I have no hand guards, no heated grips. I rode in 45F weather for 90 miles and 75 of those miles were at a 70mph or more sustained so the wind chill was probably 35F for at least an hour. I had the gloves set 1 notch BEFORE max because the max setting got my thumbs a little too warm and although my hands were chilly they never got numb. I wear a medium but due to the bulkier nature a small fit better so I got those instead since heated products like this work better closer to the body.
Yes, I recommend this product.

As the kids would say this jacket is baller. I'm 5'9" 175lbs somewhat athletic build with a 39in chest easy so I ordered the medium and this jacket is about as perfect as a jacket can fit. My old lady and I took a 2hr ride to a Denver mall in 75F weather and without the liner I was very comfortable. When we got there a few women commented on both of us in our gear and a couple of guys in 2 different stores stopped me to tell me how awesome mine looked. If you look halfway in shape and rock this jacket you'll get some people noticing that's for sure cause it will just accent your buffness lol. I haven't rode my sportbike with it but when I rode the cruiser that day the collar kind of scratched my throat a little irritating my freshly shaven skin so I would be curious to see what a large feels like but I may not have as much issue on my sportbike with it's forward angle. An added benefit is that the attack fit seems to reduce some arm fatigue with the way its precurved. I have the Stryker level II back protector and it fits a little tighter with it in as its bulkier than the one it comes with.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Palm and back in highly abrasion-resistant sweat-resistant and color-fast kangaroo leather Unlined palm. Back and thumb fully padded with shock-absorbing SUPROTECT and 100 Kevlar One of the most common injuries is dislocation of the little finger. This happens because the little finger is inadequately protected. To avoid this Held has given the little and ring fingers additional Kevlar padding on the inside and outside Pre-formed, crumple-free palm Special flat seams reduce pressure points on the inner hand, and enhance feel GFC shells with 100 Kevlar ceramic polymer matrix coating give perfect protection to the side of the hand and knuckles Side of hands and knuckles protected with highly abrasion-resistant rayskin, (dasyatis bleekeri), a world first. This is underlaid with shock-absorbing gel, for unmatched impact protection. Protected Velcro straps on the cuff and wrist Visor wiper

As strictly a canyon rider I wanted more protection than a half glove most of the guys around here wear. The price is eye opening but the quality and material are top notch. This glove has almost every kind of animal hide imaginable even stingray which is one of the most abrasion resistant skins out there. I wear a size 8 which is a medium and have skinny fingers as well but they fit great for me. There is a break in process because when I first put them on and open/closed my fist it made my pinky knuckles pop. I soaked them in water, put my hand in them to get a good form, then removed them gently to keep the shape and let them air dry overnight which helped. I've used the finger wiper which is pretty decent but what I like most is the fact the the palm doesn't bunch up on the grips which gives you a better feel on the controls. Some folks seem to complain about some of the palm material coming off but that's just from you riding with them which is referred to as normal wear and tear. An interesting note with these gloves is that you can ride in these from 60-100+F temps with no issues which surprised me greatly. A very versatile glove with top notch protection and fit. You'll have these for a long time and won't have to worry about the leather blowing out if you stick your hand out on a crash with all quality material they've used to prevent that.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I've owned this jacket for a complete season and more now so I wanted to share my thoughts. Overall the jacket is great with Knox armor including the back protector and for the price it's really hard to find another one like it and you prob can't. One of the minor complaints were the fit and durability. S&S recommends if you are between sizes go with the smaller one so with a 39in chest I went with a small which I never wear and it fit very, very snug. The chest area was fine but the arms were a little tight so when I tucked on the bike the arm snaps would pop of and flap around which I didn't like so I recommend if you are between sizes go with the bigger size. I wash my textile jackets on the "hand wash" setting in my washer then literally air dry it but if you buy the white color after awhile the zipper and some of the other white plastic/rubber items will develop a yellow look to them. The shoulder armor is not completely sewn in so my right one got ripped somehow (maybe the washer, ha) to the point when I was washed it the darn thing would pop out which leads me to my biggest issue. No removal pieces except the back protector! There is no way to get to the shoulder armor in easily so if they pop out you have to work with the outer mesh layer and figure out where the fabric pocket is to put it back in to which is a pain. So if you can't access the mesh pockets that hold the shoulder armor why wouldn't you sew the shoulder armor completely shut on the inside??? I emailed S&S to see if there was something I was missing and they just responded saying I should take it to an alterations place which is fine but kinda disappointed they didn't offer me an option to send it to them. It may still see the alterations place. Other than those its good in warm weather but would recommend a mesh option for really hot or really humid temps, it feels very secure, and has a deep internal pocket. I can't recommend it for winter because it doesn't have a full liner but with a thermal on you can take it to 40-50F temps as I've done on my sportbike.
Yes, I recommend this product.

