Folds/packs compactly into a self-storing pocket so you’ll have it along when the weather changes and as you need added protection. Made of TLTex® WINDSTOPPER® fabric that stops, as you would imagine, all wind from drawing your body heat away. Elbows incorporate light padding and a zippered pocket on the left arm is perfect for a phone or iPod. A handy and practical clothing item alone or worn over fleece or electrics and beneath your outer gear. Looser cut facilitates easy on/off. Blue, Tan, Green or Black. M–XXL. Made in USA

For most riders this will be a Game Changer: Feathers are the better low-temp mid-layer beneath riding gear because they squish thin where needed and expand and fill irregular spaces and block drafts best. If you've never worn one of these modern puffys under your gear, you won’t believe the difference in comfort it makes. This functional simple ultralight one is perfect under any gear and plenty warm off-bike as well. Its cut is non-restricting so you will always move more freely. Two zippered side-entry pockets and two interior pockets make it car-around versatile, and its 380T high-density nylon shell is both wind-resistant and comfortable for all-day wear. Elastic windproof cuffs complete the spec. Responsible sourced (RDS) 100% down (90/10 goose/duck down), 550 fill power. Shell and lining both DWR water-resistant treated. Stows small in an included separate pouch. S-XXL (sizing runs slightly large). Machine wash cold, gentle cycle. Tumble dry with a tennis ball, low temp. Black.

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.

...is more fun on a bike. It’s a lot more fun, and so is wearing this t-shirt, since it makes both riders and non-riders pause and smile. If anyone asks why, you either smile enigmatically like a happy Buddha, or take them for a ride. This approach is a whole lot better than the stupid, arrogant, condescending shirts that read ‘if I have to explain it, you wouldn’t understand’. What self-absorbed baloney.. This is the real thing. 100% cotton M-XX.

That cool bike you've got sitting between your legs is officially recognized by the U.S. Federal Government as much more than an amusing toy. These are exact replicas of the signs above the HOV lanes across the freeways of California. They are a reminder that motorcycles are given extra privileges because riding them is social good. We all know that. Unfortunately most of your neighbors don’t. They’re positive motorcycles are self-indulgent toys -- Including yours. Let them know all fifty states have a totally different view, and have installed signs like these above our busiest and most congested roads to announce and declare: MOTORCYCLES OK. Officially. No equivocation. The government knows that choosing riding helps all of us, every time a rider gets on their motorcycle instead of getting into a car. (...thanks Brian) 100% Cotton. Green. M-XX

Workdays are usually filled with stress and deadlines, but getting to work (and commuting back home again) on two wheels can easily be the best part of your day. Go ahead, throw a leg over.

More than common and generic ‘outdoor’ fleece jackets, these are both tailored and engineered for riding. Each Aerostich fleece jacket is made right alongside the Roadcrafters and Dariens, and is designed to work perfectly within all of your riding gear. It’s a warm, draft-blocking, comfortable, lightweight layer of insulation perfect for three and four season rides. They wear wonderfully off-the-bike, too.

The details make a difference you can feel. We start with genuine Polarfleece (The original…there are many inferior copies) and YKK zippers. Each collar is tapered for more comfort with a helmet strap and the sleeve diameter is trimmed down for less bulk under riding gear. Sleeves are more forward rotated, too. And the long underarm ventilation zippers match Roadcrafter suits. Durable Lycra/nylon bindings at the hem and sleeves are comfortable and stop drafts without absorbing water.

The torso is also a bit shorter in front and longer in back for a better fit, and the sleeves are usefully a bit longer than you’ll find in typical fleece jackets. Zippered inside and outside chest pockets secure valuables like wallets, and zippered side pockets are placed slightly forward for easier access. A quick-draw inner chest pocket is ideal for sunglasses or a bandanna.

A high-warmth, low-bulk jacket that will become your favorite the first time you put it on. Machine wash. S–XXL. Made in USA

You just can’t find this sort of heavy-duty 9 oz. long sleeved 100% cotton shirt anymore, not even at those incredible hardware stores you see in rural small towns. We’ve sold this style shirt for more than 25 years, but when the original supplier recently started making them somewhere else and the quality got crappy, we found another manufacturer still making them right here in the U.S.A., with better durability and higher quality than the originals.

It’s perfect for riding because it combines superior comfort with cast iron durability. Like denim, it becomes better with multiple laundering and wear. You won’t see this shirt on someone else unless they’re driving an ElectroMotive diesel. White & blue. M–XXL.

Specially engineered HEATR® fabric integrated into these base layers provide maximum warmth with less bulk by expanding to generate additional heat when in contact with your skin. Anti-microbial technology assists in destroying and inhibiting the growth of bacteria while simultaneously cutting down odor. Soft, stretchable fabric with flat seams for all-day comfort. Long sleeve shirt features ¼ zipper at neck for added venting comfort. The pants are body-mapped with thinner spandex in the gusset and calf area for ventilation and flexibility. For temps from -20º to 50º F. 70% Polyester, 27% HEATR®, 3% Spandex. Black. Sizes XS-XL. Made in America

There’s no arguing...women and men agree a Bamboo-Cotton ¼ Zip Jersey is must have kit for on and off the bike. It’s a great layering piece, light and soft, with a practical cut great for wearing under a button-up shirt on a cold day. Darn comfy on it’s own too. The women’s version is cut, well...a little more girly and more form fitting than the men’s, which is more straight patterned.

The ladies version has thumb-holes at the end of the sleeves too, which prevents the sleeves from bunching when suiting up and keeps cold drafts at bay, which is a nice touch (sorry guys...deal with it). Both sport a semi-lock zipper that stays in place, and of course all the benefits of bamboo fabric apply: Moisture wicking, anti-odor, natural temperature regulation, UPF 50+ protection and 4 way stretch. 55% Organic Cotton/40% Viscose from Bamboo/5% Elastane. Women’s S-XL, Men’s M-XXL. Black.
