But there are more options these days and I'm confused. I'm leaning towards Aerostich as I'd prefer American made vs. this sort of situation:
Gawker — Today's gossip is tomorrow's news
The contenders:
Roadcrafter One Piece Suit :: Aerostich/RiderWearHouse Motorcycle Jackets, Suits, Clothing, & Gear
Olympia Stealth One Piece Mesh Tech Suit - RevZilla
Olympia Phantom One Piece Suit - RevZilla
Roadcrafter Lightweight One Piece Suit :: Aerostich/RiderWearHouse Motorcycle Jackets, Suits, Clothing, & Gear
I've read a bunch about them. I think ease of entry/exit is my #1 priority as I find the main thing that keeps me from riding to work most days is rolling out of bed late and not wanting to fool with (or having the time to) packing an extra bag of clothes and suiting up. So those couple of factors have me leaning towards the Roadcrafter, but I know the suit is a little on the warm side and with summer coming the stealth looks tempting. Plus, you have the light version of the 'stich coming out, but I'm not crazy about the color options in it (and that goes for the Stealth and high-vis Phantom, too).
Okay, now that I've talked though this, I'm finding I still think the standard Roadcrafter is the ticket. So, aside from the opinions on which suit to go with, what about fit? I've looked at the sizing chart, and see that they are designed to fit over street clothes, but does anyone use one that likes to wear their streets a bit baggy? I'm just wondering if I should go a size up since I'm not wearing those purple girl's ball-smashing jeans the kids are wearing these days.
