Best one piece suit for commuting?

[Vsekvsek]

My work entails me having to where  the tie/slacks etc. I find the separate jacket and overpaint to slow and cumbersome. I wanted a single one piece suit as it "appears" to be quicker and more guaranteed way to keep me dry and warm. I was thinking along the lines of the link below but I know there's a ton of other brands out there that I don't know about. Was wonder if you guys knew something Similar out there that's just as good and even better.....a tad cheaper always helps.(I wanted decent quality not a simple rain suit as it can get very very cold where I live.) suggestions?

Look into the Aerostich, http://www.aerostich.com/suits/one-piece-suits

Another option is at www.motoport.com. They are not cheap, but they have outstanding customer service and repair policy.

The 'stich is the state of the art.

Well, I'm down in Portland, and ride to work year-round. I'm also obliged to wear a tie, dress shirt and slacks to work. (Oh, the glory! )
I wear a one-piece 'stitch, it works wonderfully. Easy-on, easy-off' (not ten seconds, but close). I love it.
It's well armored with the back and hip pads, warm enough so I don't need anything over my dress clothes, I've never gotten wet, and, (maybe best of all), I don't look like a power-ranger! Actually, a lot of people think I'm in law enforcement. It's also made in Duluth, MN, USA. 
They're making more variations now too. (I've got the standard one.)
The bad? They're freaking expensive! (Unless you compare them to BMW stuff.)
But, get what you pay for? Yeah. It's an investment.
The sizing is accurate, I'd only suggest to consider wether or not you have a long torso, and need an "L".
They're not fashionable, (to most), simple, well thought-out, very well made, and totally effective.
Yeah, I'm a disciple, I love mine.

Aerostich will have these temporary mobile sites, they where in Seattle last May even but I'm not sure if/when they return to a specific location.

Hmmm, shouldn't that be "Moscow dreaming"?

I've had my stitch since about 2000.  The bright red color has faded in some areas, but otherwise it's in great shape.   I was told red faded more than their other colors when I ordered. Very convenient for commuting with office clothes.  I usually put my tie on at work.

Aerostitch's customer service is excellent.  My first suit was order to my dimensions and I wasn't 100% happy.  I called and they had me sit on my bike and asked a few questions.  Per our discussion, they suggested some alterations and asked me to send the suit back for full credit.  I then bought another with the lean forward ellipse and forward rotated sleeves/shoulders.  These alterations seemed to fit the FJ riding very nicely.

When the weather gets above 85 deg F, the suit is a little warm, but I see they offer a light version that does not have a liner.  It cold weather (20 deg F) with a thin fleece and my Gerbing's heated jacket liner, I was fine.

if you get the stich, get the optional hip pads.  i'm still surprised they're not standard, since they are "points" just as much as shoulders, elbows, and knees (that have armor installed as part of the suit).

these (suits--not just the stich, but any expensive suit) are not like helmets---you're not paying for a better dye job in the suit.  you're paying for quality of the stitching, the suit material, the armor.  don't cheap out.  i've had two substantial get-offs wearing an aerostich, one a highside at apprx 35 mph (which i think typically tests the armor more than the abrasion resistance) and a lowside at apprx 45 mph (which i think typically tests the abrasion resistance more than the armor), and both times the i was fine, and the only injuries i sustained (ribs) had nothing to do with the suit.

I never thought of it before, but you're Aerostitch's crash test dummy

Ha, Carey.  I think that's exact the comment I sent to Dean after I heard about his last "test".

I stay with the separate overpants and jacket.  I walk two blocks to my office from the garage.  I leave the pants at the bike.  And I typically walk a couple blocks for meetings.  The power ranger suit wouldn't work for me.

Motorcyclegear.com has  a Rev It hi viz jacket on sale for $160. Ordered it last night.  Told my wife she got me the perfect valentine's gift.

Chris,

Rev It offers a nice back protector upgrade for their and other popular jackets.  Revzilla sells then with free shipping to encourage people to upgrade their riding equipment.
