- i'M SORT OF IMPRESSED WITH MY NEW aERO (BLOODY KEYBOARD). It is not optimum
- for anything, but is second best at everything. This makes it the most
- useful, versatile bit of gear I've got (after the bike). In fact its the ONLY
- bit of gear I've ever bought specially designed for biking which has not been
- expensive utter crap.
-
- The REALLY funny
- bit is another area of Velcro. The front flap. It has two incjes of velcro,
- then 2 inches of gap, then two more inches of velcro etc. This makes an
- otherwise astonishingly warm suit useless in cold and/or rain. It is clearly
- made in a country without weather. GET AN AERO, theyre wonderful, but as
- soon as you get it, sew a proper solid length of velcro down the front. This
- makes it functional. This 'design feature' has me flummoxed - its so damned
- obvious, yet it must have been far more work for them to cock it up than to
- get it right!

- I thought the best bit of humour was to class all temperatures below 60F

- as COLD weather riding. That blows my whole year away. Printed it with a
- completely straight face too.
