Wearing an Overall - Django - 04-13-2016
Somebody from our US friends posted a picture recently of a motorcylist's overall, to be weared over casual wear. It was partly red colored.
Can't find it anymore. Could some kind soul help me out and tell me the brand of that thing?

It's likely an Aerostitch Roadcrafter. A pricey but high quality one piece.

Could you native English speaker explain to me, what `Ballistics' mean at this suit:

Is that to choose the color of those extra protective patches? (I'm guessing.)

your guess is correct. they mean where the extra abrasion protection is located.

I bought mine about 2 years ago. Here in TX, I went with the light weight version so I can still wear it in the hot summers. Well, the hot summers won. So this is a fall/winter/spring jumpsuit for me. I wear a 38 short in a men's suit. I bought a 38 short jumpsuit from them off their inventory, no custom measurement and custom stitching done. As delivered, my suit, fitted w/ their pads, fits me perfectly, from shoulder to ankle. Those guys at Aerostich knows how to size their jumpsuit for a man!
I went w/ the hi-vis and grey...

Interesting! Thank you very much!
Anybody else? I'd really appreciate your reports.
I'm thinking about, to buy one.

Django,
I bought my Aerostich Roadcrafter one-piece suit in 1991.
Used it daily on my ride to/from work.
Aerostich is very good with repairs, my suit has been sent to Aerostich twice for minor repairs due to wear and tear, never a crash.
Yes it is expensive, but very durable and will last for decades.
Look in any of the American motorcycle magazines and you will see Areostich suits.

Django - I have never met anyone who owned a Aerostitch suit who didn't love it. The only beef I've heard is that they can be a bit warm in summer.
