) that fit very well (race fit snug across chest-43") and I don't see how the airbag can deploy without knocking the wind out of me. Any suggestions? Waist is 37" BTW and 6' tall 195lbs

[ynnadk]

6"ft 190lbs here, what would you recommend for a a stars one piece for road riding a super sport?

[maxtrap]

Hey Brian, always appreciate the videos. With all the new suits out since this video, any recommendations for my son who is 6’2” and a thin 175 lbs? He races an R6 and the typical 42 is not long enough and the 44 flaps in the wind. Anyone make a really lean 44/54? We bought an In-Motion interior air vest to give us more options, but also have the TechAir zip-in. Custom suits are kinda spendy for as often as these kids like to perforate them.
Thanks for the help.

how do you break em in? i have a 2pc suit and on the bike n with my knee out its tight. pants are lightly used, jacket is broken in

[Jrod_K]

I’m about 200 pound and 6’2 looking to buy a Dainese suit, would a size 58 be risking to much tightness or should I go with a 60
