Slow Pokin' the Southeast
As the title suggests, I'm strongly considering dropping some coin on a 1 piece riding suit. In the past I've had a cheap pair of over pants and a slightly nicer tourmaster jacket. But to be honest I rarely wore the pants. So I mostly rode in jeans and jacket. Not ideal I know. So, getting back into riding after a few years away, I'm feeling a bit more trepidation about riding without real protection. I'm not a commuter, and I don't plan on running errands on the bike for practical reasons and because I really just want to avoid riding in town if I can help it. Most of my rides are thus going to be just pleasure rides on back roads and then overnight trips as I get more accustomed to covering some distance.
I live in central North Carolina and our summers get pretty muggy. So, I'm concerned the aerostitch is going to be like wearing a sweat suit like we used to drop weight before wrestling matches. Somewhere there has to be a sliding scale of risk management between gear and heat exhaustion.
Anyways, I'm rambling. What are your experiences with the aerostitch suits? Are their other brands I should be looking at?
Thanks!
