Whichever fits best.
I found the beriks didn't fit my shape, they were good up around the shoulders, but I couldnt get them over my thighs.
Try the beriks, they get a good rap from owners.
Hype has a skippy leather set I think.

G'day, there are some good offers on Alpinestar CR 1 piece suit on eBay for a VERY reasonable price. Since Alpinestar doesn't make CR suits anymore you can now find them for under $600.00!!! Copy and paste the lynk below

I bought one a couple of weeks ago but haven't received it yet. You can also watch some reviews for this Alpinestar CR suit on Youtube.

hopefully i wont have that problem, the beriks look like a wider shape compared to the very tailored gimoto suits... going out to parra today, prolly pick up some dirt gear too!!

can't complain with the Berik at the discounted prices...
I've got the Capirex 1pc (Kanga) picked them up from Actions for $800
many have crash tested them (including myself) and they've held up well.
My issue is that i'm between sizes.. had to go up a size for the upperbody and therefore the mid is loose and legs a little long so had to have them cut & stictched
I've just gotten myself the RS-Taichi (NXL302) in my original size.. the difference is this model has got a gazillion stretch panels so it fits me proper..
