Hi everyone, newb here, I look forward to running in the Oct Chicago race. My question is this, can a two piece 3.2/5a be used. I see the dirt cheap ones on the site are one piece and the rules make no mention, unless I am blind or can't read (the later might be partly true). Thanks for the help.
I have run with a 2 piece ProFoxRacing (http://www.profoxracing.com) suit and have been very happy. Their underwear is lightweight and dries quickly. Their 3 layer 3.2A suit has a higher TPP than other suits. The only down side is that they are heavy and fairly hot. I like being able to take off the jacket when not in the car. Also it is better to find a jacket and pants that fit, they can be different sizes.
As long as you're wearing both pieces, a pants/jacket setup is just as good as a onesie.
Thanks, I figured, just didn't want to buy a two piece and then have it rejected on race day.
2 piece suits scare the crap out of me, although one of my team members has one. You figure by the time you would need it, there's too high a risk of burning your belly, especially if someone is pulling you out by the shoulders.
The overlap on my suit is something like a foot. Add in the fact that the TPP rating is higher than most one piece suits and I'll take the chance in order to have a suit that fits. That being said, if someone offered me a comparable one-piece that was light, fit well and cost the same amount I'd take it. Anyway, check out the ProFox suits (one piece and two piece).
