My Berik one piece was $845 and is a size 60 (US 50). I didn't fit into Dave's size 50 Collins very well but the Berik leathers have heaps more room.

Actions at Parramatta. They retail for $999 and you can get them off the net for around the $800 mark so when they offered it at $845 I figured it was worth the extra to get it straight away and have somewhere to take it back if something went wrong with them.

then

http://www.ridersdiscount.com/street-ge ... LPINESTARS

I've bought most of my stuff from there, i went to bike shops to try it on but where I couldn;t find the gear i wanted I used the chart. Out of most of the sites that ship international they seem the best. If you email them they'll give you 10-20% off the listed price with $25 shipping.

If you dont mind waiting a 2-3 weeks.......

You have no chance of fitting a 50US/60EUR Alpinestars suit. They are a smaller fit than Collins. I have heard they do make bigger sizes than this but I have never met anyone that has seen ever seen one in person.

Cheaper to go with Gimoto custom fitted than DBT but both are at least double what I paid for the Beriks. Lets face it, if I fit into the Beriks, Disco will have no problem.
