Yes, I also have another Teknic one piece hanging in my closet, it's a newer model and has the improved internal stitching. I kept the old blown-out one and got most the seams stitched back up but the shoulder is still duct taped up, too much material is gone to just stitch it up. But it's been retired to street duty only.
Over the years I've bought and tried:
Alpinestars(2 of them)
Arlen Ness
Kobe'
Swift
Teknic(3 of them)
But only the 3 Teknics fit me, none of the others were even close. Off the rack suits that fit are hard to find. I could try a custom suit but they usually cost more and some are questionable as far as protection. The Teknic suits fit me perfectly and I walked away from a 130 mph crash with only a few minor scuffs and nothing broken, so they are proven. Better the suit take it than me
