While I love my new Transit suit I have just discovered a major drawback! I have owned both Darian and Roadcrafter suits. I really value that Aerostich has been able to repair and refurbish these suits for me. However I have just been told that this is not possible to do with the Transit suit as the skills/technology are not available in-house. This means damage or wear that could be repaired on my Roadcrafter could mean that I have to junk my much more expensive Transit suit. I really hope that Aerostich reconsiders this and even comments on my feedback.

FINALLY! Rain gear that does what it says and is Highly Protective. I really didn't want to spend the money on this suit, but after trying a million different things I said what the heck...this suit is just bloddy amazing. Rode it in 1 1/2hr downpour and no leaks, no fussiness, nothing. AND it's definitely worthy of leather crash protectiveness, if you're on the fence I would definitely recommend you go for it- very impressed. Seems to run true to size for both pants and jacket.

I want one,really want one but for the money I wish Aero could do the same alterations as for
the other aero suits. After all, I've got a bike that isn't worth much more than the suit....I know that's "apples and oranges," but Geez Louise that fact sure promotes sticker shock! If I'm ever anywhere near Duluth (?)
i'll certainly roll by and see if I can do one w/o alteration.

I just got the transit suit. I am very happy with it. I was worried about the fit but the fit worked well. I was in between two sizes bas on the info on the web, and went to the larger end. Worked great. The only trouble I had was it is hella difficult to zip the pants into the jacket when you are wearing it. I almost returned the suit based on this (you need to zip the two together for safety). Then from the BMW sport touring forum, I found the trick, which I decided to share here. The trick is to to start zipping the two together with your right hand. The zipper will pull about an inch or so around, and then jam. At this point, reach your left hand around behind your back, and grab the zipper in between your thumb and forefinger. NOTE: don't touch the zipper handle! That causes it to jam! Just grab the actual zipper. Now you can pull it around your back no worries. Reverse process to undo. Other than this, I can only second the other reviews.

I just got my Transit Suit a month or so back. I have only had one chance to test it out, after all it is still winter, even in British Columbia. I rode for 45 minutes in nothing short of a monsoon with high winds. I had my electric jacket on underneath with electric gloves (it was only 4 degress Celsius) and the suit performed flawlessly. When I got home I was totally dry, even at the neck where my Roadcrafter, and all others, leak first.
So far so good, it seems that its claims are legitimate. I will be getting more hours on the suit once spring draws closer, I am planning a trip from Vancouver, BC., to Chicago and the westward on Route 66, then south to San Ysidro, Calif., for the 3 Flags Rally back to Canada.

I've been wearing the Transit suit on my KTM Adventure 990 for 6 months now. I got the pants one size bigger to wear over street clothes. It's just as easy to put on as my former Darien suit. I loved my Darien suit and lived in it on my ride to Alaska and back from California but after owning the Transit suit the Darien feels like a rain jacket. The Transit feels solid. I've worn it on super hot days and it felt fine and on super cold and rainy days and it was water tight. This is the last suit for me. Very happy.

This suit is heavy but it is extremely well made the best materials. Sleeves are long and the legs. But I am short and stout. lol Feel very very safe with it on!

I read somewhere that the material is fabricated in Vietnam, sent to the US and here it is cut and made into the final product.

The Transit has been out for some time now and I wonder if Aerostich, taking into consideration customer feedback especially regarding venting and pockets, is working on a Transit 2 suit?

A buddy I ride with has had Rev'it! gear, a 'stich, and now the Transit and he likes the Transit by far the best. No fiddling around. Put it on and go.

So,

I was prepared to be sceptical about this one. I've had a lot of gear in the few years I've been riding, and didn't listen to my more experienced friends telling me to buy Aerostich.

My italian one-piece rain suit's zip failed, my other european suit is too hot and fussy to put on - and my awesome Alpinestars leathers are too cold in winter, and don't work in Seattle's rain.

This gear is awesome. I was dry as a bone commuting to work, had no embarassing "wet patches", and my gear was dry to ride home again in the evening.

It's almost as comfortable (after only two weeks) as my worn-in race leathers too!

The only downsides?
1. The zip fastening jacket to pants is short (read "hard to reach") and has fussy double zippers. You have to be patient and flexible to fasten it.

2. The jacket cuffs totally get in the way of those comfy rain gloves with gauntlets that you like :)

Those are my only (minor) complaints. Otherwise the quality is excellent, customer service is stunning, comfort and fit are great - and the suit looks good too!
