Being February in CO, I've not yet taken out the liner and determined the upper temperature limit.
Comments below are at highway speeds with the liner installed and sitting behind a windhield (cruiser) matched with FirstGear HT Overpants.
30F-45F: Vents closed, moderate thickness fleece underneath.
45F-60F: Light fleece underneath
above 60F: just a T-Shirt underneath with vents open.
I'm 6'2" / 170lb and bought Size LGT (Large Tall).
I'm always comfortable and I'm very happy with my purchase.

ProForm vs RapidFIRe, 28Watt vs 24Watt

The description is confusing.

The initial description indicates 14 Watts per Glove then later on it says that ProForm gloves are rated at 24 Watts per pair and is engineered to match ProForm liners and vests.

What is ProForm? Is that an old model replaced with RapidFIRe?

Are these 24 Watt ProForm gloves or 28 Watt RapidFIRe gloves?

Thanks

Compare SMH10-11 to SMH-10

This would be my first motorcycle bluetooth headset and after viewing the reviews on Revzilla it seems that the SMH10 is a favorite and fits my needs. But now there is the SMH10-11 and it hard to tell what was upgraded or changed from the SMH-10 to this model? In other words, what do I get for the additional $15 (dual pack)?

Thanks to the good guys at RevZilla for going back to PowerLet and clarifying the wording (as it was the same confusing verbiage on Powerlet's site). They even contacted me via email and phone to clarify it .. now that's service !!.

These are actually 36 Watts per pair (18 Watts per glove).

ProForm is the name that PowerLet gives to the stretchy material used for these gloves.
