[QUOTE="Lawrence, post: 1451366, member: 17912"] I'm 2nd owner of my Aerostich Roadcrafter 2-piece (mfg in '96) in Blue w/ red ballistics. I've personally got close to 150K+ miles on this 'stich (first on '90 Concours ZG1000 and now the FJR). Blue has definitely faded, sent back for 'service' once (almost 10 yrs ago?? deep cleaning, zippers, replace reflective strip, etc). Pricey yet, but quality (and my experience with service was top notch (years ago) so good value from my perspective. Enough so that I've bought a (used) replacement Roadcrafter in Red/black ballistics to match current black '08 FJR. I paid just under $340 in '17 for this latest suit, a '95 Roadcrafter with back protector that had sat in storage for 10 yrs and looks practically brand new As for price - if you don't need custom sizing, and are [U]very[/U] patient, I've found that you can get a used Roadcrafter in excellent condition for a decent price. Just as some folks get a new 'cycle every couple of years, and then replace suit and helmet to color match new bike, you can get low-usage 'stich for around 1/2 price of new (which equals fantastic value, in my book, if you are the type to keep/maintain stuff for decades.)