The Held Warm N Dry Glove is the choice for cold and wet weather riding. With Superfabric, reinforced knuckles,and high quality leather these comfortable gloves do not compromise protection! The Warm N Dry Gloves also work great with heated grips! The palm is thin enough to allow good feel for the controls and allow the grip heaters to warm your hands, while the lightly insulated back helps to hold in the heat and protect your hands from cold rain and windchill. Glove Outershell Glove Lining Membrane Comfort/Features Safety Palm in goatskin Back in stretch fabric (75 polyamide, 15 polyurethane, 10 others) with leather detailing Pique push-pull lining (100 polyester) Upper part in GORE-TEX Thermoplush Fleece (100 polyester) GORE-TEX membrane, waterproof, windproof and breathable (100 polyester with 100 polyurethane coating) Velcro adjustment at wrists and cuffs Stretch fabric parts (100 polamide) on back Visor wiper Hard plastic knuckle protection, covered with leather Side of hand and ball of the thumb reinforced Side of hand reinforced with SUPERFABRIC brand material Double leather at palm 3M-SCOTCHLITE reflector piping

I like Held gloves especially my Phantoms so I sprung for these over my current hand me down Shift Torrent SS gloves. The fit is consistent with other Held gloves (size 8 = M) and the quality is there as well though Held appears to have different gloves made in different places since these are made in China and my Phantoms are made in Hungary but whatever. Your hands can get a little sweaty and in the 50's your fingers will feel the cold but mine never got numb after over an hour. I ride a sportbike so someone with heated grips/grip guards might get more temps out of them. In all honesty I feel like I'm paying for quality or brand name more than the gloves ability to handle colder temps but with a glove that isn't as bulky what can you expect. You could ride the better part of day in 50F temps in these but anything under I would say max is an hour ride without heated grips.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Is the S&S twist of fate 2.0 TEXTILE jacket going to be good for warm weather (Georgia) riding.
I live in Savannah Ga and it gets pretty hot. I have a joe rocket mesh jacket but it does not fit right, the shoulders are too big. I tried this (twist of fate 2.0 Textile) jacket on at a local dealer and it fit me perfect. However the jacket is textile and not mesh so I am a little worried about getting it because it may be to hot to wear what do you guys think. Is it made for warm wethater? I know there is a mesh one too but I really like the look and fit of this one compared to the mesh. thanks for your help.
I would say that anyone who lives in a hot humid climate go with the mesh unless you like to sweat a lot. Even here in CO in the summer the jacket is warm but still good airflow when moving but not enough to dry you off.

Can you please tell me what are the differences between the accelarant, the overlord, and the overlord prime jackets?
The major differences:
Accelerant = sport fit not the attack fit like the overlord's
Overlord = attack fit, compatible with overlord pants to attach together
Overlord prime = attack fit, external looks, compatible with overlord pants to attach together
Accelerant = sport fit not the attack fit like the overlord's
Overlord = attack fit, compatible with overlord pants to attach together
Overlord prime = attack fit, external looks, compatible with overlord pants to attach together
