Aerostich Press Release: Remote Control Zipper Sliders


New Release: Aerostich Remote Control Zipper Sliders

Over one hundred all-new items are in the new 2009 Aerostich and RiderWearHouse catalog, including a miniature 'Remote Control Zipper Sliders' option. The battery powered zippers are an upgrade (or retrofit...) for the vents on Aerostich Roadcrafter and Darien suits. A separate version will be available in November for the waterproof leather Aerostich Transit suit. The unique sliders are the result of micro-miniaturization breakthroughs by the YKK zipper company and Mabuchi-Nanotronik Ltd., a private German-Japanese nanotechnology research effort. Aerostich is the first clothing company to offer them. "We have an exclusive two year deal...they make adjustments so easy anyone can do it!", said an Aerostich company spokesperson. "Before, a rider needed to pull over to safely adjust their vents...and the back required a helpful friend or removing one's suit. Now it's simple as pressing a button!" Each slider is about 10% larger than the equivalent manual type. Inside is a re mote receiver, a powerful Mabuchi 'pancake' type 330541 stepper-motor, and 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 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, and the remote -- which will control up to four sliders independently -- is another $47.

New Release: Aerostich Transit Suit

In addition to the new RiderWearHouse catalog, the ground-breaking waterproof Transit Suit is now in stock and available. This truly practical leather suit uses GORE-TEX® Pro Shell, a material combining luxuriously supple top-grain cowhide with fully waterproof/breathable characteristics to seriously outperform traditional leathers. There are seven useful pockets and nine comfortable and removable armor pads providing comfortable and close-fitting impact energy protection. The Transit suit's impeccable waterproof qualities mean there's no need for a rain suit -- and on hot, dry days -- millions of breathable micro-vents, plus a permanent built-in solar-reflective pigment, helps the Transit wear 30° cooler than all conventional leather gear. The two piece Transit suit is ideal for all riding conditions. Send for the new catalog or see www.aerostich.com/catalog/US/Transit-p-1-c-602.html for mor e details.
