    Anyone bought an Alpinestars 1 piece lately?

    Just wondering on fitting/size as it's been a while since I bought a 1 piece. I heard the new suits fit to size more than they used to, rather than having to go a size up or down??

    I just bought am Atem V3 suit after trying several various 2 piece items from Alpinestars.
    All the 2 pieces felt smaller than the 1 piece especially tight under the arms.
    The 1 piece was a much better fit even though it was the same size.
    I haven't previously had alpinestars leathers so can't comment much more than what I have said.
    For me the 1 piece was about right for the size I ordered but all the 2 piece garments felt too small for the same size. Strangely the under arm area was very tight with the 2 piece jackets, almost like they were all cut too high.
    Sportsbike shop are great for returns on this sort of stuff where you have to try before you buy

    Just bought new suit in the same size as my old one, found the back little baggy as I suspect this is to accommodate the air bag module, other than that the same except maybe protection felt thicker.
