Where did you get it from?

I have one that I've been using for almost a year now in all weather and riding (commuting and fun). I was asked this very question recently, so I'm copying in my reply:

"Honestly, it's probably the best money I've spent on gear. There's alot of practicality to a suit that just zips up over your regular clothes. The waterproof'ness of the suit wears down over time, but I found this wonder spray at Walmart that fixes that. In the summer it can get warm, but I found it's still usable up to about 100F as long as you're moving. I wouldn't recommend it for rush hour commuting in Houston. Of course, in the winter it shines since it keeps me comfortable. It comes with a removable liner for the winter, but I've never used it even down to the upper 20's. Granted, my commute is short so if I had to ride in below freezing temps for an extended period I would put it in. Above freezing and the suit is fine for as long as you are.

I personally think it's a steal for what you get especially given the price difference to get the Aerostich. If money was no object I might get a Stich just to have a suit that custom tailored for me, but since that doesn't apply to me, the Fieldsheer works great."

I personally found out that 109F is past the limit of temps you can wear this suit.
