Electrify any jacket's performance with a Kanetsu liner. Closely patterned after the standard Aerostich Darien liner, this electrically heated version provides an under-jacket environment that's always a lot warmer than the outdoor ambient. Enjoy a cozy micro-climate which can be up to 30º warmer than outdoor ambient.

Three heating circuits provide warmth through the sleeves, body and collar. The sleeves use a slightly 'hotter' heating wire due to the liner's slightly looser fit.

This liner is reversible for all wearing situations and features a built-in self storing pocket, a convenient cord storage pocket, and a lighted on/off switch on a coil-cord. The WINDSTOPPER® fabric shell blocks drafts 100% and packs down nicely for storage.

Includes: fused, lighted coil cord hookup and power switch. 75 watts/5 amps*. Specify QuiConnect 2, SAE or BMW connectors. Black. 36–54 regular.

*ELECTRIC LINER COMPATIBILITY: 2006 and newer BMW CAN-bus outlets are limited to 5.0 amps. Kanetsu Electric Liner (#267) and the Kanetsu AirVantage Electric Liner (#291) draw 5.5–5.7 amps, so the CAN-bus shuts down the circuit. The Kanetsu Electric Vests and Kanetsu Airvantage Electric Vests are ok because they draw less amps (no heated sleeves). All Kanetsu Liners can be used with the 2006 BMW's if a fused outlet is attached directly to the battery (BMW Accessory Socket #108 and In Line Blade Fuse Holder #4664 with a 10 amp fuse) or if a 1.25 ohm resistor is inserted in the BMW accessory outlet circuit.

An upgrade (or retrofit…) for the underarm and back vent zippers on all Aerostich Roadcrafter and Darien rider’s suits. The battery powered Remote Control sliders are the result of micro-miniaturization breakthroughs by the YKK zipper company and Mabuchi-Nanetronik Ltd., a private German-Japanese nanotechnology research effort. Aerostich is the first clothing company to offer them. They are perfect for these vents, because they make adjustments safe and easy. Remote Control Sliders eliminate the need to pull over to safely adjust the vents…and don’t require a helpful friend or removing one’s suit for the back vent adjustments. Now it’s simple as pressing a button! Each slider is about 10% larger than the equivalent manual type. Inside is a remote receiver, Mabuchi ‘pancake’ type 330541 stepper-motor, a tiny titanium planetary gear set and toothed cog -- which engages the zipper’s teeth to pull the slider rapidly in either direction. The sliders are controlled by a three button remote. Each powered slider uses a common (and included) replaceable Zink hearing aid battery good for about two hundred 12” zips. The remote includes both wrist and handlebar mounts. The price per slider, installed, is $177 (#RIDI). The remote -- which will control up to four sliders independently -- is $47 (#PARC). Specify Roadcrafter/Darien or Transit style.

The classic motorcyclists’ riding belt. Used for years by off-road racers and recreational dual sport riders, the Gold Belt’s support is valuable for on-road rides as well.

Weird if you think about it, but nirvana for your feet. Advanced nanotechnology permanently melds the ancient beneficial properties of bamboo charcoal into the natural fibers of this sock. The result is a supple and incredibly comfortable 200 thread count knit that continues to get fluffier and softer with each washing.

Every fiber is infused with charcoal to provide true odor eating and anti-microbial properties within a unique three-dimensional weave pattern that delivers exceptional moisture wicking ability. And (…“but wait, there’s more!”) as the socks are worn and heated by the body, good negative ions are also released, promoting increased foot health and improved circulation. Made from renewable organic materials, these luxurious socks are not only good for your feet and your health, but are good for the planet too. One wearing will make you a believer. S/M (6.5-9), M/L (9.5-13).

Ride to get from point A to point B. Instead of taking your car. Get it? 100% cotton. Blue. M-XX.

In person John was simply and quietly outstanding and force-of-nature unstoppable. He was gentle, funny, strong, humble, kind, generous, self-aware, mischievous and absolutely indomitable. He was also — and by far — the very strongest, best and most accomplished long-distance endurance motorcycle rider in the world. He challenged himself to accomplish the impossible and did, again and again. His untimely death in a motorcycle accident on a clear, sunny Sunday morning (October 13th, 2013) was devastating to his family, his friends and the endurance riding community. This booklet contains some of Jonh's own writing about riding exploits, and a few of his many friends rememberances. It was created to help you get to know him a little. We sure miss him. By John Ryan and a few of his friends. Softbound. 6”x9”, color illus. 76pp.

This will save your ass on long, hard rides. It’s purpose-built for your butt, but also works great in underwear and everywhere that is sensitive to chafing, burning, reddening rashes. More than a re-packed drugstore talc or a baby powder, this proprietary formula eliminates getting painfully chafed, raw and rashy during sweaty butt-busting activities. It also provides an immediate ‘aaaahhh-oooohhh’ skin relief on (or after) tough rides. Good for motorcyclists, truck drivers, off road and road drivers, bicyclists, etc., whenever your butt takes a pounding all day. 8 oz. Bottle.
