Tex013Pro 1 race suit
Anyone here use Pro1 , from Texas .
I am looking at their light weight pants 3 2A-5 and wondering anyone has them . Sizing ? I am a pretty skinny guy 135/138lbs & 5 10 1/2 .
Currently i have to wear braces as stretch waist wont hold em up . These have adjustable waist straps seem a better idea .
thanks in advance

Curly1I think the Pro 1 suits are the best made. The -5 are lightweight and cool. The waist band stays tight much better than other brands I have used even in Texas heat stepping up on my tire to get in. I would call them and talk to Charlotte to get best size for you.

329LI use a Pro 1 -15 suit, and its the most comfortable jacket and pants i have ever had. Ive warn a -5 pro 1 and it was very comfortable as well.

Tex013thanks for all the replies .
As I have asked is waist sizing similar to your jeans .
I am a 30"jeans so am on the edge of either small/tall (26-30)or medium (30-32)

CURTIS REEDTex, I can't answer your question because I don't use their stuff but I'm kinda in your same boat.
31" waist, long legs and long arms. I'm only 5' 11" but I buy long jacket and pants to go with my monkey arms. LOL

GoobI wear the pants that are too large, with braces as you would say, because in the summer I just drop the pants between rounds to keep cool.

I just wear em all day when racing . no sence scaring anyone with my chicken legs.
To be honest its a pain in the arse having to wear braces . I'd use a belt but none have loops . So Pro1 seem bestcompromise

If it were me, I’d purchase both and return the one I didn’t want. This way you have a better choice at a small return expense.
I like everything about the Pro1 product other than the only one color offering for the jacket.

TheBlueTruckI had belt loops sewn into my pants by a friend. It was even done with Nomex thread. I have the thread in my trailer if I need to prove it.

That’s much easier in the states though.

Tex013thanks guys for the replies . Markemark I might well look at that idea , see what they can offer on shipping and return options . A little up front but quicker and easier solution .
And if they have belt loops , time to give them a call this week .
