Leathers

[Guest]

So I needed a leather jacket before they would let me drag race.

But I don't need the pants until I hit the 10's

Since no one else has said it, I will. I think you are crazy to race anything, anywhere, anytime without the best gear you can afford. Whether the organizer makes you wear leather or not I wouldn't consider going out without it.

I've never used a 2 piece, but a one-piece is always a chore to get in and out of. They're also stiff, awkward and uncomfortable to walk in. The only time they're right is when you're on the bike.

+1, great description of leathers and you didn't even mention the diaper butt you have when walking around in a one piece suit. I have both one piece and two piece and when the two piece is zipped together it is just as bad as the one piece for getting into and out of. I would recommend to OP to get a set of under armor style pants and shirt as used in many sports. They make it much easier to get the suit on and off, especially if you are all sweaty.

Buy yourself some biker leotards, sure help wick away the sweat and make it EZ to get the damn jacket off!

I don't know what biker leotards are but they sound like the under armor stuff I like. I agree they make it much easier to get the gear on and off.
