My brother-in-law and a riding buddy both have Aerostitch and love
them. The latter bought his in the new high visibility yellow and
even when it's dirty it needs a volume control. The former has "road
tested" his on a roadside scenic stop at the mid-point of a downhill
turn (on a borrowed Triumph, no less) and swears by the protection.
I'm seriously considering the two-piece, probably buy the pants first
as I have a Heine Gericke Dakar jacket. The Dakar is great most of the
time, excepting +85F and sub-32F rides. Also need a new pair of boots,
I'm leaning toward the Sidi Strada or Aerostitch combat tourers. Anyone
tried them? Also, anyone tried those Dainese spine protectors?
