A hat like this is a simple thing. It seems. But not really. The purpose of this cap is to be compact enough and light enough to be able to be stored un-noticably in the front long-zip pocket of any of an Aerostich (or other) riding suit or jacket, so when your helmet comes off you can protect your head, and shield the sun from your eyes.

After a great trip you wash the bike and There It Is: big, rubbed-right-through-the-paint dull area, ...right where your pack, straps, and bungees went. ($$$, sh_t.) This anti-slip, padded, cut-to-fit foam covered mesh can save your bike’s paint from a thousand abrasions or scratches on your next trip. The most carefully loaded duffels and soft bags can ‘walk’ due to road and engine vibrations. Place this durable 3/16” thick reinforced pvc mesh between your bags, bungees and bike bodywork for maximum protection and increased load security, no matter how rough the road conditions. If you can predict a problem, you can prevent it. This versatile stuff is also great as a tool drawer liner in the workshop, an anti-skid sheet on a dashboard, or a vegetable bin liner in the fridge. Very durable, too. Black. 24” x 36”.

The fastest, most comfortable, versatile and easy way to carry stuff on a motorcycle, scooter or bicycle. Triangular in cross-section, messenger bags wrap around your back and stay in position when riding. The original ‘Courier’ size holds a small briefcase, a few magazines and some files…plus a tablet and notebook computer with room to spare. It is the most versatile and best selling size.

All are constructed of 1000D PU-backed Cordura nylon, with a seamless bottom for maximum strength and durability. All also feature a bright yellow reinforced PVC waterproof inner lining. Also inside is a usefully-sized organizer pocket (two on the Parcel size) and ‘clip-on’ key loop.

After long use they’ll develop an ‘experienced’ patina that reflects your individual patterns of use and wear. The 2" military-spec nylon shoulder strap adjusts quickly and easily via a cam lock buckle for a secure, comfortable fit. For heavy-load all-day comfort, there is an oversize, removable, load-spreading shoulder pad with a grippy Ultrasude surface (it’s optional for the Letter size).

The flap closes with a wide strip of hook and loop as well as adjustable side-release buckles to accommodate oversized loads. There's also a useful carrying handle on the top center. Visibility is assured with a wide strip of 3M Scotchlite™ reflective running across the flap.

These bags are as simple to put on as a guitar, and easier to learn. Red, black, grey, hi-viz lime yellow, or blue (or limited edition pink in letter, dispatch, and courier sizes only).

Four sizes: Letter (9"×3.75"×9"/12"), Dispatch (12"×7"×12"/18"), Courier (12"×7"×18"/23"), Parcel (14"×9"×18"/26").

Compared to bungees and nets, straps are more secure because they can be cinched almost completely solid, which prevents loads shifting on washboard gravel or bumpy paved backroads. The 1" quick release Delrin buckle made will handle a minimum of 250 lbs. Similar looking straps sold in camping stores are too short to be useful for packing a bike and the buckles are not-quite-strong-enough. These are over eight feet long (100"), and the webbing has a 1300 lb break strength. (May be cut to shorter lengths and fuse the ends with a cigarette lighter). Sold in sets of 3.

The Regular version is constructed of a water resistant coated black Cordura® Nylon. Two full length web straps are attached at intervals across one side to provide secure tie-down attachment points. Also available in a Tall version, with 4" of added height for holding larger size suits or suits with added back and hip armor. Two full length web straps are attached at intervals across one side to provide secure tie-down attachment points. Black. Regular 24"×6"×11", Tall 24"x6"x15". Made in USA.

A fantastic semi-rigid sided tank bag and the result of decades of detailed refinements and improvements which help it work better and be easier to use on your trips across town or around the world. Fits most sport, sport touring, standard gas tanks perfectly and is a 'just-right' size, combining plenty of carrying space with room to easily move around when riding through corners, standing on the footrests, etc. Large map window provides a great view of your map for easy analog navigation and doubles as a water resistant cover over the large center zipper access. A removable adjustable bungee goes laterally across the map window and is a perfect way to briefly hold your gloves at a gas stop, or a ticket for a parking garage or toll road. On the left side a Ram-Mount ball is fastened to an internal aluminum brace going across the inside bottom of the bag providing stability for mounting a platform of your choice: cell phone, GPS or radar detector. (When you pull the tank bag off the bike, that valuable devide goes with you.) The YKK zipper operates easily with a gloved hand and the single storage compartment comfortably holds all quick-access items you'll need. Eight quick release buckles and straps provide two different mounting options. Includes a yellow seam sealed rain cover with a clear window over the tank bag map window. Measure 8"x16"x6". Black. Made in America.

Both feature a diagonal zipper across the front of the bag for easy access. The Suit version is 75"x24"x4" to accommodate a one-piece or two-piece suit. Specify light or regular.

Sheepskin cushions, cools and lets air circulate. When it’s sticky hot, you’ll sit cooler. And when it’s freezing, sheepskin is warm and comfy. Between extremes it’s always luxurious. Sheepskin has long been used by those who sit for extended periods because of how it cushions and vents.

These are luxurious top grade sheepskins, laminated with an Aerostich-exclusive, non-skid 3⁄16" PVC foam mesh base, so they won’t creep around on your saddle, even if you ride aggressively. They also won’t hold or absorb much water. Saddle sheepskin pads help you stay more comfortable, refreshed and alert on long rides. Each pad features eight strategic bungee attachment points, two lengths of adjustable bungee, and four no-scratch nylon hooks for a custom installation. Made in America.

Note: Not recommended for use on leather saddles.

The Standard Belt uses 1" beadless tubular nylon webbing and a Fastex™ buckle to create a light, strong belt that can also be used for a variety of strapping jobs. Adjustable, one size fits all. In black or brown. 40" long.

A classic silk scarf should be soft, thin and slippery — so you can wrap one around your neck, close up your jacket and rotate your head and neck all day in draft-free comfort, without chafing. These luxurious 100% natural silk scarves are handmade of a soft, dense weave that’s perfect for riding. No synthetic fiber is warmer, softer, stronger, or more durable.

Silk provides maximum comfort across every temperature range: warm and draft-blocking when cool, and refreshing when worn wetted during hotter conditions. When you’re traveling this durable silk washes perfectly in any sink, too — even with a simple bar of hand soap.

The Standard Scarf model is medium weight silk of sensuous softness, and measures 14"×72". The Competition Scarf model is similar to the standard model but two layers thick, and it is a bit narrower and shorter. It measures 10"×60". Both are premium quality, long lasting pure silk that will keep the wind, rain, dust and snow from blowing down your neck, and will pack away ultra-small inside any pocket.

No other neckwear works this well, or looks this cool.

"I’ve always had a fondness for white silk scarves. They’re good for all occasions."
