I bought my Aerostich in June, 1998 from the Motorcycle Leather Exchange soon after I bought my R1100GS.

likes:

• comfortable
• warm in the cold, cool in the hot
• very cool and spacesuit-like
• fast & easy to don and doff
• has good padding
• red

• needs a key pocket.
• makes me look like I've got a big butt.

I bought it used from some guy on the Internet. His story was that he had joined a racing team that supplied his gear and he didn't need this one any more. I htink it was because he crashed once too many times and his wife told him to get rid of all his bike gear.

likes:

• It fits me fairly well.
• It has bright reflective stripes.
• The joint armor fits wery well.
• With sweat pants and a sweater, it's fairly warm during the winter.

• has some scars
• waist zipper is breaking

I bought the jacket when I got my CB-1, then bought the pants when I got my R1100GS.

likes:

• built-in removable thermal liner
• jacket ventilation system
• comfortable

dislikes:

• black and invisible at night
• jacket zips to pants only at the back, not all the way around.
• 30" pants were a bit too tight; 32" pants are a bit too loose.
• Red panels on the jacket remind people of Michael Jackson.

• Bauer sport cup - No smushing my nuts against the fuel tank!
• Dainese back protector
• On a cold day, a sweater and a Schampa collar to keep warm
• Street clothes, or if I'm just riding, then sweat pants and a T-shirt
