I'm trying to decide between these suits:

OMP
Technica Light
Technica Plus

Momo
Pro Racer

Anyone using these suits? Likes/dislikes? My requirement is an FIA & SFI rated suit that is on the lighter side as it can get a little warm down here in Texas.

I would go ahead and spring for the OMP Technica Light, but I'm not so sure about the knit knee area. The Momo looks very nice, but it's a bit more expensive so it's a 3rd choice.

As for sizes it's a wash. I'm 6'5" and @ 210 lbs. Length is the only sizing requirement as these suites are for big & tall not just tall. I can get my mom (expert seamstress) to tailor it for me when I visit during the holidays.

the $599 technica light closeout price is a steal!

Nah, I want a 3-layer suit. That is a 2-layer suit.

I concur... ...just ordered a fat guy technia light in blue; I'll look like the blue berry girl in Willy Wonka.

I just started racing this year and was using a friend's old Pyrotect suit that was too small... ...it looked spray painted on and I was miserable.

I just picked up the Technica Light too. Now for the fitment check.
