Men's R-3 Tactical One Piece
The R-3 Tactical keeps the 3M Scotchlite reflective panels at the back, ankles and front left chest pocket, but eliminates the added 1000d Cordura abrasion-resistant layers covering the elbow/shoulder/knee areas, for a more classic, monochromatic appearance. The single layer of fabric at these areas also allows for slightly increased ease of movement, but moderately decreases the overall abrasion resistance of the suit. You’ll find all the pockets, vents, armor and details of the standard R-3s. Colors: black, grey, or hi-viz lime yellow.

The R-3 (Roadcrafter 3) is the third-generation one piece Aerostich suit. It is 100% waterproof and unlined for maximum airflow, yet slips quickly and easily over your street clothes. Its full-length waterproof zipper entry system is fast, and it doesn’t flutter or flap in the wind. Without a lining it wears cooler, and with seam-sealed rainproof zippers you’ll also stay completely dry, even during the wettest conditions.
Each R-3 takes more than an hour longer to manufacture than previous Roadcrafters, but it’s worth it. You’ll enjoy higher levels of performance, comfort, and protection on every ride. And like its predecessor Roadcrafters, the R-3 is constructed of Aerostich’s exclusive mil-spec 500d TLTex® fabric. It’s a strong, long-lasting and highly abrasion-resistant material ideal for this use.
For increased protection there’s a double layer of this fabric across the seat, and added 1000d abrasion-resistant layers covering the vital elbow/shoulder/knee areas. Beneath each of these is a superior energy absorbing system utilizing removable, oversized TF impact armor. Each armor attachment point is adjustable to allow fit to be fine-tuned for comfort and ensure it stays in place for best protection. Separately available hip, spine and chest armor options further increase the R-3’s capabilities.
With its oversize two-slider underarm vents, a two-slider back vent and magnetic clasps to hold open the fold-down dual-height collar, you ride cool and protected at the same time. As temps drop and when precipitation comes you’ll remain cozy and dry, too, because the adjustable Ultrasuede collar fits comfortably around your neck, even with varying base-layers.
Additional features include flap covered hip-side water resistant zippers for fast access to your street pants, a hidden pass-thru port for an electric liner power cord, nine strategically placed everyday-useful pockets, a mini-carabiner helmet holder at the upper chest pocket, a highly water-resistant inner wallet/phone/iPod pocket, fit-adjustable ankle and wrist tabs, articulated knees, fit-adjustable waist tabs and an integrated stretch panel across the lower back. There’s also oversize 3M Scotchlite® reflective areas across the back, chest and ankles to enhance conspicuity in low light conditions.
Over 30 standard color combinations give each R-3 a personalized style, and add-on options include Integrated Boot Raincovers, electrically heated and non-heated Chest Insulation and Impact Pads, an Emergency Medical Info Pocket, and detachable arm and thigh Map and Accessory Pockets.
Three available body colors: black, grey, or hi-viz lime yellow. Machine washable. Men’s sizes 34 regular, 36–54 short, regular or long. Women’s sizes 2-20 short, regular or long. Choose TF3 or TF6 armor. Made in America and imported.

More Sizing Info:
Between Sizes:
Overall length* difference is 1 1⁄4".
- Example - 42 (S, R or L) suit is 1 1⁄4" longer (taller) overall than a size 40 (S, R or L) suit.
Short to Regular:
Overall length* difference is 3".
- Example - A 42S is 3" shorter than a 42R.
- Leg length difference is +1" above & +1⁄2" below the knee. The remaining 1 1⁄2" is in the Torso.
- Sleeve difference is 1 1⁄4", shoulder to wrist.
Regular to Tall:
Overall length* difference is 2".
- Example - A 42L is 2" longer (taller) than a 42R.
- Leg length difference is +1⁄2" above knee & +1⁄2" below the knee. The remaining 1" is in the Torso.
- Sleeve difference is 1".
* Overall length = collar to ankle
We can adjust the sleeve lengths, elbow armor position, leg length, knee armor position, and many other variables, but we cannot change the body/torso length. For semi-custom fitted garments, we start with the body/torso size that is the closest and change the arms and legs as needed.
A great fit is critical to the long-term enjoyment and satisfaction of any garment. This is something we do better than anyone else with graded off the rack sizes. There are about 32 standard R-3 sizes vs. about 8 with typical S, M, L, XL grading. If the crotch in an R-3 is slightly binding, the garment will never have a chance to become your 'go to' riding gear, and I'd like it to have that chance.
One piece coveralls are the best gear for day-to-day short-hop utility riding because they work as a complete protection system all in one garment. But like mechanic's and trade-worker's coveralls, for comfort the crotch needs to be low enough to never bind.
