Syed Leathers
Any one have any opinions or experience with Syed Leathers? I was looking into getting a custom one piece suit from them. Any input would be appreciated!

I use to race down hill or you could say freeride, before i was injured hit by a car in a parking lot with no lights ,All i would use was Dainese,,,
but there are all good Dainese - Syed - Bates its all about the money when it comes to leathers the more you spend the better they are in means of thickness and thickness is the key to saving your skin!

Syed is as good if not better than Dianese. They are the least expensive suit maker on the market.

that does not meen you will get that same suit.... I know with Bates you get exactly what the pros get. same suit, same protection.

and dude your a little bigger if I were you I would "NOT" buy a 1pc suit. go for the 2 pc, you will love it and great protection, it is what all the dragracers wear. Larry McBride runs 245mph in a 2pc suit....

I've personally track tested one and two piece suits , and while the two piece stayed zipped together I would stay with a one piece for racing myself . However to be fair the two piece suits are way easier to live with for drag racing . Either way get the best suit you can afford .

For twisty racing...definitely 1 piece. But, if you're dragracing, definitely 2-piece.

Ok..I see the point in a 2 piece after a little more research. Bates, eh? Will have to check them out. Syed is here in Florida, in Orlando, so even going there to get fitted would be pretty easy.
