These shields are great! I own several in different colors. They do not fog since they aren't close to your face. The field of vision is excellent, and they offer more protection from dust and debris than goggles. They're great in the rain or summer heat. Just be careful, they're prone to scuffs and scratches if you're not careful where you store' em.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I had my eye on this jacket for a while. I thought it might be a good alternative to a neon yellow hi-vis jacket. Unfortunately, it runs toward the opposite end of the spectrum in terms of style.
First, it runs really small, almost a full 2 sizes smaller than my other jackets. Secondly, the shoulders are very square and wide, while the waist is extremely tapered. It reminded of something my wife would have worn in the eighties.
Third, the material is very stiff and plastic-like. Any arm movement made the entire jacket ride up my torso in jerky, crunchy fits. It was uncomfortable just standing in it for a few minutes.
There are some nice details, like the unique open-ended snaps on the waist adjuster and sleeves and the leather panels on the shoulders and forearms are kinda cool!
Overall, the jacket doesn't have the comfort and feel of something in this price range.

I'll admit I never actually used this suit. I was drawn to it because of the price and the retro styling. Unfortunately, I did not pay enough attention to the "arctic" aspect of the suit. Living in a warm weather climate I don't have much need for insulation. Assuming you have some gear underneath, I would imagine it to be very warm. Wearing it briefly inside, it was more than adequate for warmth.
However, beware of the fit. The torso runs on the small side. The cuffs are elasticized and are extremely small. Anyone with large forearms or wrists would probably find it uncomfortable. On the flip side, the legs are rather baggy. I would think they would catch quite a bit of air riding at hiway speed. They have zippered legs openings to fit over boots easily, but stepping into the suit can be a bit of a chore because the zipper does not go down quite far enough.
As for utility, I thought the oversized map pockets and flap pockets on the chest were a nice touch.

This is a decent helmet for the price. It is very lightweight and comfortable. However, it is best suited for riding around town as, like most open face helmets, it is very noisy. Also, at hiway speeds air tends to get under the shorty-style visor and lift up a little. Still, it's a good choice for leisurely rides at slower speeds or throwing on to run some errands.

What size should I get?
I am 5'7", weigh 175, 34" waist and a 42" chest. I will have a large jacket on underneath and jeans. I wear a large in regular T-shirts and clothes. I was thinking I should also get this in a large. What do you think and if it is the wrong size can I exchange it?
I'm 5'7" and 160lbs. I ordered a small and the fit was spot on. RevZilla cautions this suit runs 1 size large, and I have to agree. I think a medium would do fine.

How heavy is this helmet (Large)?
How heavy is this helmet (Large)?
This is the lightest helmet I've worn. In my opinion, this is both a positive and a negative. It is considerably lighter than the Bell 500, for instance. However, it also seems to be lesser quality.
