<><><><><> <><><><><> I used to use the stitch but changed to a jacket and pants. I use First Gear Stuff now and make my living in them in the late spring, summer and early fall. The stitch is a very good suit and was close to waterproof (watch out for the crotch area pooling and leak) and is what I'd really want on if I knew I was going to fall off. But I have fallen off with First Gear mesh Kilimanjaro Jacket and HT Mesh Overpants and they held up very well. The reason I changed from the stitch is it didn't work so good when I got to a destination and wanted to just wear a jacket for warmth or wind protection while walking around. I didn't want to carry a jacket for non riding situations. I think I would try a much less expensive option if I was doing it again. Anyone want a stitch that was built in summer of 1999, has about 15,000 miles on it and has been in a closet for the last 9 years? Bugs are still applied to it. It fits a guy that's 5' 9" and weighed about 170 lbs. It's silver with red ballistics and has never been down.

Jud is right I misspoke and mixed metaphores. thanks for the correction. Progressive springs OR try longer spacers over the OEM springs is what I meant to say. m.
