Tracy, Your video is great. I'm glad your Roadcrafter has met your requirements, and hope it will continue to do so for many years and thousands of miles. We don't represent the Roadcrafter as a waterproof suit in our marketing materials. Although the fabric is waterproof, and all of the seams are sealed, the main entry zipper can leak in some situations. Your Hayabusa's overall design minimizes this, and in the car wash video your body position further minimized the chances for a leak. Later this year we are probably going to add a place on the Aerostich website where our customers can share or link to videos. When this part of the website is functioning, we will add a link to yours -- I'm sure many other aerostich suit owners would enjoy seeing it. I appreciate your business, your interest in our company and products, and most of all, your encouragement. Thank you, and good riding! If you are ever riding in our area, I hope you'll be able to visit us in person.

That's pretty cool - nicely crafted reply.


Tracy - you're not gonna believe this.

Yesterday, 10:07 AM
***Sold*** Aerostich Roadcrafter One Piece great condition
SOLD! Size 42, Hardly used, Great shape, Black and gray, see picture at http://gallery.me.com/rv_pilot#100144 Asking $400.00"

Popped up on ADVrider & it's the exact size which A/S's sizing tool recommends for me, and 1 of 2 color patterns (or lack thereof) which I would have ordered myself if buying new. Is that coincidence/fate, or what?!? Look familiar?

You make a great salesman!

Unlike most gear these days, Aerostich does not design their suits with a short lifespan in mind.

My suit is about 4 years old and has 40,000+ miles under it's belt. It is in excellent condition and I do expect to get many more years and thousands of miles out of it.

That suit has done you well. I have a feeling that you will have that suit till you decide you want something new just because rather then because it wore out.

BTW I loved the video. I think you need to give it the brush car wash test next.
