I don't see what he's talking about...

I'm thinking about having my current suit altered to do both like this... zip it up to wear in the boots, leave it unzipped to wear out of the boots.

Having asked the over under question a while ago I borrowed a suit earlier in the year that is an over the boot leg, and looks aside, it is more comfortable, it's one of those things you didn't realized that you missed it until you finally have it. There is also slightly more movement, not much but enough that you can notice it, noticably in the front to back movement.

Looks wise, people are used to seeing track suits tucked in the boots, anything out of the 'norm' looks wierd. I like the over the boot look myself.

Lookswise, over the boot is nicer. If protection is the same, go with what u like. I prefer over the boot myself

Just did a search looking for a picture of my suit and I stubled on a picture of marko that Gas took (at the bottom of the page)

Anyway back to the subject at hand, I started wearing my full length gauntlets inside my jacket, slightly more comfy.



and a picture of me in my suit, its tight in the crotch when I stand up but as soon as I am leaned over its super comfy.

I'd love to get a 1 piece. Just two things holding me back.

1. Price
2. Stinking it up.

I bought mine for $200 very lightly used, the guy said he wore it twice, I'm sure that meant a ton more, but the inside was clean and smell free. When I bought it, it was already a 2 year old design. It's really about just keeping your eyes open.
