Sell me on a Aerostitch....why or not?

[cbsnbiker]

only issue I've heard about a 'Stitch from the owners I ride with is that the one piece suit is HOT in any kind of summer weather.

Especially bad when its humid, like it is here on the Gulf Coast.

I've ridden in 100+ degree weather while wearing my one-piece 'Stich.

If the weather is hot and dry, it's not too bad.

If the weather is hot and humid, it's unpleasant.

I have the Darien jacket and pants and have worn them now for the last 4 riding seasons.  It's been bullet proof in all sorts of weather and it's holding up very well.  I suspect it'll easily last another 6 to 7 years.  And, I love the fact that I don't have to pull over to put on rain gear.

For something else to consider, Klim now makes touring gear and if this gear is as good as their off road gear, it'll be good stuff.

Klim makes the Latitude and Badlands.

The Latitude runs just over $1,000 for the jacket and pants and the Badlands runs $1,500 for the jacket and pants.  I saw the Latitude set up at a dealer in Charlotte yesterday, it's good looking gear.

What fool would think of doing this??  

Yeah, what fool would think of doing this??  With white high top socks too!

FWIW on the Darien subject, It's interesting, today I wore my Roadcrafter as it's about 45 degrees here today, albeit a little damp and windy.

I've found the Darien to be actually warmer in the colder weather than the RC. I attribute that to the baggier fit of the Darien, lots of dead air space in between
your body and the jacket. Everybody knows there's no better insulation than dead air space. The snuggier fitting RC although heavier than the Darien, is
feels colder to me.

I run an Aerostich electric jacket under my Roadcrafter.  It gets too hot on the lowest setting and must by cycled on and off.
