But now that I picked up a mesh jacket for summer riding, I've pulled them out again. The only complaint I have about mine is the color -- I got them in tan. So when I'm fully kitted out, I look like a walking/riding grocery bag.
They've never leaked and I've had them for several years. But they're the original FT, so I have to be careful about keeping them away from the exhaust.

"Wearing an Aerostitch means you never have to stop to put on a rain suit." You'll also never be seen doing the "one-legged hop" on the side of the road. ;D
I agree, how comfortable is a waterproof suit in 90+ temps, even if it has zip open vents? I'm already discovering that with the wind protection on the Connie I'm a lot warmer than I was on my Vulcan, and the temps are only in the 70's here right now. I can't imagine how it's going to feel in another month. I'll take my mesh gear and if it starts to rain too hard, deal with the one legged hop.Cap'n Bob said:Ranger Jim said:I have to agree with Steve Smith.

But are your legs sweating in the pants (as well as the jacket). My Venture pants and Intake mesh gear will keep you pretty cool, but require donning rain gear when needed. If I'm going to sweat like in Aerostitch pants (like my normal venture pants when warm), then I figure it's probably better to be wet once in a while rather than every time I ride in the warmer months. Just wondering.
