    I need to do one of these vids too. I bought my black on black Roadcrafter Classic in the late 1990's or thereabouts. I gave $860 for it including tax after I added the standard back protector. It has definitely proven to be the best money I've ever spent on gear. I've had two get-offs while wearing it. One was pretty minor, but the other one was the result of a high speed tank slapper, and it was serious. It totaled my VFR and landed me in the hospital. I was on crutches for a couple of months and BARELY dodged a surgery to repair several torn ligaments in my knee. But I had ZERO road rash, and the suit didn't even need repair! That happened the first year I owned the suit, and to this day I have to look real hard to even see the minor scratches on it. There has never been a time I didn't own several bikes and wore the suit often. I have even worn it on three different, several-thousand-mile each, cross-country dual sport adventures. These days I commute to and from my retirement job in it. The main zipper started getting a little finicky to start a few years back, but it keeps soldering on. If it ever does fail, I will send it in for repair and will probably get some new reflective parts sewn on, along with some new velcro on the collar closure, as these are starting to show their age a bit. Believe it or not, The suit itself is still waterproof and is barely even sun faded. And man, the helmets, gloves, boots, and even bikes it has outlived is difficult to imagine. Like I said, it was the best money I ever spent on motorcycle gear. Period.
