Yeah they do look stealthy or sure. My toes are kinda cramped but that's always been an issue with my wide feet. Atleast they are snug.They're comfortable and look stealthy under jeans right?

Teknic Chicane Black/Silver 2007 Size 42 and Alpinestars S-MX Bionic 2 Protection Jacket Size Small (Shown here with Shoei RF-1100 Solid white)
1920x1080 available = http://anonymousmotorsport.com/gear_reviews/week2_loots/Chicane+A-stars_armour.jpg
This pictures is only to show that under the one piece Teknic Chicane suit I will use the S-MX Bionic Jacket for this year's track days.
Teknic Chicane Black/Silver 2007 Size 42 and Alpinestars S-MX Bionic 2 Protection Jacket Size Small (Shown here with Shoei RF-1100 Solid white, Teknic Violator Gloves Silver/Medium and Teknic Violator WP Boots EU size 43)
1920x1080 available = http://anonymousmotorsport.com/gear_reviews/week2_loots/Chicane_one_piece.jpg
I just purchased this one piece Teknic Chicane Black/Silver 2007 Size 42 from my best friend (he grew too big for it , lol). It's primary use will be track days and/or hypersport street riding. I don't think I'll use the Knox elbow, shoulder armor nor will I use
the entry level Teknic back protector that came with the suit, I will use the Alpinestarts S-MX Bionic 2 jacket for the upper body protection as pictured above. I never ridden this combo yet, but I shall first chance I get.
Teknic Chicane Non-Perforated Jacket Size 40 Black/Silver with Teknic Chicane Pants Size 30 Black/Silver (Shown here with Shoei RF-1100 Solid white, Teknic Violator Gloves Silver/Medium and Teknic Violator WP Boots EU size 43)
1920x1080 available = http://anonymousmotorsport.com/gear_reviews/week2_loots/Chicane_two_piece.jpg
This setup I got late in the season last year, but I love it. It fits me perfectly, the size 30 euro spec pants fit me like a glove, same with the size 40 non-perf jacket. I use this setup late October for a Tri-state ride over a weekend, felt great.
Teknic Violator Jacket Size 40 Black/Silver with Teknic Chicane Size 30 Black (Shown here with Shoei RF-1100 Solid white, Teknic Violator Gloves Silver/Medium and Teknic Violator WP Boots EU size 43)

I think this combo pictured above logged most of the 12k+ miles of 2010 season. The jacket comes with a vest liner witch I used more than you would think on cold condition riding. Frankly the jacket feels a bit big for my small frame, but feels good overall. The pants, for some reason , again they fill a bit big baggy, almost like they were designed for somebody wider but the same height. I can't really explain why the Black Chicane pants, feel big and the Black/Silver witch are also size 30 fit right on the money, but they do. This combo took most of the abuse of the season (from riding through heavy storms to 90+days) and performed well. I think if I can build some upper body(and at the same time drop the gut) to fill the jacket this combo will fit me well, plus it performed well for a 1000+ mile day back in May of 2010. So I think we might have a winner here.
Tourmaster Transition 2.0 Jacket Size XSmall Red with Tourmaster Venture WP Pants Size Small Black with Tourmaster Solution WP Boots Size 9 Black and Cortech Winter Scarab Gloves Medium Black (Shown here with Shoei RF-1100 Solid white)
1920x1080 available = http://anonymousmotorsport.com/gear_reviews/week2_loots/Tourmaster.jpg
This is my gear of choice if heading into a bad storm, no questions about it. I used in Colorado this year through some really rough storms, and been dry underneath all along. I am using just the jacket, with all vents closed it can take cold temperatures, and with all vents open will take 90+ weather and filter it into a comfortable ride to you. The ultimate cold weather test will be next month when I'll use this setup (except the boots and helmet, I'll use winter insulated boots and my HJC helmet with a double lens visor and breath box) of course I'll update this thread then with the feedback gained during that weekend. Overall I'll rate Tourmaster as Fair quality product with very good functionality.
Quick update: went snowmobiling for several hours and the this Jacket/pant combo performed well.
AGV Breeze Jacket Size XSmall Black/Red with Icon Field Armour Leg (Shown here with HJC CL-15-Draco Red helmet, Xelement Boots, AGV gloves and Levi Jeans)
1920x1080 available = http://anonymousmotorsport.com/gear_reviews/week2_loots/AGV+Icon.jpg
This would be my summer going to school outfit. Not as protective as the rest of the gear I own, but the minimum necessary. You could call it my squid gear, but is the minimum I find necessary.
Oh and by the way:.... Cheers Mates!!!
P.S. If anybody has any questions about this thread or items described here, feel free to ask and I'll answer to the best of my knowledge.

:iconbeer:You seem to be swaying from your namesake beer:iconbeer:
I'm not quite on Heineken's first riding season gear whore pace, but I'm trying! Self-birthday present, I ordered the following last night:
Sidi Vortice Boots
Dainese Alien Leather Pants
All so I can properly enjoy (and survive intact) my mid-life crisis.
I opted for the Vortice because I love the tensioning system on my Streetburners, and without them the ST and Vertigo were a bit loose in the heel cup, or if I went down a size my toes were mashed when I walked.
And the Dainese Alien because they look like an excellent pant and with my waist size (I'm a sizeable lad) all the other manufacturers expect me to have the inseam of a 7 foot NBA center. These will likely fit nicely, if maybe a tad long.

So am I a gear Whore or a gear Pimp?
I got these for racing but wear them on the street too with my racing leathers. They are more comfy than my Alpinestars S-MX 5 boots and a lot more protective.

Yeah, I am stoked to get this stuff. Top end motorcycle gear seems expensive, but I play ice hockey as a goalie, and once you get accustomed to the sticker shock of THAT equipment, this stuff doesn't seem bad at all. These boots, these pants, a top end jacket and a high end Shoei helmet all together will run you right about what my goalie mask alone cost me.That's a real nice way to spend 1k
Unfortunately, all my hobbies are expensive...trust me that is NOT by design.
Interested to see which gloves you get and what you think of them.
