We sell Dainese and Alpinestar. When our customers try both on side by side, they usually go with the Dainese. Because Dainese has so many stretch panels, you can often go one size smaller than normal to get a tighter fit. All the guys at the shop wear Dainese. We now stock a minimum amount of Alpinestar...

I finally found a silver lining in this whole economic meltdown thingy.
I was able to purchase a 2-piece Dainese suit off fleabay for under $250.
Supposedly never worn, just bought and hung in a closet.
I'll post up when it arrives.

Yeah, My wife says it should have a cape. A buddy who saw it said he thinks he saw me on Saturday morning TV.
I figure it fits, and it'll keep my goodies together in a spill, I can take the abuse. [roll]

Although I work at the Dainese Store (San Francisco), I own both Alpinestars and Dainese gear. I like both brands for various reasons. It all comes down to what fits your body type best.

I made the most beautiful woman in the world marry me.
I raised a son to 23 years old without a criminal record.
I have successfully put a roof over our heads and food on our table for 24 years.
I make it warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
And I cook a mean rack of pork ribs!

I had an A* suit a few years back. i forget which model. I never was able to wear their boots though (damn thick calved from soccer). When I went to get my new suit, I couldnt even fit into the A* suit i ordered...


So i ordered a Dainese Laguna 1pc...  and it fits perfect.

The Dainese suits seem to be cut a bit more generous through the midsection and shoulders so someone thats a little stockier (i'm 5'10 and 227lbs) can fit into the suit without having to get one with arms and legs that are a foot too long.  the build quality is a few notches above the A* suit i tried on too... leather is better, the stitching is better... i could go on and on but until they give me a sponsorship check i'm shutting up

What size Dainese are you wearing ???  56 ???
