So I am finally getting some leathers (Alpinestar GPU) and was wondering whether you guys would suggest a 1-piece or a 2 piece. The only benefit I see to getting a 2 piece is that you can use the jacket without the pants (I already have a good jacket). Other than that it seems like 1 piece is the way to go. Am I missing anything else? Are 1 pieces more uncomfortable? Thanks for your guidance.

A one piece comes across as more track oriented IMHO.
At rest stops you can take off your jacket with a two piece and walk around, a one piece you need to let the top half hang down as you walk around.
Just remember as long as your two piece has a 360 zipper it is a track legal suit (at least up here).Kyle

What are you planning to do with the suit?
For almost anything other than track days, a 2 piece is probably going to be more practical.
If you ride to go places and do things other than ride when you get there a 2 piece is going to be better. If you just go out and ride for a few hours, a 1 piece may be more comfortable.

I have the one piece and love it. There are times I wish I did have a 2 piece for the reasons stated above. When I do go out and ride hard I wear it. When I am going back and forth to work or to a friends house I just where my leather jacket I have. It is all in ones preference. If you plan on doing track days later on I would go with the 1 piece and if not then the 2 piece will do just fine.

I have both....no doubt about it...2 piece
1 piece is designed to be comfortable in the riding position...very uncomfortable when you are off the bike...not to mention a BIATCH to get on or off.
as long as the 2 piece is matching...then it is more then adequate for street riding and the occasional track day.
