A narrowed TF3 knee impact armor that's more comfortable than the standard riding--suit sized TF knee armor inside the knee armor pockets of Aerostich Protekt Khaki's and Jeans. Same height as standard TF knee armor (10") but 1.5" narrower (6" vs 7.5"), so it fits and feels better in these pants. Also will fit the knee armor pockets in Classic Roadcrafters, R-3's, Darien and AD-1 pants. A fitted black Supernyl bag encloses each knee armor pad.

Armor is sold individually. Please order two (2) if you need a set.

You know who you are. You’re among friends here...but across the world of ordinary people, regular workplaces, common hardware stores, consumerized shopping malls, offices, workshops and chain grocery stores…the Road Grimed Astronaut goes a long way. Because most people have no idea.

Let us explain. Do people in grocery stores and gas stations see your onesie coverall or teched-out armored adventure suit as peculiar? Have you ever ridden past a bedraggled looking group of bevested and bechapped riders standing around under a freeway overpass smoking cigarettes and waiting for the rain to stop…and did you smile inside your helmet as you went by? Do bearded hipsters regard the uncoolness of your wonderful habiliment from saddles of their fenderless aircleanerless purified bikes or (more likely) thru their car windows as you ride by them in traffic on a cold dark day?

If some of this is slightly familiar, you are a Road Grimed Astronaut. You have the right stuff. So you might want this.

These high quality, made in the USA, old fashioned 100% cotton, oversized bandanas are the real deal and can trace their lineage to old west cowboys, farmers and railroad engineers who relied upon them to wipe the sweat from their brow and keep the dust out of their face and collars. Keeping one (or more) handy in a pocket or tank bag will soon provide endless use opportunities. Wear one under your helmet to help absorb sweat and keep it cleaner, tie around the face or neck for sun/dust/wind protection, wear wetted for evaporative cooling effect, blow your nose into one, clean your hands off after a roadside repair or use as a placemat or napkin at a roadside picnic. But not all at the same time. Assorted colors with traditional paisley print design. 21.5"×21.5". Made in America

Highly recommended for leather gloves. Opaque liquid emulsion which goes on wet and soaks into pores in leather, helped greatly by rubbing into leather. Not recommended for fabric. Dries leaving a slightly tacky, waxy surface feel which may mostly be buffed away. Tacky-feel also wears away during use. Two applications (apply, dry, re-apply, dry, wear) are recommended to the back-side of glove, with either one fairly light application on palm to limit tacky-waxy effect on grip, or no palm application. Noticeably longer-lasting water-beading than Nikwax Glove Proof. 100ml.
