If that's a Technic Chicane, then I used to have one. I loved that suit, but it didn't stand up very well to an overaggressive paramedic with scissors. 
You can't beat the price, but I did have a couple of complaints about the suit:
1. The arms fit kinda tight.
2. The front zipper doesn't go down far enought to let you 'drain the weasel' without taking the whole top off.
3. After a few months of use, the threads in the seams start to fray.
But, other than that, it protected me nicely when I went down, and you get a lot of suit for the price.

Just got my Joe Rocket Speedmaster suit yesterday i'm 6-1 so i can't stand completely up but on the bike it fits like another layer of skin still have fieldsheer leathers their comfortable standing up but sort of tight on bike .I don't know about Technic suit but all i can tell you is when you get it put it on and set on your bike if it's not comfortable send it back i was told the fieldsheer would loosen up one 1 1/2 years later still fit the same and i ride 3 to 4 times a week.once or twice at deals gap per week plus Joe Rocket comes the cool speed hump

OMG. Damn, Sterbator.
I have a Vanson suit. Lot's of miles, use (no wrecking, though, so no road rash report) and it's held up very well. Very well. Plus you can get a custom fit suit for not much more than the off the shelf one.
You didn't ask, but thought I'd volunteer.

Voz.. Im the same way. Just lay around in the suit a few hours at a time. It will break in. I use some leather conditioner to soften the material too.
The more you wear it the better it gets.

Voz, when I'm ON the bike it's fine, no probs at all. The torso length is a little short. I was gonna take it and have some uh, "room" made, lol.

I like the new 2004 models with the double zipper.
I think Joe Rocket and Vanson had them both with double front zippers at the Seattle Motorcycle show.
The less seams the better.
Failures always happen where two pieces are sewn together.
Decorative peices should be sewn on top of a main solid suit of leather. You don't want a dozen little pieces making up the body of your suit.
I think you should be able to stand in your leathers.
You don't want your suit to restrict your movements and limit your movement on or off your bike.
I never noticed any of the racers at Laguna not being able to stand up in their suits.
