The Adventure Rider

Exclusive features include a tough abrasion-resistant Mil-spec 500 Denier Cordura® TLTex® breathable/waterproof outer fabric, removable hard shell TF3 or TF6 elbow and shoulder armor, generous 3M Scotchlite™ reflective areas, adjustable anti-flutter sleeve tabs, and removable magnetic collar clasps.

The Darien also accommodates optional TLTec fleece liners that fit perfectly inside this outer jacket. The liner's underarm vent zippers line up, and everything works together perfectly.

Those optional reversible TLTec liners are perfect on cool mornings and for all 'off-the-bike' wear, too. They fold into their own compact zippered pockets, and can be attached to your bike or worn on a belt like a fanny pack. With new construction, an optional zip-in liner zipper (#375) is available at no charge.

Available colors: black, grey, or hi-viz lime yellow. All Darien jackets come with black details. 36–56. Choose TF3 or TF6 armor. Made in America

The Competition is a slightly stiffer back protector with an impact protection system similar to the Standard armor, but covering a larger area. It's ideal for track days, high speed backroad twisties and other fun hooligan-type riding applications. (You know who you are…) TF3, polyester, and Cordura.

These full length back protectors provide higher levels of protection for kidneys, spine and coccyx areas. The TF3 versions are fully fitted for all Aerostich suits and jackets using integrated hook & loop mounts, or can be worn in another garment with the detachable, optional belt (available free upon request with purchase). An optional adapter sleeve (#1109) is available for the TF5 back protector to allow it to be worn via hook & loop attachments or with the optional belt. All back impact armor options are made to withstand multiple hard impacts while being very lightweight and comfortable. Specify suit size. S, M, L.

For maximum protection. Two oversized TF3 hip impact protectors in shaped pockets that attach with hook & loop to the lining of any Aerostich pant or suit. Includes adhesive hook & loop for fitting into any garment. Available with or without pre-curved shape with a hard shell.

Back and Hip Impact Armor Owners Guide

From its revolutionary introduction in 2008 and through its discontinuance in 2013 which was caused by materials (supply-chain) complications, this was the best leather gear available.

The NEW Transit 3 has all of the exact same features and details of the original. It's still just as durable. And as tough. And as waterproof. (The Transit 3's leather is a bit softer and even more comfortable, though.)

This two-piece waterproof/breathable leather suit is a long-term investment in all-weather protection and comfort you will appreciate on every ride. Jacket and Pants are available together or separately.

Waterproof and breathable leather gear that outperforms traditional leathers. It’s made from a new CORIUM+ material combining specially treated high quality leather with an integrated waterproof laminate to provide exceptional levels of protection and comfort in all types of weather.

The unique built-in technology is a breakthrough in toughness and durability, too. In wet, fog or misty conditions it won’t soak up moisture so it never gets heavy, and always dries immediately after riding through severe rain. And the leather itself is ultra-supple, luxurious and flexible.

Inside is a set of six carefully fitted yet easily removable TF armor systems — elbow, shoulder, knee, hip and back pads — to provide superior energy absorption with less movement restriction. So no matter what your local riding conditions and plans, or what the immediate climatic situation, you’ll be a lot more protected and comfortable.

Technically, the Transit’s micro-perforated breathable CORIUM+ leather contains a new, unique, proprietary treatment that helps keep it from absorbing water. The millions of micro-vents across the surface of the leather insure that during high activity the moisture on your skin will evaporate right through, even though the suit is worn fully zipped and closed. Only the finest cow hides are selected for this complicated processing and tanning technology.

Design updates of the new ‘3’ version include waterproof underarm vent zippers, a slightly larger pocket on the right forearm (perfect for toll-road money, house keys, etc.), a fold-away reflective cover over the dual-slider zipped back vent, and a near-full circumference (270°) pant-to-jacket zipper. The main pant and jacket zippers are the newest waterproof type, which further increases the Transit’s durability and functionality. Completely waterproof, and we think bad-ass looking, too. Jacket available in Black or Hi-Viz, sizes 38–52. Pants available in Black only, sizes 30–44 waist. Imported.

Note - The early-production Transit 3 jackets have ‘European’ main zippers. Only the main zipper is this way. This means that the zipper slider on these jackets is located on the left side of the zipper. All Transit 3 jackets manufactured later have ‘American’ style right-handed zippers.

