Aerostitch Questions....

. . . One piece is the only way to go for a commuting suit. Traveling....well there are good points about a two piece. I run two piece suits also.

Putting them on with boots is the only way I have ever done it!

90 degrees is too hot on a faired bike to use them. If you have to unzip them to stay cool, they are not protecting.

Zippers are two way. No problem unzipping to use the restroom. Of course, once you get used to putting them on, they come off and on so quick you might jump out of it anyway. . .

Two piece suits allow you to remove the jacket. When at fuel stops, or going into a store to pick up some stuff, or into a restaurant that is nice. Pants don't look quite as alien to other people when you go inside! In warm temps I wear shorts and weird socks with my boots so keeping pants on is less frightening to children! Two piece suits can at times be more comfortable, but not always.

I like having both types, there are times when one is simply the better choice. If I were commuting again a one piece would be my only suit for that.

There are those that swear a non mesh suit is comfortable at 100 degrees. Swear that mesh is the wrong choice. Let them get stopped in traffic, or get into slow traffic for while in 90 degree weather and then explain that theory to me. There is NO one suit does it all. I have different gear for different situations. . . .

I would add that regardless of what I'm wearing, I would rather be hot and sweaty (keeping hydrated, of course) than potentially lose my skin.
