First off, I LOVE NEWENOUGH.COM! I ordered the Joe Rocket Alter Ego (last year's model jacket and this year's pants) for $324 with free shipping... A few days later I realized they would not come in time since the pants had to come from one location and the jacket from their store. I called and immediately got a real person! Changed the shipping to 2 day air (cost me $22.70 extra) Fedex said it would be here buy the 2nd, so I would have to wait a little bit before I could leave for the WV rally, no big deal.... Fedex drops the package off at my work on the 1st! I'm one very happy camper at this point!
So I ride down for the rally, had zipped out the liner took the rain/wind proof panels off bot the jacket and pants. The jacket was so wonderful, like wearing a tee shirt. The fit couldn't have been better! The pants were a little on the hot side since I wore shorts that were long enough to cover most of the textile vent. In 90 degree weather, I advise wearing undees or a light pair of shorts. The only other complaint I have on the pants is the velcro needs to be longer so you don't have anything flapping around your ankles to distract you. I'm planning on sowing some extra on to take care of that.
I tried out the windproof rainproof shell on the way back home, seems to work nicely, but if it is very hot, you will slowing steam yourself to death LOL. But I have yet to find any rain gear that couldn't be said about.
Overall I am very pleased with this gear and the armor built in. Now I'll have to find out about the cold weather liner I have not used yet :-D
