Default The Hump

What does the hump do on the back of a suit?

I'm not sure between these two:

2PC MOTORCYCLE 2 PC LEATHER RACING SUIT ARMOR GM 48 - eBay (item 330623086699 end time Oct-13-11 19:03:18 PDT)
or
1PC NEW MOTORCYCLE LEATHER RACING SUIT ARMOR HUMP 48 | eBay

I know "I get what I pay for" but I can't find anywhere that stocks them (in my size) so I can't even decided if I'll like a suit...so for under $200 shipped, this is a semi-safe gamble.

I put a bid in on the two piece...but I'm not 100% sure. The dude said I can swap my bid if need be.

Its aerodynamic creating a vortex reducing drag, also mine is perforated so air comes in it and cools me off. Dude those suits look kinda sketch. i spent $700 on mine but you can get them cheaper for other brands/models

I typed, and then removed, "lets not tell me not to buy them, where to get better deals, where to get fitted, where to buy them, the deals you got, how much better I could do, etc"...guess I should have left it in there

It's $200...I can't find any in my size nor in a price range that I'm comfortable gambling with on something I might not use. If I like it, I can always upgrade.

We all don't start out with 1000's Josh
