pants and a jacket, because then you can rock the jacket around town.

From what I've seen, onepieces seem to be a little lower quality than the equivalent (looking) pant and jacket combo.

id rather just get a matching setup so you can mix with all your other jackets and pants and wear the jacket around town like someone above said. but one pieces look soo comfortable ive always wanted to try one on

I would never wear my jacket around town, but I like the pants and jacket, becuase then you can get a couple different setups going and mismatch them. Or you can just ski in the pants in the spring.

1 pieces are warmer, but P and J are better cuz you can wear a tee and pants in the spring, but ur F-ed in the A if you are wearing a toasty, cozy 1 piece.

jerseys and tall tees have no place to poke out of one pieces. but seriously ive always wanted a one piece but if i got one it wouldnt be my only outerwear.

pants and jacket are so much better,
-wear the jacket around town
-wear the pants without a jacket
-easier to move around in(not attached to the pants limiting movement)
-you can button the pant and jacket together with most setups
-easier to customize colours and other pants and jackets

well they both have there ups and downs. i have the HH francis 7 1 piece and i love it to death. warmest thing ever and stronger and more waterproof material then ive ever had on pants and jacket. it has billions of pockets and i could pretty much use it as a sleeping bag. the only downside to it is that if you fart in it, then dang. your fucked. farts stay in them for soooooo long even with vents open and the smell just comes right up towards your head.

AND it zips into a two piece. at the waist theres a zipper all the way around and all i have to do is unzip the zipper and undo a few buttons and Voile! I have a 2 piece. soooo yeah.

Francis 7 suit > everything

One peices rock, but I'll agree they are death to hike in.
If you're sick of getting snow in every possible place on crashes, look into getting one.

But to answer your question, the Helly Hansen Francis 7 is the best of both worlds.

when you have a 1 piece and you go in for lunch you always end up running around in your long johns. And all the people look at you funny.

one pieces are go nice
easy to move in
real warm
when you fall snow never goes up your jacket
and you can buy a carhart one for cheap
and just rock ski pants when its warm and one piece when its cold

i was thinking about getting a 1 piece but i figure spring riding would suck in one and i dont have the money to get two new setups this year

if you can handle two setups one-pieces are great but they are super warm for spring conditions so another jacket and thin pants is nice. I'm on my second one-piece and i have no regrets but i tend to get cold easy and dont much like getting snow in my jacket or pants so the one piece was an obvious choice.

Exactly. Jacket and pants look sicked i think. Plus I dont like a constant pattern through a whole suit like on the medic. But I've tried a one piece, and they have their advantages, such as your pants not falling down and snow not going down your back or into your pants if you bail
