$200 would buy some extra gas for more riding.

True,I'm starting to lean towards the Technic because I'm cheap and doubt I'll wear it much.

I own the chicane suit. I love it. Comfortable, the airflow is is great and I can ride all day wearing it and not feel hot. It held up well through 2 wrecks, one was a slow lowside where I slid on my side and was able to walk out of the slide, and a highside where I slid into a curb and broke a few bones. Not a scratch on me though, and I truly think that the suit saved my ass from spending a few weeks in the hospital. None of the stiching broke.

The one spot that has worn more than expected is the velcro for the knee slider. I might have at one point worn through a slider and been rubbing the velcro against asphault, but all that happened bad was that the velcro got torn up a little. The zippers are all big ass metal zippers, on the front, both sleeves, and both legs.

Overall I highly recomend it. Great price for a very good suit. I'll try to take some pics of the damage areas in a few and post them

Teknic suits actually have a rep for busting seems easily. A lot of track guys had a ton of bad experiences with them. I believe Kyle owns that suit and has used it a few times in testing, I think he may have had a seem bust, but I can't remember for sure.

Thanks,I appreciate the help. For $300 it's har to pass up. besides,if I wear it 10 times,it'll be a miracle. On the other hand if I get a A* I might wear it more because,well I like the looks of it better to be honest. We'll see what happens,thanks again.

This is the damage to the ass from sliding on it at maybe 30 mph



Th damage to the knee from thinking I still had some knee puck left



The knee armour (there is about 1/4" of leather around this thing, plus another 1/4" of padding on the inside



The elbow armour, just a 1/2" thick piece of foam, but there is another 1/2" of leather built into the suit. the same type of padding is on the hips and the back. During both my wrecks neither area felt like it was in any pain, even though the highside ended with a rather abrupt ending against the curb stopping me cold breaking some ribs and my collar bone (a driect hit on my upper arm is where i hit).
