2 Piece Track Leathers?

[Yorick]

Getting myself set up for my (hopefully) upcoming Cadwell day.
Just zipped my leathers together no problem. Still fit me

But the zip only goes 60% or 70% all the way round. Hard to measure with steel tape measure.
I never had my old 2 piece set checked, but heard rumours they check now.
Any info?

They'll be ok. Think they mean the little rear zip, 8 inch ish that are no good.

No Limits

A full leather 1-piece race suit or a fully zipped together 2-piece. The zip must encircle your torso, and there should be no gap between the jacket and the trousers when the zip is done up. If when you fully raise your hands it is possible to see any undergarments or there is a gap then this is unacceptable.

F.E.
A one- or two-piece leather suit that MUST zip together the whole way round, i.e. around the whole body

MSV
Full one piece leathers or two piece leathers that zip 'all' the way round (no skin or material showing when your arms are above your head).

Do they check nowadays?

That is all the way round on 2 piece leathers .....it cant go across the frontal zip on the lowers

Going by the photos up there ^^ those will be fine

In my post above, F.E., N.L & MSV say nothing showing with arms in the air.

I've had a brainwave. Attach 2 x 4" zips to take up the gaps. Woohoo.

Mine are the same as are everybody elses 2 piece kit .... as Dodgy said its to stop the small 8 inch zip at the back they are concerned about

Maybe i dont have as much above the waistband to push out the leathers

It's probably 10 years since I did a trackday though I did complete about 30!

2 piece leathers, never once were they checked. !

When are you at Cadwell?

When are you at Cadwell?

Nor booked it yet. Lots to sort out. Mainly flights etc.

Surely it's worth a quick email to the track companies they'll tell you ya or nay looking at them pics.

I'd have thought they'd have been ok but my opinion is worth toss all really.

If I ask them, they'll be double sure to check them

I'd agree completely. maybe @Alan PBTD can offer a TDO perspective, but i'm pretty convinced

[ChrisW]

They are 'all the way round' leathers - the MSV bit you quoted has 'all' in quotes too.

You don't have a throw away email account or 3 you could use ?

[Mr Moofo]

Just glue them together
