You're crazy.

Kushitani and Taichi are absolutely superior in their construction and leather used. Spidi and Dainese comes close to those two with their high end suits. Both Kushitani and Taichi don't mess around with low end product.

The only suits I've seen in person that go over boots are flat track race suits....

Also their leather feels really soft & supple. There's a lot of Alpinestars and Shift that feels really stiff, like cardboard.

BTW I think RS Taichi is the only one with the silk-screen technique.......and they only put in on their $1200+ suits, not the $800-1200 ones.
I agree on fewer pieces=better crash protection. Dainese and several other companies use a separate piece of leather for every color. Icon layers the colors on and Kush and you say RS silk screens the colors on. I don't know for sure but in my "crazy" mind, I've crashed Icon, Dainese, A*, Joe Rocket, Technic and AGV and my Icon stood up the best. Of course every crash is different so...

I just saw an add for Dainese in the latest AMA mag and it had Rossi in the "over the boot" leathers I immediately saw it and thought it looked odd. My leathers would never fit over my boots.