The AD-1 is a fully seam taped, unlined, HT500 Denier Nylon three layer TLTex® jeans-cut pant, with full length separating side zips. The outside zippers have full length inner and outer weather flaps to help the pants go on and off fast and keep rain and wind out.

Other details include: A diamond gusset in the crotch for greater sitting comfort; An inner gusset behind the front fly which improves water resistance; The knees have a greater bend around a larger radius (than the Darien pant knees), allowing more freedom of movement. The Scotchlight® reflective ankle tab loop strips are radial, for a natural and secure adjustment around the calf and lower leg. The front pockets have hook and loop secured cover flaps so items inside are secure. (And you won't lose your change or bike keys when the pants are laid over the back of a chair…). A vertical zippered cargo pocket is on top of the right thigh and a horizontal opening pocket to the top of the left thigh. Available in even waist sizes, 30–46 regular and long. An Aerostich Money Belt (#1854) is included with these pants. Black or Grey. Choose TF3 or TF6 knee armor. Imported and Made in America

These are the same as our original Elkskin Roper gloves, but updated with an adjustable hook & loop wrist strap.

Full and half sizes 7-13 (size 11.5 and 12.5 not available). Made in America.

This is the smallest, lightest compressor we carry and one of the most efficient you’ll find for its size. This stripped-down mini fits in the palm of your hand and will inflate any motorcycle tire in a couple minutes. When a larger compressor is too much bulk to carry along, and CO2 cartridges aren’t nearly enough for your trip, this dedicated pump will deliver continuous pressure without fail. What it lacks in beauty, it makes up for in performance – which is what you really need when you’re flat stranded in the middle of nowhere.

Has a nice long 26" inflator hose, 6' power cord, and packs small in included storage sack. Comes with three adaptors: SAE, cigarette lighter and alligator clips. Lock-down delivery valve fits all bikes. Also comes with carabiner clip, so you can attach the compressor to whatever you want out of the way and off the ground, instead of having it lay in the mud or dirt. Simple, compact, and dependable peace of mind. Pump is 3.5"×3.5"×.9". Packs to 7"×5"×3", 1.3 lb.

Draws 5-6.5amps at 12v. Max pressure - Zero to 90psi (bicycle tire) in about 90 seconds.

If you venture into terrain and trails off the road, you know the importance of carrying a towstrap to get back to civilization in the event of mechanical difficulties. What sets this apart is that it doubles as two 1400 lb. rated tie downs which can come in handy in case that guy (or gal) in the pickup you flag down is amenable to hauling your busted bike somewhere. Rolled up tight in their nylon bag, they measure just 8"×1.25", small enough to stow anyplace. Includes two 6'×1" adjustable cam nylon web straps with looped ends and 8" strap loop on cam buckle.

A self-priming fuel transfer system. No matter where you are, this ultra compact system won’t leave you stranded for long. Throw away that length of gnarly old hose and safely siphon fuel from any gas-powered device without getting a mouthful of gas.

This is one siphon that doesn’t suck. Simply insert the self-priming end into any non-empty gas tank, and put the other end into the transferring container/carrying case (that works a heck of a lot better than a crinkled Mountain Dew can). A few up and down motions and you’ll be siphonin’ away. The handy stopper clip maintains siphoning even when in the “off” position, so there’s no need to begin the process all over again between container transfers to your tank. The included super soak towel quickly cleans up any excess spills and everything fits neatly back into the transfer container/carrying case. Carrying case is 10.1"×2.6"×1.25" and holds 1/8 gallon of gas. Siphon is 68" long. Entire system weighs less than 4 oz.

The 62" black nylon utility cord loops over the left grip to eliminate bending to retrieve. When you’re ready to go, just reel it in while comfortably saddled. Includes a “Remove Before Flight” ribbon so you’ll never accidentally leave it behind. Same black ultrasuede storage bag as the CFSP. Made in USA

Not waterproof, but an included raincover stores inside a dedicated compartment.

All of this technology is beautifully sewn with top quality coated nylon fabrics, webbing and other materials. (By a clever optical illusion, this bag won’t look big when mounted on your bike.)
