time for new leathers - one piece or two?

The knock-off under armor-like stuff I had didn't wick all that well. It was like wearing a plastic bag in hot weather. So I kept dropping by Sport Authority until I caught some real under-armor on sale/clearance and got a few pieces each of heat and cold gear. IMO, it's one of those things you can't really skimp on.

Regarding 1-piece vs 2-piece suits, I've had both and find 1-piece to be more comfortable. I never separated the 2-piece between sessions at the track or on gas stops during street riding, because getting them zipped back together again was not a one person job, unless I took the suit off.
