Default Alpinestars Octane suit? or something else

Hey guys. I plan on starting track days soon, and I m trying to find QUALITY leather, for a halfway decent price. I am under the impress alpinestars is one the best, so I want to stick with the brand name stuff, I like my skin just how it is. Ive heard of the huge companies like that "cutting corners." So now Im worried about the quality of the suit. Does anyone have any expierence with the suit or know of any REALLY good review sites? Thanks guys, cya.

another worry I had was with the armor. I dont believe its CE, or am I mistaken? If so should I upgrade with knox or alpinestars armor?

The back protector is not CE approved but they have a CE approved accessory back protector.

If you look up the jacket by itself it mentions the elbows and shoulder pads are soft CE approved pads.

I don't know if that is the same jacket as the one in the two piece suit or not.

Just go to www.alpinestars.com and contact them to find out this info. Button is on the bottom of the page.
