Re: The Official 2011 Kitchener-Waterloo and surrounding areas thread.
Remember that post about the cheap track suits I posted up earlier?
Guy from the other site got his (guess he sent the first one back 'cause it was too big - free exchange shipping in the US), and here's his review:
"I got my suit exchange back from Jackets4bikes. The 46 fits me MUCH better than the 48 did. Night and day. The thighs fit nicely, everything is snug, just an overall great fit.
I couldn't help myself, I threw the suit on and headed out for a quick 10 minute ride. An hour later I'm back in the house with a huge grin on my face.
Overall it is fairly comfortable, especially on the bike. It's on the warm side, I would definitely prefer a perf version, but how can I complain about a $200 that fits this well? The armor all lines up where it should, the construction looks solid. The only thing I would warn you about, is don't wear anything nice underneath it...when I got back from my ride (which I didn't sweat much on) the white workout shirt I had underneath had black on it from the suit leather bleeding dye. Right along the zipper, where there is no liner, only leather touching. I can't imagine a higher end suit doing that. But again, it's a $200 suit that fits really nicely, and is sufficiently soft. I can only imagine how a real top dollar suit must feel.
Overall very happy with the suit, and at the price it simply cannot be beat. If you are looking for an entry level track suit, something just to start out in on track days, and don't want to break the bank, this is absolutely it."
Sounds like it would be good for spring/fall track days, but hot for the summer.
I sent him a PM regarding his size to see how he compares to me. Haven't heard back as of yet, as I just sent it a few minutes ago.
EDIT -- Says he's 6'1", 240 lbs with a beer belly and 45" chest. Size 46 is what makes him happy.
