Rider analysis:
Aaron Colton
(Red Bull stunt rider):
"To be honest, I am very
spoiled when it comes to
suit fitment. I have been
wearing a custom-fitted Al-
pinestars suit for years and
love them like a second set
of skin. It's been a while

patible, and a little more relaxed
fit compared to the race-inspired
GP Tech and GP Pro.
"This is an entry-level Tech-Air
suit that has the appearance of
a high-end suit, with updated
race-inspired graphics," said
Cofran. "You have a differ-
ent DFS slider on the el-
bows and a different one
on the knees. It's not as
high-end as the GP Pro
or the GP Tech, but you

comfortable high-end suit without

will some of the materials. The fit
