stand 21 is my fav, light, soft and very very comfy. but oh so $$$$$$$$$$$$$$, usually over $2k

next would be sparco xlight HC and there's another model on top of the HC. those are what i wear, too cheap to spring for the stand 21

Like my Sparco X-Light. But pretty much anything now is enjoyable compared to the true fire suits we had when I got my first one in the early '80's. And we thought those were high tech........

+ Another for Stand21. Guys are great to work with no BS. Great on fitment and design . Also I had a warranty issue on visor and they exchanged no drama no problem.

I like my puma suit much better than my sparco suits...much more flexible and ergonomic fit.

I choose to call it a driving suit. Alpinestars GP Tech. Lightweight and breathable.

Outside of the custom Stand21 suits (they are just that nice)

For the non custom suits I've tried on pretty much every suit out there and I really like the OMP One suits that are just hitting the market. I also just started using a Alpinestars GPTech and it is so nice and stays as cool as any suit I've ever had.

I have no experience with the stand 21. I do like my sparco X-light. My experience may not be relevant to most here as my cockpit is pretty well ventilated.
