You may call me Mr. Geek

As do I. This is what I wear. (See the picture in the upper right-hand corner). And it definitely inspires the comment listed in the diamond at the bottom of the page.
Worth every penny too.

I'm well aware of traffic in your neck of the woods HRH, I'ved lived in that vicinity a few times over the years. Riding alert is paramount! I took a motorcycle safety course through Action Motorcycle School in Surrey a couple of years ago. Great place, great instructors, I highly recommend it to anyone interested.

PS thier website is down for an overhaul otherwise I would have posted a link.

Blexcroid, I've never heard too much negative about the Aerostich stuff. That is definitely on my list of must haves. I was looking at a red '06 Majesty but after seeing that high vis yellow I think '05 grey or '06 silver would be a better choice, although I'm sure blue looks pretty good with it too :wink: .

Blex,

Did you pay over $700 for your suit? I know that proper protection is worth a lot, but $700+ is just a little too unreasonable for us po-folks!

I've found - real good deals - to real great steals -on riding stuff for myself over the years. All it takes is legwork (or fingerwork as in ebay)
and patience. Being stingy also helps

I also have the Areostich suit, and love it. I vary the amount of clothing I wear underneath it, so the suit works for both warm and cold weather.

I figured otherwise I probably would have bought a couple of different weight jackets and riding pants, not to mention additional rain gear. So buying just one Aerostich suit actually saved me money, even if the initial cost was high.

Then look at their "Specials" area. The suits listed there have been sent to someone to try on and returned because it didn't fit. Those suits are in the $500 range. I specifically wanted a Hi-Viz coloured suit, so it was worth it to me. I would rather spend the money on safety gear than anything else. I'm not ready to become a :angel13: yet.
