I am 6'2" and weigh 205 lbs. My Alpinestars Trigger suit arrived today. I have never worn a race suit. Giving my dimensions to sportbikeracinggear the recommendation was a size 54 Euro. They said Alpinestars sizes one large so you go down a size.
This thing is really tight. It is impossible to put on alone - normal I an told and standing it turns me into a monkey as it forces me over. I have set on the bike and the feeling is better. The tightness in the crotch goes away as well as in the shoulders. The knees remains tight but are not too uncomfortable. Leaning side to side the suit's tightness resists my motion.
Once I wear it outside I own it. I know these suits are designed not for walking but riding. My salesman suggest watching TV in it to allow it to loosen some. One salesman thought I should be in a larger size but it all comes down to is the tightness bearable to me.
Comments? Should I order a 56 just for sizing?
