Have had the suit for a month now and wear it everyday on the 20 mile commute to work. Temps in the am are down to 15F and up to 55F on some afternoons. With the liner I've stayed toasty the whole way. Without the liner wind protection is great but insulation is minimal...pretty sure it will be solid come summer. Fabric is tough stuff....very stiff to put on but seems to be loosening up a bit. I tape out at 72", 165lbs, long legs, skinny dude....bought a large. Two minor fit complaints: with the liner installed it's a bit tight in the crotchital region sitting on the bike and it gets a bit tight around the waist even with velcro straps loosened...not a deal breaker at all. Looks outstanding, got the yellow and stands out like a small nuke blast. One last grip...liner is a bit awkward. Doesn't attach to shell all that well so you basically end up putting on two suits. All that said it's a great suit and you'd be a fool to buy anything else on the market for this price! If in doubt on sizing...go one bigger.
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.
Nope...it's has both knee and hip armor. Just foam on the hips but knee cups are stout.

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

Upper portion of suit zips to the shell like every insulated jacket out there. Small velcro straps at the back of neck and arms. Legs only have small velcro strap on one point at the ankle. Have to zip legs both on liner and shell. Arm and ankle attachments are pretty weak, usually pull liner arms out when taking off. Kind of a pain but fit matches shell perfectly.
