teknic chicane 1 pc. suit

p00kienrayray · 05-10-2008, 11:00 PM

A friend's gonna pick one up for me on wed. got it for $300 brand new from another friend's shop. i was actually looking for some a* pants to zip up to my a* jacket, but he quoted $280 for em, so i was thinking might as well get the suit for 20 more.

i tried it on today at his shop and the size 44 fit me snug as a bug!
i'll go out and give it a try as soon as i get it. its the lower end teknics suit, but hey at $300, you can't beat that!
also anyone know where i can get some cheap knee pucks? whatever brand doesnt matter to me really, the suit doesnt come with any...

That's what I have, and that's a pretty good deal. You'll like the suit, it's very well ventilated.

As for cheap pucks, a lot of times the shop at the track will sell cheap pucks, I know JGP sells some for $10.

Yea I liked how its perforated in the chest and thigh area. And I found that it wasn't as hard to put on as all the reviews said it was. Like I said the size 44 was rather comfy for me both in crouching position and walking position. Thoroughly impressed so far. Can't wait.

I've got chicane pants. They are solid. You'll like the suit for sure. The Teknic pucks are cheap enough. Nice find, brother.

I asked my parents for it for my birthday that is the 22nd. Hoping for that in silver. How close are the actual sizes to their size chart?

In my experience it runs a tad small. I wear a size 50/52 in teknic, and a 50 in Alpinestars. I would recommend trying one on, or at the very least trying on a jacket made by teknic before you order one.

I've got a 44 jacket that is overly loose. The problem is going to be the waist. I am short and fat at 5'8" 200 lbs with a 33-34 waist.

if you're a 34 waist like I am, most likely you'd fit a 44. But try one on if you can.

just picked it up, havent put it on yet cuz its still fuckn hot right now.
ended up getting the red as it was the last in the popular 44 size.
doesnt come with pucks, but i dont care cuz i only paid 3 bills.
