I've got the RC-1 one-piece and it's a nice bit of kit. Wouldn't want a one-piece for regular road use though, but it's great for the track.

Bought from Ridersdiscount.com while the aussie dollar was good :kuda:

i just bought myself an RC1, just the jacket, i also have the alpinestars Track pants.. Good juju's.. Highly reccomend both.. Only thing that pisses me off is its a bit short in the arms but thats it really.. Its a good jacket, comfy as hell.. Keeps me warm in winter.. as a 1pc when i stitch them up comfy as hell.

Id def get one tho if u got the coin for it... Worth it!

I was looking at getting a RC-1 but then I saw the new A* new line. I'm liking the GP Pro jacket, which is priced the same as the RC-1, but haven't heard much on how good they are.

nice, just bought the smx-5 boots to replace my self styled marlborough man boots and alpine stars back protector didn't want to get laughed off the track due to duct tape, probably should have got the ventilated ones though going to be mega hot in the heat

Managed to get the following items for $1275 USD from the STG site in the states, can' t believe if you were to pay with paypal it would cost you .91 cents in the doller given what the AUD is valued atm, hoping these boots are,'t as bloody narrow as the smx-5's.
