Always wanted one of these for cold/wet weather riding, Its on its way right now....

here

Dr E · 10-23-2009, 06:25 AM

You are going to love that thing right out of the box. I have been riding with a friend who has one...nice and toasty dry during the winter!

lagwagonlead · 10-23-2009, 06:30 AM

Let us know how you like it. Right now I'm using a two piece zip together, I'm thinking that might be a little more comfortable.

varment · 10-23-2009, 06:32 AM

Yeah, I do have a fleece suite I usually wear under my riding jacket and pants, but it is always such a pain to get layered up. I've wanted one of these for a long time but they have always been sold out of my size or cost more than $200...

Pony Trekker · 10-23-2009, 09:15 AM

Wow, not a bad price.

james1300 · 10-23-2009, 10:50 AM

add a heated liner and your ready to rock!
Let us know how ya like it!

You guys that can buy off the rack like that are so lucky. I'll have to do a custom made Aerostitch to be short and round enough for me. I'm working on the roundness, but can't do much for the under-tall issue. Nice suit though. Hope it works well for you.

nighthawker · 10-23-2009, 12:38 PM

youll love it varment. one piece is the way to go.

Pony Trekker · 10-23-2009, 07:02 PM

I got my size figured out, I might order one this weekend. The price is too good to pass up. Just gotta do some number crunching to see if I can swing it.

I saw a guy a little while ago that looked pretty miserable. He was cruising on the freeway, definitely not dressed for the conditions, what with the pouring rain at freeway speeds. He had on a sweat shirt, jeans (which were too short and riding up his leg), sneakers, no gloves... his hands must have been frozen.

Shrek X · 10-23-2009, 07:58 PM

^^ had more than 1 ride like that :(

how has he lived this long??

TwistedTimes · 10-23-2009, 09:52 PM

i've been looking at one piece rain suite for a while now too, that looks really good, please let us know what you think.

Some friends told me earlier this Fall that they saw a guy on a cruiser riding with his socks on his hands. Doh!

Thats what I'm sayin, price is too good to pass up a suit with liner and armor...

With Fieldsheer, most times you need to order one size bigger.... the size chart I think is meant fit people that are naked with not so much as a film of sweat on them, I have a Fieldsheer riding jacket that is a medium as are my other jackets but it fits my kids... I am going with a large for the suit...

Gwen

Oh trust me, its not going to be a perfect fit.... Its going to be a bit loose in the middle in order to have a suit that goes all the way to my wrists and ankles.... A leather racing suit if i ever get one is going to have to be custom...

UPDATE: Shipping was fast, 3 days as a matter of fact. Only problem is that my bank is in Texas, (credit union, long story) and they ship off your billing address, you can get it sent to a different address but they have to call you and verify...... I know this NOW!!!

So it arrived in Texas 3 days after I ordered it, and now I'm having to butter up the ex-girlfriend to ship it here LOL. I should definitely have paid more attention but hell man I was excited. Once I get it in hand I will do an extensive review with pics since more than a couple have shown interest.

As for the website, I have ordered close to $2000 of stuff from there, nearly everything I wear riding is from there with the exception of a helmet that I got from the classifieds here, and my main jacket I got from Ebay... I am really happy with their service, perfect orders everytime. Now is the time to order since at peak times it takes a few days to get out the door, especially with big orders.... I did wait a week one time, but the order was huge and this last one took 3 days with normal budget shipping....

Pony Trekker · 10-26-2009, 01:06 PM

I ordered one.

varment · 10-26-2009, 05:12 PM

I can see the awkward "showin up in the same outfit" situation now

Pony Trekker · 10-26-2009, 05:14 PM

If we can't decide on a place, it won't matter anyway.

My issue hasn't so much been the place, but the time... and I am really needing my 7500 mile oil change and service...

mustang1 · 10-26-2009, 05:18 PM

skip the heated stuff, with a a fleece suite under that you'll be fine. been there done that. you'll love your suit.great deal.

nighthawker · 10-30-2009, 11:32 AM

so are the suits here yet?

Pony Trekker · 10-30-2009, 02:47 PM

Just got mine. I don't have time to check it out in detail right now, I'm getting ready to take the kids to a Halloween party. I just tried it on for size. It's a bit long when standing, but perfect in the riding position.

DareBear · 10-30-2009, 03:06 PM

PHOTOS! (sounds like a Halloween costume!)

kirkcdl · 10-30-2009, 05:01 PM

TwistedTimes · 10-31-2009, 01:34 AM

I am Near ready to buy one of these too, but i want to hear/see a personal account before i buy it unseen, so give us your thoughts with some critique too please!!! and...

go ahead trekker, still negotiating the release of my suit from Texas....

Go ahead and throw up pics if you have any.... I'm kinda curious too..

STORY ABOUT MY SUIT:

As a security measure they sent my suit to my billing address.... this keeps people from using your credit card to buy stuff you don't ever know about. My billing address for the card I used is my ex girlfriends house that she still lives in and its never been a problem. I keep the billing address there since my bank is a credit union and you are required to have a Texas address. I get too many benefits to close the account down which is why it is still open. ANYWAY long story short she has agreed to send the suit to me..... as soon as she gets around to it.... (sigh)

cascaderider · 11-03-2009, 02:17 PM

That's some funny shit right there. LOL! By the time you get the suit and get pics up, they'll all be sold out. :(
