Or A Very Short Blog Post

If you own, wear and enjoy your Aerostich gear, please tell your friends about it. Our ability to continue as a solvent, successful business depends on your positive recommendations, stories and referrals.

We all came back to work during this past week. Now we are busy making gear for the back-ordered sizes and colors which were not in stock when the orders were received when we were closed because of Minnesota’s pandemic quarantine. Everyone working here is now wearing masks, using sanitizers, sitting farther apart and taking a bunch of extra precautions. We each must take our forehead temperature every day when we arrive and make a written record of it. Lots of little changes but we sure are grateful to be back.

We are now refilling our stock, making Aerostich gear, and catching up on back orders.

All Aerostich suits, jackets and pants were literally the world’s first embodiments of an entirely new kind of rider’s gear, made using new kinds of materials combined in an entirely new recipe for durable and comfortable protective riders gear. Everything in riders gear today, made using modern synthetic fabrics with modern plastic zippers, using modern impact-absorbing foams and incorporating modern reflective materials, venting and pocketing, is a copy or riff on Aerostich gear. No matter how others promote their latest products every year as being ‘new and improved’.

We continue refining and making Aerostich armored textile riders’ jackets, pants and suits here in America, and they are not marketed like most other consumer items which are constantly being ’New and Improved!’ for mostly either fashion or marketing reasons.

We’ve been doing it this way for thirty-seven years.

With some kinds of things, the original is best.

Share your Aerostich gear stories with your friends. And with us. Thank you, and good riding.
