Survived the Storm...

Just a quick thank you. My wife and I have been wearing the Roadcrafter two piece suits for years. As members of HSTA since 1982 we have enjoyed riding all over the country and never without the protection of Aerostitch. On August 28th we left our home because Katrina was fast approaching. As a New Orleans Police Captain leaving the city was out of the question and why should we, the storm would pass and we would be returning the next morning. Well it took eighteen days before the water got low enough for us to enter the house. It took another seven days before we could get anything of value out. Every piece of clothing we owned was destroyed. Cloth had rotted, salt water had eaten through nearly everything including leather. It took another day before we got to the Roadcrafters. There they were, rust stained, filty, and covered with mud. I removed the attached bibs, took out my wife back brace, and removed all the padding. The next step was to get them into a commercial washer and pray. I'll send you pictures when I can. The suits may not look as good as they did, and they still don't smell great but they survived the storm. I'll be ordering new padding for both suits and a new back brace for the wife's suit that was the only part that did not survive. Add a little scotchguard for the cloth and silicone for the zippers and we should be back in business. The storm took all of our bikes so it will be a while before we hit the road again but when we do we will still be wearing Roadcrafter II's Thanks for an extraordinary product.
