Iron Butt? Air Butt. Really. The individual interconnected cells adapt to your contours and distribute weight in a way regular seats and pads can’t. Creates reduced pressure points for greatly increased all-day riding comfort. The outer cover is a stretchable, breathable mesh cloth material, with a nonskid bottom base material. Designed to stay in place and not creep around during ‘active’ riding or on day-long rides, it simply lifts off when not needed. Also includes attachment loops for mounting and security. As far as seat cushions for long-distance endurance riding goes, this is state of the art, based on technology originally developed for the medical industry. Stay in the saddle longer with more comfort. The inner, air-adjustable, form-fitting cushion is manufactured from a durable polyurethane bladder. Designed for riders who need some help on occasional long rides, offers excellent comfort compared to other gel/foam/synthetic options.

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.

How many days would you like to ride? Based on a formula that includes selected ambient temperature ranges when riding with Aerostich gear, this colorful map portrays a fascinating representation of the annual number of rideable days easily achievable annually throughout the United States. 38"×26"

ABOUT THIS MAP...

Statistics for the average daily and seasonal temperatures in thousands of locations are available from the US Department of Agriculture to help farmers know what kinds of crops to plant and when to harvest.

The different sizes of the numbers on the map correspond to the populations of the cities listed. In other words, a large number like Los Angeles have a lot of people, and the average low and high temps used by this formula are seldom exceeded there, so this city has lots of ridable days. In contrast, cities like Phoenix AZ and Duluth MN each have different size numbers based on their differing populations, but similarly few ridable days because in those places so many days are by this formula on average either too hot or too cold.

The high and low temperatures used (95°F and 25°F / 35°C and -3.8°C) are based on the temperatures which are easy to dress for with Aerostich gear. It’s always been comparatively simple to ride through temperatures between 95°F and 25°F over urban distances.

These pressurized (nitrogen-filled) ball points were actually developed so astronauts could write in outer space, but they are equally wonderful for marking damp maps, writing on soggy paper placemats, or philosophizing on greasy bathroom walls. The AG-7 (anti-gravity) is the same model that went to the moon and features a side-button action. And back in the day the ol’ Russians had to use pencils.
