That speed hump on the back is good for an extra 5 mph on top end. :cool:

What your kidding me right..

The Dealer said it was a headrest for squids doing wheelies Posted Image

Hey, we need to "rain" test it! :goofy:

Please let me know how it stacks up against the AGV Forza.

Congrats on the new suit.

I've been thinking of getting a Fieldsheer suit, how the fit of the suit compared to how their size chart says it should fit?

The leather is more flexible, I cant say for sure but the leather seemed thinner altho they advertise as both the AGV and fieldsheer as having the same thickness.
More Kevler stretch panels to aid in a snug fit..
Hard armor is not as big, Soft armor in shoulders. Zippers seem better attached. Also has Hip padding. Back aromor pad is better/bigger than the forza. Both have dbl layer leather in Key areas like the elbow.
All the armor seems to fall right into place in a seated position.
My AGV wasnt perfed but the fildsheer is and looks like it will flow lots of air.
The whole back is perfed except the Speed Hump.
Perf in Upper thigh, groin, and shoulders, also areas of breathable fabric . I doubt the "Boys" getting hot n sweaty will be because of the suit. Chest is perfed also with a few soft pad rib armor pads also.
I wasnt even warming up when I was wearing it. When I put on the AGV if Im not on the bike n moving soon Im sweating..

Overalll..
Better fit and flexibility
More Features
Hard armor is less protective IMHO
Better zippers and overflaps for them.

I was wearing a size 50 AGV Sport Forza 2pc that was a bit big but worked great for wearing winter layers.
IMHO the Fieldsheer Flex 1pc is on par with there size chart.
The size 48 is slightly tight in the shoulders, A little short at the ankle and wrist but overall a great fit, Almost seems tailored.
I had to remove the sweatshirt I was wearing to get the upper section on and still had on Blue jeans under the suit.
I havent tried it with my Icon Field armor vest but it seems to have just enough room to fit.
As with most 1pc suits if you try to raise your arms above your head you will hurt "The Boys"

I am 6' 4" 230lbs, 36" inseam, 34" waist and gaining. Most size 2x sweat shirts or long sleve shirts are a bit short on me with my long arms..
I still havent had a chance to test the suit on the bike but I reallly like it so far much better than the AGV.

NO..............................................................No..No.No..

But Im sure it will happen..

1 more plus..

It doesnt have 2" reflective letters across the chest that look like crap and you will want to remove Posted Image


Timmy..

I probably would have went with another Forza suit in a 1pc perfed but I couldnt find one for the $299.00 I spent on my 2pc..
The $100 difference in the Fieldsheer now seems worth the purchse I made though..

Hope it works out. Fit is important. My first suit was an AGV 1 piece, off the rack, fit OK.
Bit of a camel toe problem when I raised my arms. Later got a Z Custom 2 piece, plus custom fit boots, life is good. :beer:
