1 piece suit sizing help

[Half Squid]

I am looking for a one piece set of leather for track days. Need sizing help.
My current jacket is a 50.
Would this size still work as a one piece?
I am 6' 235-240 lbs fluxuating wieght..
Staulky build with a small beer shed.

I found some good prices on Aplinestar one piece suits. Any of these good?

MX-1
SG-1
Octane

Thanks in advance.
Mike

Socal, That was exactly where and what I was looking at! Good quality I take it?

The Price is good!

Have you considered buying a "barely" used suit off of Ebay or a message board? I recently purchased a "new" $1,800 Alpinestars Race Replica suit on Ebay for $1,000. Of the three you listed, I would get the MX-1. You won't go wrong with buying one of Alpinestar's high end suits.

Nothing to add about suits but, I have dealt with New Enough and they're great to work with - If you get the wrong size they'll work with you to get the right one. I had to send mine back twice to finally get one that fit well but they worked with me and stuck through it....

I'm real similar in build, and have had great success with Fieldsheer 1 piece suits in size 52; I have a couple of the Revo Sport suits and have crashed in one of them twice before on the track. The suit has held up real well, with no seam bursts or other issues. They are comfortable, flexible, double/triple stitched in the important areas and have CE armour installed. I've seen them price between $400 and $500 on the web.

Thanks for the input guys.

I found two sizing charts and found I will need a size 58, but I have a feeling that may be too loose. I checked out my other suits and found both are 52's. They say US-52/Euro-62, what does that interpit to what I need to order?
I am thinking a 54 would work, seeing my Fieldsheer is a tad tight, the Honda suit which is also a 52 fits good.


What to do..... A hell maybe I'll just stick with a two piece get the 38 Reg pants, and a 54 jacket. DONE.... If I was going to race I would go get fitted and get the one piece, but seeing I am not the two piece is more practical and can fit better.

I think I just worked my way through that probelm.... Ouch my head hurts

Make sure you decide now if you are going to use a back protector because the "extra room" comes into play.
