I tried it on as soon as it arrived. I have not ridden in it, though. I was shocked at how well it fit. The arms only need shortened up around an inch, the legs a couple inches. I could wear it as is if needed. I have a leather tailor close by that has tons of reviews about what an awesome job she does on moto leathers. I'm going to take the suit and my AGV pants to her and let her do her magic.
I've been going back and forth on what I'm going to wear in August. Reason being, with TTD I can get away with wearing my AGV gear and zipping it together. That would make it easier to go to the little girl's room, and I could easily take off the jacket during breaks and whatnot to stay cool. If I did that, I would bring the RST as a backup just in case. Either way, I needed it since I can't wear the AGV gear at Mid O.
I've been a bad girl when it comes to gear this season so far. I gained a few pounds while being out of work for a couple weeks (gave my old job a polite "screw you"), so my armor doesn't fit under my jeans at the moment
That will change soon enough, I'm a fire tech for a restoration company now and that is bust your bum work at times.
