Default Suit sizing issue, please help

Hey guys,

So I am getting a new suit. I am looking at the AlpineStars Octane suit. I tried one on in size 46. It was a little tight, but not that bad. They didn't have a 48 so I couldn't try that on. I guess my question is, should I wear a tighter suit or a looser suit?? Would the smaller suit break in? Thanks!!

-Josh

I had to get a custom suit to fit me. It's the tightest piece of clothing I have ever worn. The person who made it told me it is supposed to be form fitting so all the armor stays where it's meant to be. Hope this helps.

Ok, yea, that does help. That is kinda how it fit, so I think that I will go with the 46.

Thanks

PS-How is the RC-51 treating you??

Like a torture rack!!! Hahaha!! It is really cramped for me, but I also really like it - just in short doses.

I have an RC-1 suit that felt like I couldnt breathe when I first got it.

Be assured that they stretch in the places they need to, you just need to sweat in it a few times.
