Default What's better for suits

Full Zip, Partial or a full 1 piece?
"I know you are going to ask, What kind of riding are you going to be doing?"
The answer is I have a rock solid Street jacket and I need an offordable suit for track days. I found a seller in my state with some decent deals and even if the auction closes normally he said I can pick them up for free?

i wear a one piece on the track and occasionally on the street as well.. i don't like how the two pieces tend to bunch at the joint between pants and jacket.

I have a couple of buddies that have the MotoGP one piece and it looks really good and crashes very well from what I've seen.

I have a 1pc and ride street only. Like you, I also have a good jacket, so I didn't see the point in getting a 2pc. Yeah it sucks when you have to take a piss (or worse), but I've done both so it can be done.

I have both and like both. Street is always going to push toward a 2 piece because you can take half off and your pants don't fall down. Track 1 piece gumby suit is safer. No chance of a zipper failng and you getting rashed or twisted up in 2 pieces. But a 2 piece track suit lets me get my back protector on wthout help.

Dude don't get it. I used to work at a shop that sold suites similar to this one and they were crap.

To make the decision a little easier a lot of track days require a full
wrap around zipper. So I would say forget about the partial ones. If it were me I would buy a one piece but I do have a 2 piece suit right now and I have been happy with it.
