Track day with no leathers?

[wiffers]

I'd like to try a track say, mainly to get more used to my bike and cornering etc

I only have textiles though, not leathers (RST RIFT)

Do any tracks let you go on without leathers, or is at always mandatory?

Is it advisable?

Thanks

you must use either a one piece or a two piece with 3/4 zip..not the small zip at the back it must be a 3/4 zip..

Wait till you done though you will raise why you need leathers

Unfortunately mate H&S has kicked in.... Some places won't even allow a 2 piece with 3/4 zip now. 1 piece or nothing.

Can't remember mate... I think Phil Gale discovered it while trying to organise one for himself.

Bugger, I think my zip is 3/4, but still 2 piece textiles

nope.....never found that

have a look in bike chat i have done a thread about track days, its pinned at the top....

but as JTA says 1 piece or full zip round, but after coming off at oulton get a 1 piece....i dont trust the zip to hold it together

As phil has said take nothing to chance i spent an extra £40 getting a stronger zip fastened on my leathers (westgate rd newcastle) when i came off at cadwell i was doing about 100mph and mine survived ok but if you can i would recommend a good <====== good one piece

ebay, cheap 1 piece to get you through your first track day.

if you like then buy some dearer ones!

[Guest]

Borrow a set of leathers off a friend . just for the day .

Good idea bigup!

OKay, but what size, I'm a weird shape (gym lots) ?

48" chest

48" hips

36" waist <- small

18" biceps

29" thighs

5'8" tall, so 30-32" innser leg <-small

so 2 crucial measurements are small, rest are fairly big

My current RST 2 piece is 38" wasted trousers, and thighs JUST fit, and XXL jacket (48-50") . But no way I could put that on when zipped together.
