I have a 2-piece leather A-star suit. I wouldn't want the hump personally. Maybe I'm wrong, but it always looks like it makes people a bit hunched over and wouldn't be as comfy on the back, but I'm shooting in the dark there and really don't know. I'm comfy in my regular leathers. I have heard the hump is more for speed, and really you're talking tenths of a second. So if you're not racing, I wouldn't worry with it, personally.
I wear my mesh gear on daily rides and my leathers up to the mountains or on REALLY long rides.
Mine is tight, particularly when sweating during my runs through the mountains. It did stretch out after I wore it several days, however, when it gets wet (or sweaty), it does seem to tighten up a bit. I learned that the hard way this past weekend when taking the twisties of Hwy 28 in the Smokies and we encountered a torrential downpour!
I hope this helps some! Ally
