I volunteered for a few hours at the DC area Aerostich Pop-Up event last weekend. Had a great time chatting with some very experienced Aero owners, and some newbies.
Basically they have samples of all sizes of the suits, jackets and pants. Also gloves, boots, t-shirts, etc.
Nothing is for sale at the pop-up, since they need the full inventory to help customers find the best size. They do write up orders at the pop-up.
They already had a selection of "fit bikes" set up in the pop-up and did not need my NT.
The volunteers helped with crowd control. The four Aero employees were completely occupied helping customers with fit and selection. I think they spent about 1/2 hour each with customers on average. You may have to wait a bit to get with one of the employees -- appointments are recommended but not necessary -- but when you get with one you have their complete attention for as long as you have questions.
So if you go, be sure to check in with a volunteer to get your name on the list to be fitted. Even if you don't think you need to be fitted, you'll be surprised how much the Aero employees might point out to you.
The main problem with volunteering is that its very tempting to become a customer. Transit here I come.
Next Pop-up event is in Denver in early May, I think.
