I have been wearing this suit for my 20m commute on the Houston freeways over the winter, which some would say hardly qualifies, but the mornings have been down to the mid 30s F with mist for the last week or so. Although not known as a fashion icon, my wife says it looks like I mean business. The suit is heavy duty and stiff, which is good as it keeps it from flapping, with a good insulating air gap at high speeds. It needs a two-helmet box to hold it, but on a BMW RT it's not a real problem. I am a slim 155lbs and 5' 11" and I have the Large, which fits over my work clothes fine although a bit snug with the liner, but that's OK for the number of times I use it. Getting in and out without the liner is easy, although I suggest its quicker to take off boots or shoes rather than mess with the leg zips all the way. The quality seems excellent with plenty of stowage, and armour seems well placed. The neck strap is a bit claustrophobic, but I guess that's just the way I'm built, so I wear a scarf or tube when it's cold. Personnaly, I wouldn't go anywhere in the winter without this suit... Nothing is cool enough in the summer... so that's not an issue. Get one!
Yes, I recommend this product.

No lower body armor?

It seems to have no hip or knee armor, or even pockets for armor. A fatal flaw, if I'm correct about that.
There is definately hip and knee armor in mine... I just checked!

Liner functionality - does the liner zip into the suit, or do you put on the liner, then the suit separately.

Yes it does zip in along the sides of the chest area. there are also velcro tabs in the sleeves, the bottom of the legs, and at the neck. I guess you could put the liner on separately but I tend to leave it in the suit when is cooler. Bear in mind that, if you are wearing a couple of layers of clothing under it, you may not need the liner very often... With regular pants, shirt and light sweatshirt, I only go for the liner below mid 40s for my 20m commute on the freeways in Houston... and I have gone down to mid 30s without and it's not a real problem for shortish trips.

Will the suit fit with liner ?

I just received the XXXL Stealth suit from you and it does fit but is snug. Is the Phantom cut the same and will It fit me with the liner ?
The fit is slightly small with the liner in so I went one size up which worked great.... a little loose without the liner and little snug with it in, wearing it over regular pants, shirt and sweatshirt. In either case it's comfy and toasty once on. I only wear the liner when its below 35 to 40F so its not a real issue for me in Houston, but if you plan to wear the liner regularly with more stuff on underneath, (not really necessary), I would go up 2 sizes and try that if you are tall enough.
