Riding in the Alpinestars Motegi v1 Stella Suit
Motegi v2 Stella
The newest version of the popular Motegi Suit for women.
As you may remember, I recently completed another track day with California Superbike School on July 31st. My husband and I loved it so much, we decided to sign up again on August 21st. So I thought it was time to get a suit, as I know I will be doing more track days in the Spring.
So I ordered up Alpinestars' newest women's suit, the Motegi v2.
I ordered a size 40, which I could never fit with Alpinestars in previous years but my body has changed (although my weight hasn't) in recent months so I'm finding myself needing a 38.
It's a fantastic suit, the problem for me and women like myself who have very little to offer in terms of curves is that it's too loose now.
What's really difficult is that when I tried to size into a Dainese 40, I could *barely* get my hips in and then I couldn't zip it shut! My waist/belly was too much. I would have to loose 1-2 inches in my waist minimum to get that to zip and even if I did I couldn't get a back protector in there. If I sized up then I'd have it too loose everywhere else.
I have a 35" chest and this size 40 easily fits another 2-3 inches in the chest. This 40 now fits like an old 42. if you're looking for a 1 piece with ample waist/belly/bust room, this suit is definitely for you.
Need room in the thighs? Yep. Need room in the booty? That too. Race suits for women are few and far between. If you google, you'll basically find three companies offering suits:
- Dainese
- Alpinestars
- Spidi
Between these three brands, Alpinestars will offer you the fullest fitments.
So I did what any woman who only had a week to figure out a suit would do, I tried the previous version, the original Motegi (v1):
