I love Aerotech

My wife forbade me to continue riding in my black tee shirt. I tried to explain that a 250+ specimen such as myself can't just go down to the local Trek store and pick up some day-glo kit in my size. She remained unimpressed by my protestations and gave me a week to figure out how to be more visible on my aluminum steed in traffic. After seeing a glowing review of Aerotech on here, I checked them out. What a great selection of Clyde sized clothing options. I picked up a "colossal" sized jersey (their words, not mine) in high vis yellow, a yellow wind breaker, and two pairs of padded gloves with shipping for around $100. It all came priority mail in just a couple of days. Great clothes, great fit, great price and great customer service. Now everybody is happy. I'll even post a picture if anybody is interested.

Here I am with my hi vis yellow 2xl tall jersey after my metric century ride 2 weeks ago. I was wearing a t-shirt underneath because I didn't have a good base layer and it was 44 degrees when we started out in the morning.
I actually sit on the back of my jersey and have to remember to pull it out from under me when I ride.

They make great stuff!

Glad you wife pushed you to do the right thing!

My SO bought me a couple Jerseys several years ago. They are still good, even though I well, just wash and too often dry them.
Getting a bit big though!

Yea I like Aerotech as well...but I have been diggin' the Performance Ultra bibs and I have been buying my Jerseys from Mt. Borah for the last couple of years. They recently started offering semi custom and I just got 2 that I ordered. They are sweet.
I generally use Aerotech for some of their cold weather stuff now.

I'm a big fan of theirs as well. Finally, bike clothing that's not sized for 10-year-olds!

I'm a big fan of under armor tshirts. Plenty of bright colors and sizes. Has the right wicking properties and I don't have to look like I a professional biker who is 50 lbs heavier than the others.
