    Wife will be doing a 2up session with me for both days.

    We will be acquiring a suit from STT to use for the 2up session only.


    Problem I am having is that the measurements don't work together.

    For example.....she is 60" tall which is equivalent to a XXS suit but her bust is somewhere around a L.

    If I opt to get a suit that fits a majority of her measurements, the legs and arms will be like she is wearing my suit. But if I opt to order a suit that fits her height.....she will never be able to zip it up. And she prefers to wear a back protector.

    She wears a Small in A* "Stella" mesh jackets... if that helps..


    I would have created a post in the women's section...but there doesn't seem to be much activity there.


    Anyone's better half vertically challenged like my wife (even though I cant say much myself being 5'8" hahahahah) and have this issue? How did you overcome it or what did you order/buy?

    She has never put a suit on to "try-on" or for "fitment" reasons. Should I be taking her by some cycle shops to try on suits?

    This will be for Barber...so I have about a week or less to figure something out so Cyndi can get the order placed.


    Thanks in advance!

    I have a small suit that my adult, vertically challenged daughter wears when we go out in 2up sessions. The fit isn't as perfect as you'd want for a suit for your own track use, but it works okay for the 2up sessions. IMHO, you won't want to be shooting for your most competitive lap times in the 2up sessions anyway, so perfect fit isn't as critical as making sure your passenger has a fun time out there.

    Yup! That's my goal. To allow her to enjoy herself and see why I drag her out to the track as often as I can.
    Will you be at Barber in November running 2up?

    I will be at Barber that weekend, but I don't think my daughter will be able to join me. Feel free to look me up, if you want to borrow a pair of small gloves or boots or anything, because I keep my daughter's stuff in the trailer. I'm usually pitted on the lower level against the hillside.
