You may not speak or read Chinese (neither do we), but 1.3 billion people do, including a Chinese-based customer who thought the characters for Ai Si Qi are a meaningful translation for Aerostich. Makes a statement, and in our opinion is a cool looking shirt design, too. You be the judge. Actual Mandarin translates as “Love and Think Riding” or “Happy Good Rider” or something. Made in USA. 100% Cotton. M-XXL. Green.

A coil cord for connecting the vest to the motorcycle. The ultimate in simplicity and reliability. Remains flexible in all temperatures. Stretches from 1.5'–5'.

That cool bike you've got sitting between your legs is officially recognized by the U.S. Federal Government as much more than an amusing toy. These are exact replicas of the signs above the HOV lanes across the freeways of California. They are a reminder that motorcycles are given extra privileges because riding them is social good. We all know that. Unfortunately most of your neighbors don’t. They’re positive motorcycles are self-indulgent toys -- Including yours. Let them know all fifty states have a totally different view, and have installed signs like these above our busiest and most congested roads to announce and declare: MOTORCYCLES OK. Officially. No equivocation. The government knows that choosing riding helps all of us, every time a rider gets on their motorcycle instead of getting into a car. (...thanks Brian)

Strong is the power of the car side, with strength and commitment you must defy four-wheeled transport. Then, only then, a rider will you be. And ride you will. 100% Cotton. Black. M-XX.

WINDSTOPPER® fabric is 100% windproof and half as thick as TLTec Wind Blocker fleece. Black. S–XXL. USA.

This connector is used as a suit side entry pocket pass-through, and eliminates the need to thread the power wire through the side entry zip in one piece suits. The SAE end plugs into the electric garment, ending in a QuiConnect 2 coaxial male connector (inside the suit). Captured by the side entry zip or powercord port, this connects to a 6.5" QuiConnect 2 female wire with an SAE end to connect to the standard switch coil cord (outside the suit). The elec-gear wire pass-thru in all of the one-piece suits (Classic Roadcrafter, R3, R-3 Light) was inspired by Steve Hall, who called it the 'Hall-Pass'. Thanks Steve!'

Comfortable, form-fitting, expanding foam. 33 dB.

A narrowed set of TF3 knee impact armor that's more comfortable than the standard riding--suit sized TF knee armor inside the knee armor pockets of Aerostich Protekt Khaki's and Jeans. Same height as standard TF knee armor (10") but 1.5" narrower (6" vs 7.5"), so it fits and feels better in these pants. Also will fit the knee armor pockets in Classic Roadcrafters, R-3's, Darien and AD-1 pants. A fitted black Supernyl bag encloses each knee armor pad.

You just can’t find this sort of heavy-duty 9 oz. long sleeved 100% cotton shirt anymore, not even at those incredible hardware stores you see in rural small towns. We’ve sold this style shirt for more than 25 years, but when the original supplier recently started making them somewhere else and the quality got crappy, we found another manufacturer still making them right here in the U.S.A., with better durability and higher quality than the originals.

It’s perfect for riding because it combines superior comfort with cast iron durability. Like denim, it becomes better with multiple laundering and wear. You won’t see this shirt on someone else unless they’re driving an ElectroMotive diesel. White & blue. M–XXL.

Probably the most secure place on your person to keep money and valuable papers. Adhesive hook & loop attaches a secret fold-over wallet made of thin nylon to your boot’s inner calf or front gusset. Large enough to hold a bunch of money (or whatever else you don’t want found). For some reason neither thieves nor third world border inspectors check moto-travelers smelly, dirty boots. (?!) Hmmm...at least not Greg’s. Set of two pockets: 3.25"×4.5" and 6.75"×2.75".

Rejuvenates the water repellency of tired, worn leather clothing and accessories and replaces water repellent finishes and conditions leather. Prolongs the life of leather gear. 10 oz.

Say you park on the sixth floor of a large parking ramp when it suddenly comes under heavy attack by a group of militant anti-motorcyclists and the only way out is a 200 yard slide down a lightly insulated power line straight onto the roof of a neighboring building. Would you trust your current belt for that slide? I don’t think so! These belts are for those who need to be able to count on their gear in the worst possible scenario. We love them for jeans because they fit very comfortably, look cool in all situations, and are lightweight. In a pinch they can be used as an additional tie-down strap and the fall-rated buckle is easy to use and infinitely adjustable. These types of extreme belts are hard to find in these widths which fit standard belt loops. Simple, classy, and strong, like Bond…James Bond. Lengths measure: Sm. 40", Med. 44", Large 47.5".

You know who you are. You’re among friends here...but across the world of ordinary people, regular workplaces, common hardware stores, consumerized shopping malls, offices, workshops and chain grocery stores…the Road Grimed Astronaut goes a long way. Because most people have no idea.

