Aerostich R3

[thughes317]

Bought this a year ago, put @ 1000 miles on it (not even broken in yet). Size 46R with minus 2" below the knees, color gray with black abrasion panels. I am 5' 10", 220 lb, 32" inseam. I just don't wear it (prefer a two piece setup).

$900 shipped CONUS. Offering it up here before I post it on ADV Rider.

Feel free to hit me up if you have any questions.

front and back are the same color....just crappy lighting. Front view is the best representation of the true color.

Aerostich suits are the best! I'm on #2 after crashing in #1 and wouldn't want to ride in anything else. Made in USA as well.

I agree! I finally got my 'Stich a year ago and wish I would have gotten it sooner. This is a highly refined piece of equipment with all the right pockets, vents, and comfort. I wear my Roadcrafter from 20 degrees to over 100 - all season long.

Had my ‘Stitch since 2005, it is not the warmest kit in winter and yes, it does sometimes have a leak at the crotch sometimes, but it is still brilliant!

Are you guys trying to convince me to keep it...........or help me to sell it?

Too bad it's not a few months ago. That's about the same as the earnest money I'm about to put into a new house. And it's cut just for me. I measured out exactly that at a pop-up event.

FWIW, my original Stitch (now called the classic) was like that, but the R3 is completely waterproof. It's basically a shell so the clothing worn under it determines the winter warmth.

Yes, it is all about layering depending on the weather. As I said, my ‘Stitch is 15-16 years old and if you are careful, you can prevent the rain water pooling in the crotch area to avoid leaks, it’s not 100% successful mind but I still wouldn’t be without my ‘Stitch

Does the leak happen with the Tenere? I've had two Roadcrafter Classics and never had leak issue. Seemed that if your bike had a windshield that would prevent the rain from pooling in the area.

Yep! It has happened on my BMW R1150GS, Honda ST1300, Buell Ulysses, Kawasaki Versys 1000 and my current Yamaha Super Tenere. So yes, no common thread here but I would be interested to know your secret. It does tend to rain rather more in U.K., (especially in Wales!), than it does in SoCal

You need to make sure the folds of the suit in your lap area lay over each other like shingles as opposed to facing upwards where they can collect water.

Which armor does it have ( TF3, TF5 ? ) Any additional armor ( back protector, hip armor? )

TF3: knees, shoulders, elbows and hips......no back armor.

Check with Aerostich but I think back armor is readily available. It was for mine

Nice folks. Plant is in an old building in Duluth, MN. If you are ever there, drop in for a tour or to visit the factory store.

Correct: back armor is optional in several configurations and readily available.
