Default Just bought my first bike last week... need suggestions for a one-piece suit.

I took the MSF course a couple weeks ago and really wanted to ride. I bought a Suzuki GS500F after a lot of decision. Bought my helmet today, and now looking for a one piece suit.

Any recommendations?

Cost is a concern, but safety is more critical. Also I'd prefer leather with armoring. Since I've never ridden anything over 125cc's, safety is the biggest concern, so I'd like to get you all's opinions to get some ideas.

Default dainese laguna seca. You planning on doing track days or is it for the street.

One piece is overkill for the street. Two piece much better for street.

Default I actually have a MotoGp kangaroo. Went down on it numerous times on the track.

And it held up fine. Pretty good price for a Roo suit also.

the price is comparable to everything else I've found. Looks like a good buy. Thanks.

Default If price is a major concern and must have a one piece

can look at something such as this. I've never owned Teknic so can't speak of it's quality.<ul><li><a href="http://www.motorcyclecloseouts.com/sport/leather+motorcycle+suits/teknic_chicane+1+piece+race+suit">http://www.motorcyclecloseouts.com/sport/leather+motorcycle+suits/teknic_chicane+1+piece+race+suit</a</li></ul>

Default Aerostich. Waterproof, comfy in all weather, great abrasion resistance, more comfortable

on and off in ten seconds, can wear regular clothes underneath. Nothing better.
