Aerostich or Rallye Jacket and Jeans?

[Thunder]

I'd go with the Stich personally, open the vents and wear light gear and a pair of shorts underneath, works brilliantly and if it starts to rain your sorted just by closing the vents rather than pulling rain gear on.

And bring a camelback or similar water pack on your back...worked a treat for me.

Of course I am also the guy who rode to Wadi Rum with handlebar muffs so I may not be a good guide!

Yep, T shirt and shorts underneth the stich. Then straight off when ever stopping for coffee while everyone else is sitting around uncomfortable in their sweaty trouuusers

Stitch is not too hot.

Just back form 4 days round Phoenix, Flagstaff and the Grand canyon.

40'c and dry as

Aerostich with all vents open, wear a camel back and drink plenty AND the secret weapon...


Aerostich "Evap-O-Danna" kinda black fleece neck thang. Soak it in water, place some ice cubes through middle and enjoy air conditioning.

I wore Rohan T shirt that was brill - wash each night and dries overnight (well at 28'c at night it would !) and gets soaked by evaporama.

In Morocco at 45'c I was too cold - as long as I kept moving.


Only down side is that when you take off the stich at coffee breaks your shorts look like you've pee'd yersen!

I am taking my tosser suit but have never had it in the rain so don't know how waterproof it is. Any tosser suited people out there who can comment?
But the most important thing I am bringing is a heated Jacket. never leave home without it.

Did 1500 miles through France 2 weeks ago mainly in pouring rain wearing my tosser suit.
With the lining in, stayed warm & dry inside. When the sun did occasionally come out, I just removed the waterproof liners and enjoyed the airflow through the vents.

I think I am going to play it safe and use both.

Aerostich on the way down with Jeans and Rallye 2 in the pannier. Then swap over when I get to Italy ...
