I have not worn it extensively yet, but it already seems to me like a good glove, a bit thick on the palm of the hand, but except for that, the glove seems great. It looks like it will protect well in case of a fall, it has a badass streetfighter look and it's real well vented.
For that price, what could you ask for more? Yes, if you have 20 or so more to invest in your gloves, go for something that is fully articulated on the knuckles and might offer better protection, but that would be investing about 30% more into a pair of gloves.
These are great, they do the job they should. Just be careful, take at least one size up.

The helmet I had before this one was used, and I hated going high speeds with it, it just did not feel stable.
I have to say, I'm not an expert on helmets, but this one just was more than what I expected. It's light, plenty vented and you have a nice wide vision also.
The helmet seems well balanced, it's still real comfortable and predictable at high speeds, and it's little spoiler seems to help it from not wanting to lift off my head like other helmets.
I haven't needed to really use the pump yet, it goes just fine without, maybe when the foams will compact a little more or on a track day it might be useful, but for now it seems a little more like a gadget.
I don't know yet about protection, and obviously don't want to find out. And for durability, the quick release seems kind of flimsy but only time will tell.
All in all, I was amazed by it's comfort once on the bike, at this price I'd definitely buy again!

This Jacket was everything I was looking for.
-Versatile for a good range of temperatures
-Superior protection
-Great mobility on the bike
-Great price (relatively to others like it)

It flows air much more than i expected, pads are great, feel weird at first but once you are on the bike they fall into place, and give you a lot of confidence.
Sizing was spot on. I'm a thin guy, but still quite tall (6'1") and the lengths were ok compared to plenty of other brands.
The only thing that annoys me for now is the collar that kinda rubs on my neck... It should break in soon.

Glove Feel
Does the glove feel thicker and/or scratchy on the inside as a result of the kevlar?
How is the air flow, we talking an all season or summer only glove?
Thanks

The inside is slightly thicker, but there is no Kevlar in the fingers, so it wont compromise the ability to use them. The Kevlar is not itchy at all, just feels like normal cotton or polyester.
It's a pretty well vented glove, I'd say more a three season glove, or a "summer plus".
There are more vented gloves out there, but I don't think I'll have any problem with heat in these gloves in the summer, as for the cold, I'd at least put a liner under 10° Celsius.

What size should I get?
I measured my hand at 3 1/2 inches. The size chart says this is a Medium. However, the video talks about the gloves running "bigger." Should I follow the size chart and get a M or do a L?
Go large, I think you'd regret it otherwise.
We have the same width in hand, I tried both sizes and wend with the large, you'll see, it still will be snug.
