Granted I only rode once with the new pinlock lens, but what a difference! It was about 29-32 degrees outside and no fogging at all if you are moving and the helmet is fully closed (even if you are going 5 mph) and very mild fogging if you are at a stop.
No more constantly keeping the helmet half opened, freezing the face etc etc etc. Highly recommend!

Just got this boot and rode only once, so no comment on durability, but it being Dainese I have no worries. This boot is comfortable, no tight, hot spots, the inside liner folds in very well. Its warm as well, was riding highway speeds in 28 degree weather and was plenty warm. It is much beefier than it looks on pictures, which is a good thing. Shifting and braking was not an issue on the 2009 FZ1, despite it being a full boot.
So far I am pretty happy with the purchase. The only issue I had so far, is you can't put jeans/pants over it, as the top of the boot is pretty bulky. Motorcycle winter pants go over just fine though.

The more Dainese products I buy the more happy I become with them. This boot did not require any break-in, very easy to walk in (won't take it hiking, but can easily walk around), provides very good protection (I hope I don't have to test it) and overall looks amazing, just like other D products.
Attention to details is amazing as always. Boot flows enough air to be comfortable in 90+ degree weather. Sizing seems to run a bit small, so maybe get half a size larger. Overall the boot looks great, I am wearing size 44 and it actually looks small on the foot! Extremely comfortable to ride in, you don't even feel that you have a boot on, more like a sneaker.
Price is a bit high, but just pay it and be happy with the purchase!

This is my first leather jacket, but compared to anything else I have tried and worn by other brands, Dainese is at a completely different level. The hefty price tag is worthy if you are looking for a great, stylish jacket that offers plenty of protection.
I am 185lbs, 5'10'' muscular and went with size 52. The fit is perfect. I just did 2000 miles to the Dragon from NYC in the new jacket and it is simply amazing. I rode easy 500 mile days in it. For colder times (as this jacket flows ALOT of air) I can fit a thermal shirt and electrical liner or a thick sweater under it and be fine down to 45s (with electric heat). For rain I just put a thin rain jacket over it.
People definitely notice the styling of the jacket and its quality. Alien is absolutely a sports bike jacket, but does't make you look like you come from a track...I can ride my bike to the office and people dont give you weird stares.
I can see how this jacket will last long long time if you don't abuse it too much...like getting it wet and then not drying it in time. It got wet on my trip, I dried it up, put some mink oil on it and it looks and feels like new.
Very happy I bought it!!! Now looking for a pair of Dainese leather pants to match it up
Safe Riding!
Yes, I recommend this product.

not much to review here. Fits just perfect into my new Dainese Alien jacket's back pocket. Glad I ordered the jacket big enough size, as the protector is much thicker than my Alpinestar protectors so it needs more roomier jacket.
airflow is really good...was wearing it on an 80s day in NC and was not sweating at all while moving. Also, it makes me warmer if I am riding in 50s-60s degree temperature.
Great product....not looking forward to testing its protection level though!

Great glove, although I expected a bit more of a "glove" for this much money. The fit was great for my hands, except the pinky finger, which due to the pre-curved shape and distortion control is a bit too long for the pinky. This issue dissapears once you grab the handlebar.
airflow is more than i expected, riding in high 70s is absolutely comfortable, but obviously, below 60s is too cold. easy to use your hands in gloves, zippers etc.
absolutely recommend, great quality product from D again!
