1 piece suit sizing (pics)

picked up a Kobe Misano 1 piece suit brand new for $220!
But its..umm tight. i can get in it as long as someone helps hold that zipper away from my arm as i get my arms into it.
the thing litterally fits like it belongs as a part of me, though im not sure if thats too tight. i have just enough slack to put in a back protector right now. Not sure how well suits stretch with all the stretch panels here and there, so i posted up a pic. I litteraly have almost zero slack everywhere, if i return it, ill have to dig deep into my pockets to buy the next size up since they no longer offer this model, and the 38 is the only size left (ebay Misano suit if you are intrested) i am 5'6 155lbs with 38 inch chest exactly. i am all torso no legs, i had to throw in a cup so the suit would stop trying to slash my balls in half. if my forearms were any bigger ( i have chicken legs for forearms) i woudlnt be able to get into this thing at all.
so how tight is too tight? lol i really want to keep it.

Jebus, mang. Thank you for that horrifying mental image.
Have you tried sitting on the bike while wearing it? Have you tried GETTING ON the bike while wearing it?
I mean, you bought the suit for riding, right?
RIGHT?!

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

oh god no, im using this suit to fullfill some sick obsession with leather.
sorry about the image
, yea i sat on the bike. it feels okay. its still pretty damn tight. just wondering how much leather suits stretch. so far the body heat and is softening it up and it feels much better. im not uncomfortable in it, and it doesnt bother me, its just im use to being able to move.

Are you wearing it over bare skin? Try finding some very thin, lightweight long underwear (like silk) and wear it under the leathers. They will be more comfortable for moving around and also actually feel more comfortable on a hot day.

If you need help getting in I'd say it's too small. If it's so uncomfortable it's castrating you it's too short in the torso. That issue will probably hold true for a slightly larger size based on your body type.

Very good advice. It also makes getting out of your suit a one person job. There are several products out there just for this.

tahnks somegirl, i threw on my old swimming leggings and a long sleeve underarmor, it only took a few seconds to get in this time and much easier to get out.
I found the psycleskins undergarment on SBTG.com but at $80 bucks per a 1 piece suit...its kind of a huge rip off. Im looking online for a 1 piece polyestersuit and the best thing i could come up with is a zentai suit....for those who dont know, its very thin lightweight 1 piece polyester/nylon/spandex suit.... originally for the mocap guys, then into japanese fashion, then worn as a sexual fetish..but hey its only $30 bucks.
guess it wouldnt hurt to go to a sex shop to see how thin they are. i live around 22 of them within walking distance.

underarmor is great for this... it also helps wick sweat away.

There were a bunch of cheap base layers on clearance at oncycles.com recently, I got a couple of sets and they're pretty nice.

just checked, nothing on sale anymore .
though im ebaying some Long sleeve compression polyester workout shirts. should be perfect.
i can get into my suit by myself now. sitting in it and drinking beer all day really got it to contour to my body. I just need to get a set of leggings now and sew my own padding onto the hips since i cant find anything that has removeable armor. Also need a backprotector. then its boots.
damn i need to work my corner a bit more. lol
thanks for the help guys! UA hit the spot.
