I have mixed feeling on the package, balaclava has a good fit and is warm for your neck area. Breath box is handy, but you'll need to get a good fit around the nose area, otherwise its for not. The faceshield while working good at preventing fogging, is distracting with the doulble pane section slightly blurring that critical area of vision on the edge of your side view. I choose to use my transistion shield and the breath box. Overall a good value, you can mix and match the items to get a good result for your needs.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Every Motorcyclist should consider HI-Viz gear, in this age of distracted drivers (cell phone use, etc,). I decided to forsake my vanity for my attractive leather jackets, and protect my life against injury or death. After reading other reviews, I chose this vest. Very Pleased! Good adjustability, quality, and fit. I've already noticed, and been told by a driver at gas station that the Hi-Viz got his attention early. Enough said!
Yes, I recommend this product.

After owning many, many Leather Jackets, all brands. I've found I wear my Alpinestars Jackets! They simply fit, and feature the comfort with safety qualities Motorcycle riders need. From the sleeve length to collar fitment, I admire the overall product quality! Do they cost more? Yes, but you recieve a Product that doesn't stay in your closet, but on your back, where it belongs. This particular Moto GP version is very attractive, and is loaded with track or street worthy features! Revzilla has great on time delivery, and appears to be geared towards Motorcycle rider service and products. Buy this jacket, you'll be rewarded with years of satisfaction!
Yes, I recommend this product.

I first tried these on Kawasaki 09' ZX6R, handled better than BT-016 & 2ct's. Also, I've achieved over 3,000 miles and they still look like another 1,500 before reaching tabs in center. I maintain 36/42 f & r p.s.i. I ride very hard in very twisty roads in TN mountains. Never a slip, and again great handling. I chose these tires to replace my factory tires on my much larger 2011 Kawasaki Concourse. Again great handling, and even wear. Mileage looks like I'll achieve about the same as factory tires, but with much better handling ( C-14 are just plain heavy bikes ). Will continue to use this tire, till Pirelli makes a generation update. Highly recommend this tire!

I chose these Leathers to mate with Alpinestar Jackets, and for cold weather riding. I"m extremely pleased, Fit was spot on with Jean sizes. I didn't want the tight fit my track leathers provide, as these are used for Sport touring on a Kawasaki Concourse 14. The comfort with a thermal under garmet provided, was great down in the low 30's. The snap and securing strap for waist is very good. I'll try to obtain a Vented version later this summer, as these met and exceeded my expectations.

XL-XXL fits perfect (6',210 lbs.). I really like the comfort and weight of jacket. The collar really is a nice touch, adjustable for all size necks. I've worn in 30 degree's with the liner and t-shirt, and found myself comfortable. Feels good with liner out around 60 degrees and up. Styling is very cool, and pockets are all well placed. Zippers are smooth and easy to move with gloves. I would highly recommend this jacket!

What is the film on the INSIDE of the snow visor?
There is a yellowish film on the inside of the visor. I haven't removed it, because I thought it might supposed to function as a light-enhancing element to the visor; however, looking through it provides a foggy view. Do I remove the film?
Yes, its only a protective film to resist damage during packaging a & handling.
