New Aero jacket in the house, now with photos

[Bern1]

Not really "new", but new to me! I really love this jacket. I am struck by how well it fits, the arms in particular are slim fitting but comfortable. I definitely won't be doing any heavy layering, but won't really need to. The jacket does not have the inner cuffs, which I am kind of happy about.

How does Aero FQHH hold up in the rain?

These pics are from the auction listing:

This pic is me wearing yesterday, finally had a break from the 100 degree heat here!

Thanks for all the kind comments in the original thread, cheers all!

Looks bad ass, congratulations!

It laughs in its face and then sticks up its middle finger.
Honestly, FQHH is fine as many people here will attest to. Just make sure that you dry out any jacket hide naturally in a dry room, without the use of artificial dryers / heaters etc.

Awesome jacket, fits you well, looking good, goes so well with your old boxer-twin. WIN situation all around! Oh, and my brown CXL FQHH cafe racer shrugs off rain with no issue.

Looks great. Congrats!!

Great Jacket and bike. When it is hot I remove visor but put on industrial safety wraparound glasses.

Looks like a perfect fit, congratulations! FQHH is fine with rain, you may want to condition it like once a year though if you ride in the rain frequently.

Thanks again for all the kind comments, now of course it's my favorite jacket. Ok on the rain. Surely there will be another Aero in my future.Teamster in Midnight Blue calling.....patience patience!

Is sizing pretty consistent across the Aero line? Ie will a Teamster tend to fit like the Bootlegger?

Cheers,

Sizing is different from style to style. The Teamster runs rather large. I have a 40" chest and wear a size 38 which has 23" pit to pit..

Looks great! Nice BMW there as well...

Sizing can vary pretty widely across the Aero line but I think the Bootlegger and the Teamster are fairly similar in size. I wear a size 44 In both of these jackets (the Teamster is midnight blue) and they both fit well. The Teamster is a more boxy generous cut without the taper of the Bootlegger.

I actually think ththe BL is sized a bit more generously (than say the j106). I have a 44" in the j106 and it's a trim fit. My 40" BL was about the same numbers and fit wise.
