My old suit might be a little large, look up the measurements on a Racequip size M/L , this is a two layer suit in average condition, I do however have a Butlerbuilt full containment seat that might fit you well

If you mean the Medium/Tall I think that would be a little too large. I wish I could afford the seat but I had to settle for a budgeted version to get out on the track this year. Just out of curiosity what were you asking for it?

Thanks for your reply.

sorry for the late reply, I forgot I had posted on here, Ill look tommarrow when im in the shop on the suit size your proubly correct Im 5-11, 170lbs, the suit fit me a little snug and short in the legs (Wertz is correct) Awsome Racewear is buy far superior in my book, I currently have a custom one produced by Awesome , If you can afford it spend your money wisely on your saftey dont cheat yourself (buying new proubly isnt a bad idea ,there again, if you can afford it) dont use anything less than a two layer with retardant underwear (if your in a sprint the fuel is right there in your lap) Headsock, gloves,ect, spend the dough on good shoes , Simpson has a good pair that I like that covers the laces (the first time a valve cover leaks you'll know why) I belive the lace covers are there for driveline fuild as well, never the less, they have thier purpose, look into a good head restraint , and full containment seat , get ahold of the best helmet you can afford (wieght does matter), Im under the assumption your just getting started ? Ive taken some pretty nasty spills , sh#t happens fast, try cover yourself (safety wise)before you get buisy this season , you'll be glad you did, Id ont care if you have a 2bbl 283 running on seven cylinders, prepare for the worst and you might walk away , alot of innovations have been made the past few years to keep us safe , dont be iggnorant to what is avalible, and ask other drivers the good and bad points about a specific piece your interested in ,

the seat is black powder coated im asking $600.00 (about half of what it retails new) its too small for me, Butler built seams a little heavier construction and better desighn than the Kirkey I presently use, Im just trying to upgrade also. Goodluck.
