Visiting Aerostich in Duluth

Outside of Aerostich

This weekend we made the trip up to Duluth to enjoy Lake Superior. On the way, we stopped at Aerostich to get my Roadcrafter Light repaired. It has developed a couple minor issues with the zipper and a small seam coming apart. Thanks to the generous two year warranty, I was able to get them fixed without issue, but more on that later.

The inside of the showroom has been expanded since my visit last year. Lots more stuff to get distracted with. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They fixed the zipper and seam issues right there on the spot, but the person to fix my final issue had already gone home for the weekend, so they’ll fix it on Monday. It was a nice experience.

On the way out, there was an interesting trailer behind this BMW from North Dakota. Our stomachs were screaming for food, so we didn’t stick around to chat.

I should get my suit back fully repaired in a couple days. I suppose now that I’ve had my Roadcrafter a year, I should think about writing a review. The short version is, I don’t wear my other gear anymore. I like the Roadcrafter Light that much.

  1. Warranty issues? Does this mean I need to start planning a trip to Minnesota within the next two years?

    1. A couple minor items that were issues in the first run of suits. I don't think you'll have the same issues I did. You're welcome to come to MN anytime to enjoy our remodeled guest room. :)

  2. Their expanded show room looks nice. That's much bigger than it used to be! It's always fun to stop there and check things out.

  4. The guy in the plaid shirt in your 3rd picture sort of looks like Andy. Glad your trip to Duluth and Aerostich was as rewarding as mine always are. I haven't seen the new showroom yet, but I will during VBR3.

  5. Am I crazy, or are those bicycle quick-release axles I spot, on a motorcycle trailer?
