Aerospec armor is a craftable Pre-Hardmode armor set crafted from Aerialite Bars, Sunplate Blocks, and Feathers. If the full set is visible (whether equipped or in social slots), the player will emit afterimages.
It consists of the Aerospec Breastplate and Aerospec Leggings, as well as one headpiece for each class: the Aerospec Helm, Aerospec Hood, Aerospec Hat, Aerospec Helmet, and Aerospec Headgear. All headpieces share a general set bonus, and also provide set bonuses specific to their class.
The full set grants the following effects while equipped (this includes the set bonus):
- Faster falling speed
- Immunity to fall damage
- Taking over 25 damage in a single hit will cause homing feathers to fall from the sky. The feathers stick to enemies on hit, exploding after a short delay and dealing 35 damage to all enemies in range.

Trivia
- The exact meaning behind the word "Aerospec" is unknown, although it is believed to be a combination of "aero", meaning "air" (as in aerodynamics or aeronautics), and "specialization", similar to the suffix of "Shadowspec".
