I wish someone had told me that when I bought my black Sparco a couple of years ago for a "great price" ...Live and learn

Matt- If I was in the market for a new suit I'd give serious consideration to this one...

I bought from OG Racing an X-Light 270. Very nice suit. Really light. Not yet used, but looking forward!

I have a suit from each of the manufacturers you mentioned for either racing or karting. Unless you go custom, you should try them on as each fit a different driver's build in my opinion. I'm 6'4" and 210lbs and OMP offered the best leg length without getting too bulky in the midsection. Alpine Stars was closest to OMP for fitment. Puma didn't have the leg length without adding waist size, and Sparco was even worse.

Everyone is a different size and shape, and just like helmets, a good fit is most important.

New goals set for the upcoming year...it remains about the people...the group of VIR a$$clowns is fortunate to know each other. I worked my way into my fire suit by not eating for the last six months....much better now...45 lbs less..

This is....MY TOWN!!!!

Just bought a Sparco X-Light on a close out deal. It's light as advertised and comfy down here in FL.
