1) As NoBull said...Wear a base layer. People seem to like under armor "heat gear" ( for when its hot and you get sweaty )...use under armor "cold gear" as a base layer when its colder out. Using the base layer will help you slide in and out of the suit easier. Make sure you use long sleeve versions of the products mentioned above. They also make leggings too.
2) Legs first....
3) Then insert one arm, then dip the shoulder of said arm and get your should into the suit.........
4) Stand up slightly and slide other arm in......then get your shoulder in................
5) Stand up, adjust final position ( I usually have to fix the collar on the back of my neck a little...........................
6) Zip up and go

One guy I know wears his suit a bathtub full of hot water. Not my preferred method. Just wear it around the house as much as you can, take some rides if you have time. Then, what Noupf said. Under Armour is good stuff underneath, but there are a bunch of options. Fieldsheer makes a one-piece base layer suit. Just make sure it fits tight and is slippery.

If you have a 2 piece zip-job, I like to put the pants on, put the jacket on (unzipped) and then zip the jacked to the pants. If you bend in the direction that the zipper is at, it goes on very easily. Like jfeagin said, ride with it if you can. I like to take a nice day off and go for a long ride (gel seat helps, too. Otherwise they boys won't be too happy). I don't know about the bathtub thing... But I guess that could work.

It'll get easier. For awhile, you'll be doing the "paddock monkey dance."
A* with snap in back protector IS a pain to get lined up sometimes. And my suit is not perforated.. hotter than a sonofabitch. Been thinking of sending it off to get punched but gotta wait until the midsummer schedule gap.

a little more expensive but u don't have to worry about it sliding around or bunching up in places like under armor or there equivalent.
