I don't know if I mentioned it but my knees were getting sore after a couple of hours when I wear the Aerostich Roadcrafter so I ordered a full set of their softer TF2 pads. They arrived this afternoon and I installed them, then wore the suit around the house for awhile and finally fell asleep in it watching TV. What a difference the new pads make, unbelievable.
Another thing I never cared for was the suit always seemed so damned stiff. Then I remembered reading something about throwing it in the clothes dryer on tumble dry for an hour so I did that today too. That seemed to soften it up quite a bit so the combination of the new pads and the dryer has really turned it into a comfortable riding suit. Or a very expensive pair of jammies...
That was the very last item on my list, the bikes packed up (again) and I'm ready to roll out first thing tomorrow morning.
Keep the faith...

I had a pair of "Draggin' Jeans" once and they were stiff as plywood. When I got done washing, bleaching, fabric softening, drying, the Kevlar lining all fell apart in tiny pieces! Nice.
