The whole gear-scene is still new to me, I knew I like tight clothing because of experience with wet suits but a full-body latex suit was new to me.
I decided to order from Kink Projects, specifically because I wanted a specific design for my first suit which they offer. Also they offer a affordable price and the option to get the suit chlorinated.
Ordered 1 Made-to-Measure catsuit and 2 hoods. Asked for chlorination for the suit, talcum powder finish for the hoods.
The suit I bought: KPMCA284. Male Basic MotoGP Branded Catsuit (has the Dainese logo’s I wanted)
The hood I bought: KPUMK001. One With micro perforations for the eyes and one with open eyes. Both with a open mouth a nostril holes because I wanted something I could breath in easily.
Decided on a 0.6mm thickness and chlorination for the suit after reading a lot of different posts on the internet. Went for 0.6mm because of a higher durability then 0.4mm thickness, I would not go thinner for a suit. Decided to have the suit chlorinated to have an easier time getting into the suit, taking it off would be easier anyways. Followed Kink Projects product page advice for the hood thickness.
It took a while (5 months) to receive the order. This I have detailed in a separate post
I was looking forward to getting my first suit but I was also nervous hoping everything would fit. I wanted a tight feel and look which is why I ordered the suit made-to-measure.
I was not disappointed. Because of the chlorination the suit slipped on really easy, the legs were almost like pulling on a tight pair of jeans. The top required a little fineness, here my experience with wet suits again became useful. The main difference being that I chose a front zip in my suit.
Again the chlorination really helped because this was also ready to get on and only required a little adjustment the get everything fitting correctly.
Good things come in small packages. For some reason I expected a larger package but everything was there.
The look of the hoods on their own is personally not my thing. But I ordered them for the express intention to combine them with my gas masks so I get a nice complete look without my hair sticking out. When combined with my gasmask I feel it looks awesome 🙂
The red hood is for a Drone mask I plan to buy from ForFun in the future. The red hood would make it that I have red eyes when wearing the Drone mask.
As I mentioned in a previous post the suit slipped on really easy, probably because of the chlorination.
When I combined the suit with other gear I found the look very cool. Especially the combination with my MX helmet and goggles. And as for de Sidi boots, well let’s just say I’ll take any excuse to wear those ^^
