Plus me too!! It is by far the best most durable luggage out there.If you decide to go away from the Alt Rider I can tell you everything I've got from Mosko Moto is amazing and their customer service is next to none. It's the only gear I even look for anymore.
I would go that way next time for sure.If you decide to go away from the Alt Rider I can tell you everything I've got from Mosko Moto is amazing and their customer service is next to none. It's the only gear I even look for anymore.
Disappointing that they chose to manufacture it in Vietnam and Bangladesh instead of creating jobs in Oregon. Made in USA is what I love best about Aerostich's riding gear.that Mosko Moto stuff looks good. Never seen any in person but if i did any real hard off road stuff the hard boxes would have to and would get something like that.
Agreed on Aerostich. Awesome products. $$$ but WOW!! They will also repair Clothing that has hit the pavementDisappointing that they chose to manufacture it in Vietnam and Bangladesh instead of creating jobs in Oregon. Made in USA is what I love best about Aerostich's riding gear.
Have you done any reading about that they explain why the founders of the company did that. They spent many years in Vietnam and fell in love with the country. They were trying to help their economy as it is a very poor area with few good jobs. I can respect their reason as it's not just to save a buck like most that do it.Disappointing that they chose to manufacture it in Vietnam and Bangladesh instead of creating jobs in Oregon.

I don’t believe it.Have you done any reading about that they explain why the founders of the company did that. They spent many years in Vietnam and fell in love with the country. They were trying to help their economy
Do as you wish, I've talked to them at expos and had dealing with their employees never once have I gotten the feeling they were being untrue or were selling me on anything. They've blown up in the past two years funny how almost every one of their designs has now been copied by one of the big brands in some way.I don’t believe it.
Just so happens they can make their stuff there at a much lower cost than making them in America.
I know several older gentlemen who spent some time in Vietnam & they didn’t think much of the place.
That’s all fine & dandy. I like their new designs. I had a set of the older 25L saddle bags & the 40L bag & hated them. Glad to be free of them. But I do like the newest generation & I’m glad they are offering an offset set now also (again).Do as you wish, I've talked to them at expos and had dealing with their employees never once have I gotten the feeling they were being untrue or were selling me on anything.

Well not quite. If you read their posts over on Adventure rider they chose to make overseas because that is where the textile base is for the world and they could not get the selection they wanted here in the USA which I’m sure there is some truth to. And I’m sure it’s the price point also.Have you done any reading about that they explain why the founders of the company did that. They spent many years in Vietnam and fell in love with the country.

The only post of theirs I read on the subject was one from 2013 in which they said their products could be made in Asia for a lot less money. Which translates into much higher profits since they aren't being sold at Made in Asia prices. Fair enough, that's capitalism. But maybe Aerostich owner Andy Goldfine should write a book on how to turn a profit selling Made in USA textile motorcycle goods. He's been doing it since 1983.Have you done any reading about that they explain why the founders of the company did that. They spent many years in Vietnam and fell in love with the country.
