Aerostitch
So, I followed Grex and Derf and a few others and got a Roadcrafter. I love it. though not going to win any fashion shows but hell I haven't been cool for 31 years... why try now?
anyways... I also picked up a couple other things... Combat Touring Lite boots... crazy stiff at first... but once broken in... I can wear them all day... actually have. I spent 6hrs walking around New Orleans in them... actually had forgotten I had them on. http://www.aerostich.com/aerostich-c...ite-boots.html the other was Insulated Elkskin Ropers... they're leather gloves SOFT leather gloves, with marino wool inside. I ordered a 9.5 as they said to order .5 size bigger than what their sizing chart said... got them in about a week... Not so much... couldn't get my fingers in... so I ordered 10.5's... PERFECT. They're the only motorcycle gloves I've ever worn and not had my fingers get cold at 60mph in sub 50* weather. in actuality it was mid 30's and I had no heated grips and my hands were quite comfortable. http://www.aerostich.com/off-and-rid...et-gloves.html anyways... just wondering if anyone else had tried the products from Aerostitch... for me it's 3 for 3... they maybe simple... but THEY WORK. |

oh and they stand by their stuff... the knee seams went out in the suit so I had to send it back. They originally told me it'd be about $50 a knee for the work... then they looked at the suit, and decided that the seams shouldn't fail so they warrantee'd it. it's a 2nd hand suit, originally purchased 6 years ago.. and they warrantee'd it. |

so I got a notification that my suit was being shipped back. WTF I haven't paid for shipping...
so I called. turns out they replaced ALL the ballistics (the elbows, shoulders, and knees) fixed the seams on some pockets... total $350... and charged my card. WTF?! I didn't authorize that shit... and didn't have $350 spare cash sitting around... so they checked into it and the guy talked to his boss to authorize the refund. he called me back in 10min... turns out... the entire thing was warranted and I wasn't charged for ANYTHING. |

After some postal debocle, I was finally able to get my suit to them $200 to add various snaps, replace every zipper, fix the knee and the ass, and all the velcro, I get it back next week.

Yep, they are doing the velcro and snaps for free. The snaps are on the legs and to replace the neck velcro which sucks

The neck velcro gets on my nerves. I may have to think 'bout the snaps. That's a good idea!

They are putting one on the flap and 4 on the collar so I can adjust it to be comfortable. There is still going to be some velcro lefty on so I can always use that. Ill let you know how the snaps work once I get it back
