Race leathers in Calgary

[jlitz]

Good afternoon ladies and gents,

I was wondering if any of you could provide me with a little info on the best shops to check out in Calgary as I'm still 2 hours south and have not a single shop in town that carries any road race gear.

I'm looking for a one-piece preferably.

I've always had good luck with gw cycle, and even Blackfoot as long as they aren't busy but if anyone has other suggestions let me know!

Also, any recommendations on brands?
I haven't really liked much alpinestars in the past but I see quite a few at the track and it seems they're the most available in a reasonable price point.

Thanks! Hope to see you all again for round 4!

go with whoever is willing to exchange sizes for you (at no cost or reasonable cost)

all suits will fit differently, dont be stuck with one that doesn't fit.

i personally have an A*, they fit me decently. I'm short so I find dainese to fit weird.

edit: on that note, make sure it fits right!!! it should be form fitting. and feel comfortable in "race position"

if its too loose, the armor will do you no good. if its too small, your balls may suffer.

Thanks for the info!

Fitment is concern of mine as I'm a tall guy! Really interested in good protection so I appreciate your advice Brian.

As for contender, if I don't have any luck I will send you an inquiry email.
