    Speed and Strength Twist of Fate 2.0 1 pc suit

    So I got a new suit before riding season got kicked into full swing. I was a little hesitant about buying an off the shelf 1 piece suit but ordering it through R&D Cycles I could have returned it without any hassle if it didn't fit. I didn't have to send it back, IMO it fits like it was made for me.

    My review of the suit so far after only one ride (damn rain) is very positive. The leather is very soft and didn't really require a lot of break in time. Seems to be very structurally sound and I hope I don't have to test the seems and stitching but if I do I have confidence that the suit will hold up well. Having KNOX armor already in the suit is a plus because you know you are getting good quality protection. The full perforation breathes really well, it was 80*+ the day I rode and I never got hot while in motion.

    Overall I am pleased with my purchase and I think you get a very high quality suit for a reasonable price. The only down side I see is the that I had to have the white so it's going to be a pain to keep clean. So if you've been looking at them and was wondering how they were since Speed and Strength is a fairly new company, don't worry, they know what they're doing with their gear.

    They must be made for skinny tall folks.
    The joy of success is increased by the struggle along the way.

    I didn't order it with high hopes but i guess an american company makes suits for americans and not tiny asians.
