Great suit. Highly recommended
A little snug at first but after a few times of wearing it, it fits perfect. True to size. Great protection and great look.

Tried and tested
I've been using this suit for about 6 months now, this is my first 1pc race suit.
Sizing: the size i ordered was spot on for all of my measurments, and i can get the suit on, though i couldn't use a back protector and have quite the camel toe when standing up. If i had gone 1 size bigger i could wear the suit all day. This is only when not riding the bike, on the bike the suit fits like a glove, the groin has room again and freedom of movment getting the knee out is as if not wearing anything.
- The Bad - The zippers of the reomvable liner at the base of the quad don't end at the same point in the suit and liner ===-- so the zipps come undone while you wear the suit and dig into your thigh after a while, also, there is a heavy seam in the stretch panel on the back of the calf, which chaffes after a while. it's also fairly restrictive around the armpits (I'm no fatty either!#
The S1 stretch material is actually stretches i reckon only about 10%.
- The Good - The suit looks AMAZING! The leather is so supple it feels like you could rip it with your finger #you can't!#. In the tuck the suit is super comfortable #when you have the liner zips sorted# ventilation is great.
and the suit looks AMAZING! #you may hear "stupid sexy Flanders" from time to time#
I conducted protection testing a few weeks ago #haha oops# in a small wet lowside 50km/h #30Mph#. i slid on my knee slider and toe slider #so only a small rash on the thigh# before trying to stand up #oops again) and finnishing the slide on my shoulder #all on the track surface). This tore a chunk of the supple skin like outer layer of the leather but didnt hurt the suit structurally. I didnt get a mark, bruise, scratch or a sore ANYTHING, so top marks for protection!
I couldnt get black and white in my size that time of purchase so i got black. After seeing someone else with black and white im kind of happy i just got black, as the black white sort of just looked like every other set of leathers on the market the black seems to look a bit special.
I also purchased a set of Dainese Torque Pro Out boots at the same time which had a very minor fault and the support form Revzilla was truely OUTSTANDING!
I recomend the Avro if you have the dollars and like to look good.
I definately recomend Revzilla for their support and product information.

A+
I was a bit apprehensive ordering my first full suit but protection was a top priority for me. I am 6'2 and 190lbs (my weight fluctuates + or - lbs often) and the suit fits like a glove. The true definition of a second skin. Perf on the suit is awesome! It is summer here now in Destin, FL and the only time I sweat in this suit is putting it on and taking it off. Once you get moving you are good to go and the stop and go traffic is not bad when you go east. I would imagine it would get quite hot in stop & go. The protection, armor, looks, and quality in craftsmanship are unparalleled. At the time I purchased the suit it was a little out of budget for me but I bit the bullet for the protection.
The only thing I don't like about the suit are two minute things (not even complaints really). On long rides I develop some chafe on the back of my knees (3 or 4 hours on the road). There is not a built in pocket for a smaller back protector. And when you zip the upper portion off to cool down, there is no way to tie the arms together like you would a sweater due to the armor (again, I would rather have the armor!).
All in all, the fit is perfect and I haven't seen much out there that offers a whole lot more in the form of protection. Style is great and I am STOKED! : D
Cheers bros.

Amazing suit
This suit is incredible! When I first received it, the suit seemed a bit tight and almost impossible to walk in but as soon as I got on the bike and riding it felt amazing. The flexibility and movement that the suit allows in the hip/thigh region makes it feel like you're not wearing any pants at all - there is no restriction on movement whatsoever. Breathability is very good and the suit's removable liner makes it easy to clean if necessary. The armor throughout the suit is extremely protective yet nonrestrictive. I would highly recommend this suit to anyone looking for great protection, comfort, and breathability.

Saved My Skin
This suit saved my life. I have a ton of haters on youtube saying what a waste of money. I got up and walked away.. to me that is worth the extra dough.

Hi level of fit, finish and features.
Having used this suit for the last track season I am very impressed. The comfort level has helped me focus and improve my lap times. Size is accurate with the exception of being a bit snug in the chest area. This could become an issue when wearing bulky body armour beneath if not allowed for. I am using the Thorax Wave Pro, however it did take some stretch in time once I added the chest protector. Now I don't really feel like I'm wearing a race suit.

Very comfortable suit.
Very well made suit with attention to detail.
The leather is very supple and this suit is very comfortable with good airflow. Upper body is a true fit if you are not using a spine protector.

Dainese + RevZilla = Killer combo
Dainese isn't know for cheap products. But RevZilla certainly helped make this a bit more affordable.
The Avro is extremely breathable compared to my T. MC202 Div. suit that is discontinued. It is very comfy.
I can't wait for it to get hot out just to see how well the Avro really cools.
