Perfect
This second skin is wonderful. Lightweight, comfortable. helps to wear the suit. Not to mention that is very hygienic. It is my second purchase of this second skin and I recommend.

Good product for a good price
I got this to wear under my racing suit and it's worked out very well. I've rode in 80 degree weather and this suit keeps me dry even when I start to sweat. I really like that the zipper unzips from the top or bottom, this feature comes in very handy. My only critique of the suit is that it seems to sort of bind up on my knees. I have a Dainese Avro 2-piece suit, and the undersuit seems to grab the inside of it at my knees as I move around on my bike. Not a big deal, but I'm hopping it'll smooth out a little after wearing it for a while.

Does its job
Light clothing, good ventilation. The zipper is off-center, making it much easier to open and close it.

Warm weather rider? You want this suit!
I live in the tropics where temperatures exceed 32 degrees centigrade all year round with high humidity, so cooling is very important to me.
If it is to you as well, you'd do well to use this suit.
Fitment is great for my 6ft frame in size L
First of all, the material is sheer and has a very nice feel on your skin.
Things get better when you start riding. The benefits of its moisture wicking feature can't be overstated. This inner suit kept me cool beyond even my highest expectations (combined with my Spidi Track Wind Pro).
The more you sweat, the cooler it gets. It's almost amazing how well it works
The material is very sheer, which raises doubts about longevity (I am probably overworrying, the feel of the material is a plus and I'm sure alpinestars are capable enough to make a durable undersuit out of it) but after its first track day and wash, its basically like brand new. The stitching however, is high quality and I have do doubt the seams can hold for a long time
As an added bonus you get some nice cosmetics with the little alpinestars logo on the front and wording on the back
And of course its absolute icing on the cake that even when soaked with sweat after a 1 hour ride to the track, 2 hours at the track, and another hour home in cloudless 34 degree weather with 100% humidity, that the leathers just slide off your body in 20 seconds (probably the other big reason why if you havent already bought yourself an undersuit, you should do it right now)
Great product and very highly recommended if you ride in any kind of warm weather

Huge Difference under Suit. Good value
First off i'll say, if you have not tried an undersuit before, do yourself a favor and buy one. Probably this one.
It makes getting into and out of easier, plus its nice to have something between you and the suit everywhere on your body.
Its a great value. It is comfortable and flows air well. Your suit will limit the air flow before the undersuit.
You can zip from both directions - making bathroom stops easy.
I am 6'0 190lbs Athletic build and the XL fits me perfectly. The large I imagine would have been too small in the arms / chest. or at least much tighter.
The only draw back is, as others have said it seems very delicate. I'm not sure how it will hold up to multiple washings.

nice undersuit
The undersuit is well made, very comfortable. I haven't had the chance to get on the track with it but i'm sure that it will do the job it's suppose to well. I'm 6'2" and 215 lbs and ordered the 2XL . The undersuit fit me like a glove. Once in riding position it is very comfortable but standing up I can feel it wanting to be back in riding position. I think one size bigger could have been nice for comfort once off the bike.

Great Idea to Protect Leathers!
This particular undersuit looks and feels great out of the box. Material is remarkably smooth and confortable. Fit was good for me to: I am tall and lanky at 6'1" 170lbs and the large was perfect. The stretchable fabric makes the fit forgiving, though if you have large arms or legs, this product may not be right for you. My only concern about the durability and cost-effectiveness. I don't believe this will hold up in too many washings - make sure you win a few races with this thing on to make up for the cost, especially if you tear up the outside of your leathers often with falls!
