Go for the one piece. The hump also just kinda gets in the way if you ever wear a backpack or a camelback. Wear what you will wear when you try them on. I went one size up. I wear my one piece until it gets in the low 80's. Above that, I'll switch to leather track pants and a mesh jacket. This is how I dress everytime out.
Things to consider also:

1. I wear bike-shorts and amored shorts under my leathers. http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com...de-Shorts.aspx

2. I also wear a back and chest protector vest under my leathers.

3. They should fit snug without being constrictive.

4. Most are perforated which is great for temps above 65, below that you'll want some extra room for wind/thermal liners.

5. Who cares how people look at you or what they think. Phuk them! Full leathers are the best protection in a crash.
