Aerostich One piece.

The Stich is Made in the USA , the olympian is made in China.

I'm sure I've read that some of the 'Stich stuff is being made off shore now, not that it matters.

From a report on TV, did you know that it costs Nike about $2.50 to make a pair, yet they have the balls (more like gall) to charge well over $100 for them.

And just on the radio a month or so ago, employees were making about $50 a week (or a month...can't remember which not that it makes a difference). Someone is getting rich and it certainly isn't the worker.

New AD1 'pants' are made in Vietnam. AFAIK, everything else is still made in USA, along with the Apple Pie.

what do you think is better ?

I can't say since I haven't lived with 5 or 10 different suits over the years (I've been wearing an Aerostich Roadcrafter II since May 1992). And if I want to stay dry during hours of riding in the rain, I have to wear a rainsuit over it. You have to remember one thing about product comments on the web; whatever one buys is usually the best and admission that it isn't is hard for some to admit.

But I would like a top quality jacket and pants that offer good ventilation, good protection, comfort over a wide temperature range (I'm willing to take liners out) and one that I can ride in the rain with for hours.

Maybe a Dainese, Rukka, etc. And just because its an expensive upper end outfit, I'm not implying that it is the best, but usually, you get what you pay for. Maybe the BMW Rallye Pro 2, but I'd have to work out in the gym to handle its weight.

You guys in the UK should know whats best and probably have the best products.
