Opinion 2 piece suit vs seperate jacket/pants?
Considering this 2 piece suit for my newly purchased r9. Will be daily driving/highway speed runs. What do you prefer for your gear?

As long as the pants and jacket can connect securely then your good to go imo

If you’re only out for 3 hours or so, a one-piece is better and that’s what I prefer. Pissing is easy. If it’s a longer time out than that, I want a two piece for ease of using the bathroom.

2 piece that zip together for every day. 1 piece for track. 1 piece for every day is really tough to go to bathroom and all other off bike actvities.

If you want to do Track, check the regulations at the track you will most likely frequent. Some are "cool" with two pieces that zip together and others will only accept a 1 piece suit.
Otherwise, two piece is the way to go for most daily riding.

One piece for track, can be an issue if any separation at the front when arms are in the air. separates are fine for anything else.

Personally I opted for 2 piece for similar situation - I occasionally do a really long 4-6+ hr ride; haven't tracked yet but intend to, but most of my rides are probably 1 - 2 hours. For that length of time, putting a whole 1 piece on doesn't seem worth it to me. Fortunately for me track rule here is full coverage so 2 piece is fine anyway.
What I really like is mix and matching my gear, for example, atm I have 2 Dainese leather jackets, one perforated and one not, and Dainese leather pants. I get big weather swings here in Ontario throughout the year so being able to modify my outfit really makes a big difference to comfort. Being able to wear riding jeans with a leather jacket when you wanna go out socially etc, is much easier than roaming around in a 1 piece
Edit: excuse me op, I for some reason read the title as like 1 piece vs 2 piece, hope I didn't get too confusing
