Opinions And Advice On Proper Gear?

[Dylan]

First off, I'm a skinny guy (approx 6ft 150lbs) and I've had a lot of trouble finding gear that will have a snug/proper fit. Does anyone have any opinions on what brand/type of gear has the best fit? Similar to shoes or clothing lines, some may fit tighter than others.. I'm looking to purchase some full leathers soon, and haven't had much experience with them! What size would someone recommend, what brands fit tightly, etc?
I have been to my local shop (only one) and have tried on a full suit once before. Size 50? (I believe it was Euro sizing) fit kiiiiiiiiiinda well. I'm also interested in textile/protective jeans. I know people may have posted something pertaining to what I'm asking, but I'm trying to kill two birds with one stone in this question, AND get a more personal/updated answer. I'm just really asking those of you who own (or have owned) leathers since I'm kind of in the dark.. Any other tips would be helpful!

Thanks to anyone who provide help!

p.s. If nothing else, I'll get branding advice from you, and go around to ALL of my local shops and just try on a bunch of sizes!

It might be worth looking into some made-to-measure leathers. They're not all as expensive as you think. Otherwise, Euro companies will probably be a better fit than US ones.

Spada for fabrics aka the colder months. They're not pricey but I've ridden in storms wearing their stuff and rarely got my body wet etc.

RST are great for leathers, love mine

That's what I was thinking. Thank you for the feedback.

Late to the party, but agree with the European cuts. Clothing over here in the U.S. has been supersized in recent years so that the person buying the whatever does't feel so bad about the size their buying . Want a Coke a day? Add 10lbs. in one year (was that the number ???).

Anyways, good luck - I wish I was that tall ~_~ ~.....

Hahaha, exactly. Thanks for your input!

REV'IT makes good quality stuff ( jackets/pants/gloves/boots) and they are a EURO company, so you can get all metrosexual'd out and look good on the bike and off it.
