Im looking for something like Aerostitch that is a comfy full riding suit. I need some more protection than just my armored jacket. Thanks guys,

I have an Aerostich Roadcrafter but I dont have my bike anymore, so I might sell it to you if you want...

It is grey/black, size 42, one piece

I also have the Aerostich Electric vest to go with it.

 

how comfortable\practical is the aerostitch suit for riding in all types of weather?

 

you are not going to find a single piece of gear that can be used for all types of weather.

Here is what I use for minimal gear in all types of weather.
Cold-cool:
Textile armored jacket & pants with vents ie: FirstGear
(Textile is warmer than leather as a general rule. Leather offers the most resistance to abrasion.)

MC specific, Guantlet type insulated gloves.
Cool-hot:
Textile or perferated leather vented armored jacket and pants.
MC specific, Guantlet type leather/perferated gloves
optional hydration vest.

Same boots can be used year round.

Rain any season...
Rainsuit that can stuff into its own pocket and fit over your other gear.

 

The Aerostich is good for about 80% of the time, it sucks when the temperature goes above 85 or goes below 40. It just depends what you are wearing underneath the suit at the time. It is big enough for me to wear 3 or 4 layers of clothing for when its really cold. Actually in really cold weather, the weak point was my gloves. It is 99% waterproof, you can ride all day long in a downpour, and you might get a few drops through the suit. Rainsuit not required.

"Leather offers the most resistance to abrasion"



"We made 20 lb. sandbags out of denim, regular nylon, leather, and our 500 Denier Gore•Tex /Cordura Nylon, and filled them with a special mixture of silica and a marker powder. Then we suspended them beneath a heavily weighted platform and dragged them down the road behind a truck just to see them wear through. Ouch. Performance art? No way. A physics experiment? Sort of (our first abrasion tests inspired a cover story on abrasion several years later in Cycle Magazine). Repeated testing shows the superiority of Gore•Tex /Cordura Nylon over other materials. That’s why Aerostich suits are tougher than suits weighing twice as much."