Let us explain. Do people in grocery stores and gas stations see your onesie coverall or teched-out armored adventure suit as peculiar? Have you ever ridden past a bedraggled looking group of bevested and bechapped riders standing around under a freeway overpass smoking cigarettes and waiting for the rain to stop…and did you smile inside your helmet as you went by? Do bearded hipsters regard the uncoolness of your wonderful habiliment from saddles of their fenderless aircleanerless purified bikes or (more likely) thru their car windows as you ride by them in traffic on a cold dark day?

If some of this is slightly familiar, you are a Road Grimed Astronaut. You have the right stuff. So you might want this.

This cotton hat feels and wears nicely and absorbs sweat well. Best for general all-around wear.

Additional Information/Resources:

Merino wool is the finest, softest, itch-free wool available. This lightweight 160gsm jersey feels like every inch of that. It will keep you warm, yet won’t make you overheat. It’s versatile enough to wear as a primary, mid or under-layer and comfortable enough for lounging around the house. The neck is cut slightly higher for warmth. Machine washable. Stone or Black. 12 oz. M–XXL.

Far better than 'afterthought' jacket liners. More durable, comfortable, functional and versatile.

Their reversible design includes seven purposeful pockets in a black Supernyl fabric shell, including dual hand-warmer pockets, a side entry drop-in ergonomic left side chest pocket, a top opening chest pocket on the right side, two large zippered compartments behind each hand warmer pocket and a large zippered pocket across the lower back that the entire jacket to self-stores neatly within for packing and travel. Inside-out when packed, with integrated webbing loops so it may be safely attached to your bike, or worn on a belt like a fanny pack. Also works well as a sleeping or reading pillow when camping.

The wearable-both-ways liner also features underarm zips which perfectly match those on Darien jackets to provide superior venting adjustability and more comfort across a wider temperature range. You'll also appreciate the handlebar-friendly longer sleeve lengths, a just-right collar height and the comfortable stretch knit wrists and waist.

Because they are reversible this liner may be worn fleece-on-the-inside for great air-trapping warmth, or reversed to help it slip on or off faster within a Darien (or any other) outer jacket.

The grey TLTec Wind Pro model features a thick, dense 200 wt. wind resistant “super fleece” which is extremely breathable yet provides 4x better insulation and more draft resistance than common department store fleeces.

The blue TLTec Wind Blocker version is made with a slightly thinner and even more highly windproof 100 wt. fleece that offers 2X faster moisture wicking than other windproof fleeces, while retaining good breathability for all day comfort. It's also marginally more compact-to-pack. Because of its slightly more wind-blocking TL Tec, it also offers a bit higher insulation level (as measured in lab testing) than the noticeably thicker Wind Pro model.

Wear either as a cold weather comfort layer inside a Darien Jacket, or alone as a casual/off-bike jacket. Wherever you are going, both eliminate some of the weight and bulk of traditional liners, and both are equally long-use durable. They both feature a durable water repellent (DWR) finish to keep you drier and more comfortable thru the wettest conditions.

Either version will wear a good deal warmer than you'd expect on cool mornings, and both compliment a Darien jacket perfectly. With all new Darien jacket construction an optional zip-in liner zipper (#375) is available at no charge, but most wearers prefer to simply wear these together, without this complication. It's faster and easier. Machine washable. Sizes 36-54.

The unfortunate reality is those of us who choose two-wheeled transportation are outnumbered on the roadways by drivers sealed inside 4000lb glass and steel cages. They are often oblivious and frequently distracted. 100% cotton. M-XX. Grey. Made in America.

A clean, comfortable chest-pocket tee featuring our logo right where it can’t be missed. It’s simple, dependable, and proudly carries the kind of understated branding that says, “Yes, this is a pocket—and yes, we put our logo on it.” Brown. 100% cotton. Made in USA. Medium-XXLarge.

Weird if you think about it, but nirvana for your feet. Advanced nanotechnology permanently melds the ancient beneficial properties of bamboo charcoal into the natural fibers of this sock. The result is a supple and incredibly comfortable 200 thread count knit that continues to get fluffier and softer with each washing.

Every fiber is infused with charcoal to provide true odor eating and anti-microbial properties within a unique three-dimensional weave pattern that delivers exceptional moisture wicking ability. And (…“but wait, there’s more!”) as the socks are worn and heated by the body, good negative ions are also released, promoting increased foot health and improved circulation. Made from renewable organic materials, these luxurious socks are not only good for your feet and your health, but are good for the planet too. One wearing will make you a believer. S/M (6.5-9), M/L (9.5-13).

One of the best technology crossovers from bicycling to motorcycling is padded, stretchy shorts. If you’ve never worn these things on a long ride, you owe it to yourself to try a pair. They seem to add another couple hundred mile range to a day, as they keep fatigue at bay longer than yer basic briefs. These are a modified version of bicycle shorts, cut slightly shorter in the legs, and with all the Lycra and fleece of the originals. Put a stop to chafing, stay comfortable and keep riding!
