I'm confused by the sizing of a power ranger type suit to go with
the CBR, what sizes am I since I keep seeing online stuff size 42 UK
or Size 50 EURO, or even US , confuses me lots, and I'd like to get
something as close as possible to my own measurements to minise
any reworking with Joyda, (Jerry was a helluva lot cheaper down
south) and the fact that they are verra busy these days.

Moi

Chest 91.5cm
Waist 82cm
Hip at widest point 94cm
inside Leg 78cm,

sort of what size does this fit Hein Gericke / Alpine Stars/ Spidi/ Wolf,
bearing in mind they all vary their sizes and leathers need to fit or you
get that horrible uneven deceleration which may hurt.

Will be going to HG and J&S to try things on , later this week. Textiles
are ok , but I think its time for some leathery type things.

Any thoughts?

I think you'll just have to try them on, I've noticed that even same sized kit on the rack fit differently in the fitting room.

My leather jacket from Hein Gericke is a blokes 56, it fits a treat but I'm a 10/12 ladies size it was in the sale so must've been sized up wrong.

As above, trying on is usually the best way. Think eurorpean sizes are usually +10 on brit sizes.

My current tactic is to get a suit that should be /just/ too big off ebay and get them altered to fit - made to measure leathers for under £200 all in!

If you're an odd size (I am) then it's definitely a case of trying on as many as you can.
