The left arm vent zipper on my Joe Rocket suit just gave out while riding around town during my lunch break today.
This is the 5th zipper that is broken and/or ripped... guess it's time to replace it. I'm going to freeze my ass off if I ride around with that vent stuck open, and I was planning 2 weekends away on the bike this month. I know Randy broke the same zipper on his but I don't have Viking Blood or whatever it was he used as an excuse when I asked him why his vents were open when we were going through the mountains and it was 45F and raining.
So far it sounds like it's Aerostich or Motoport... I want something that is built well this time.
Any opinions? I know Stoinkythepig said you liked your 'Stich, but Randy stopped wearing his?
I want something warm for cold weather riding (got mesh for the hot weather), and if it's waterproof enough to skip raingear in all but the worst weather that is a big plus.
I will probably duct tape over the vent if I travel until I can get something else. I don't think I want to pay to repair the JR suit cause it's just made too cheaply, and I did crash in it, though at low speed.
This sucks cause it appears the good suits are not cheap.
