Once you have your gear, put it all on and go for a ride on the street. Don't ride like a bunghole, just go out for a few hours and enjoy yourself. I am warning you though, you will feel all kinds of invincible with your gear on. So you will have to consciously hold yourself back a little. You want to see what it feel like to wear the gear while riding, and you want to sweat in it. When you get all hot and sweaty in your gear, the leather will begin to stretch and conform more to your body and the way you move. Today's leathers are really nice, and allow a lot of movement, but not everyone moves in the same way.

You will find that after riding a few times on the street in your gear, it gets much easier to get into and out of it. These riding sessions will also allow you to adapt your riding style that little bit that all the gear requires. You can't really build something that is going to cover you head to toe and not limit your motion in any way, its just not really possible.
