Aerostich Rider Wearhouse

(12 reviews)

$$$$

I am enthusiastic about Aerostich. Their suits have saved my skin (literally, in the correct use of…read morethat term). I have owned three of them over time, and I would not hesitate to buy another. I gained weight, and the first no longer fit; both the second and the third remain in service, and they look fine. Here is the background. I started riding in 1992. I had wanted a motorcycle from my teen years. My parents of course would have none of that. I bought a Honda Hawk GT when I was an adult with my first "real" job. Over the years, I have ridden other bikes. I owned a BMW for about a decade, a behemoth that was great for touring but too heavy for the urban commuting. I'd regard myself as an experienced rider, but not a hooligan. I am always in protective gear: suit, helmet, boots, and gloves. I had studied the options back before I acquired the Honda. Aerostich was already in business. I ordered a two piece red suit. It was an extravagant purchase. But I figured it was not expensive relative to its function. I also planned to use it regularly. I did so. If you take into account all the considerations, I would regard it as an excellent value if not an outright bargain. I was using a Shoei helmet before the Schuberth ones became readily available. I had Aerostich combat touring boots, and I like them, but I have concluded that other than for long trips they are too much. I have different brands of gloves, and the mom and pop outfit who made the deerskin ones I favored has long since been defunct. I also have the waxed cotton jacket, an earlier generation. That would not offer much crash protection. I wear it out and about as well. My wife is not fond of it due to the padding, which makes me bulkier and with more edges, a bad combination. After riding across the continent, I was hit by a car in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco, at that very intersection made famous during the Summer of Love. I was partly at fault. The teen driver, who lacked insurance, swerved when I did not expect and knocked my rear wheel out from under me. I was passing him on the inside, which is a cautionary story about lane splitting. Although I was traveling maybe ten miles per hour, I had enough forward momentum to go down and slide straight into the curb. When I walked into the UCSF emergency room, the triage nurse said you're the first motorcyclist I've ever seen walk into the ER. The helmet did not show any sign of contact with the pavement. I am glad I had it on of course. But the suit had enough scuffing (not enough damage to even warrant sending it back in for repairs though) that it was clear if that had been a layer of clothing I would have lost much of my epidermis and faced a very painful and likely lengthy recovery. As it was, I only fractured my pinky finger, and the doctor said to me, we can't do anything for you, it'll have to heal on its own, but a hairline crack like that will never be fully back to normal, and when you are in your fifties you'll probably have developed arthritis there, and you'll feel intermittent pain -- and the prediction was accurate, but on the scale of things if being hit by a car damaged only my pinky finger, I'm fine with the outcome. I've logged many miles in the Aerostich suits. I haven't gone down since 1992, but I will vouch for this product. I probably have ridden zero miles without donning this outfit. Other than in the coldest, hottest, or wettest conditions, it is perfect. While I would ride to ever so slightly colder than is comfortable in an Aerostich, the addition of a balaclava and a vest take care of the issue. I ride in the summer, and on the highway you're fine; I would wear only a t-shirt and shorts underneath if you were planning to be in stop and go urban traffic on a summer day. The water resistance is just shy of perfect. In a downpour, you will have leakage around the zippers. That is to be expected. it would be impossible to do much better, without undue weight and problematic complexity. I like the look too. You could not rob a bank in this costume. I tell kids I'm the Yellow Power Ranger. People take notice -- you want that while out there, to ensure you, as riders say, keep the shiny side up and the rubber side down.

Terrible customer service!…read more This company was recommended to me and I was excited to get an R3 suit for myself and another one for my dad. I found a sale suit in my size on the website, ordered it and received a confirmation email. 3 weeks later never received the suit and called customer service who told me my order didn't exist. Was informed that the computer system glitched on their end and they cancelled my order. I asked if I could re-order the suit and was told that it was sold. I asked if I could get a replacement suit for the price I paid and was told they would sell me a different one for $161 more! If I owned a business and it was my companies fault an order was messed up I would make it right. Also 3 weeks later the suit I originally ordered is still listed as available on their website! Not very organized.
