I’m not going to spend a lot of time on this review because of current circumstances.  I just checked their website to steal some pictures and nothing really exists beyond a blank home page and an empty online store.  I have no idea if these guys are even in business any more, especially since I got my suits about five years ago…before the advent of UnderArmor.

Anyway, this garment serves as a full body suit made of stretch lycra and a mesh material around the chest for ventilation.  It has two main functions.  The first and most important is to wick away moisture.  The second is to provide a slippery surface so that the rider can get in and out of his leathers without help - “pull my sleeve would ya”.

For both purposes, this suit functions very well.  Its a one-piece design with a zipper that runs from the neck to the nads and has a snug fit. 

NOTE:  When this suit is exposed (restaurant, etc.), BEWARE.  The phrase I have came up with over the years is “Euro-fag”.  Please note that there is an online quiz called “gay American or European tourist”, which is its origin.  Seriously though, the suit is black and white and 100% form-fitted.

Unlike cotton, it keeps the moisture away from your body and dries fast.  The outside of the material is slippery enough to get even custom one-piece leathers on by yourself.

When I bought this suit, they had a special going.  They threw in an extra, lower grade one-piece suit for free.  This suit is 100% standard lycra with no mesh or fabric change in the joint areas.  It works well if I’m on a 2-day trip since the main suit is rather ripe by the end of day #1.

The Good:

• Unlike so many things today, it does what it is supposed to do very well:  wick away moisture & aid in donning your leathers
• Machine washable
• All-day comfort

The Bad:

• In my opinion, these have poor stitching quality.  Every time I out them on I hear stitching pop.  That said, nothing has unraveled yet…yet
• Very gay looking if exposed
• UnderArmor much more readily available with more options and equally as good.

The UGLY:

• Website is toast.  No idea if they are still in business.
• For us yankees, they are in Europe.

Overall Rating:

Overall I like the suit.  It was excellent for its time, but now that UnderArmor is at your local mall, I’m not sure I would go this route again (today I wear UnderArmor in hot weather riding on my dirt bike).
