probably going to end up with a first gear mesh suit before it's all said and done.

I like my first gear stuff, although I'm not real sure how it will be in the winter. I'll have to let you know, but you'll have already bought something by then.

My best friend has this suit and I've worn it quite a few times. The one-piece wasn't really a problem imo. Was nice to be able to wear dress clothes underneath to and from work or wherever. He's had it for 5ish years and it is still in great shape after tons of use. |

I love my Aerostich, and would highly recommend it, but it's a bit out of the price range you are considering.

Just something else to consider.

And right there is why I got a one piece Aerostich. I had a PVC suit on my first tour. By the time I got a little wet and stopped, the suit was a pain to put on. I didn't want to have to stop. When the rain starts now, I just smile and keep going. =)

So I wound up purchasing a 2 piece suit:
http://www.motorcyclecloseouts.com/o...enture+jacket# http://www.motorcyclecloseouts.com/o...pants+-+black# I actually wanted to get the silver pants to match the jacket but they have been discontinued and are next to impossible to find in a size that would fit me, so i settled on the black. The price was right, $240 shipped, so I will see in a week or so how it is. from the reviews I have read teh combo seems pretty sturdy, with the only drawback being that it can get warm over 75F despite being advertised as a 4 season set. But like I said in my original post I have plenty of summer gear already. Folks over at ADVrider generally had positive reviews of it http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=293880
