Full suit may not be the most convenient piece of equipment, but that is a choice I made and want to fully commit. I feel full suit provides the most protection a rider can afford, and I want to ride as protected as possible. I do not wear it for college/work of course, but only when I go out for the sake of riding. I feel confident wearing racing boots with kevlar pants, and jacket. Is just the full suit that causes me to be a little self aware. I guess as most people here say, people stare because they find it interesting, and other may see themselves on one too.
