I have large thing hands, so I have a certain amount of "deal with it" when buying gloves. I have come to expect a high level of quality from Dainese.
I was pretty bummed to find out that the ring fingers were sized differently on each glove. The left ring finger was too tight, and the armor squeezed uncomfortably against my knuckles for the first hundred miles. They are beginning to break in nicely due to the softness of the leather.
They get amazing airflow for being black leather, and my hands are not usually sweaty.
I ride 5 days a week. I look forward to these breaking in nicely. Great lightweight leather gauntlet, doesn't make me look like a power ranger, but still feel protective.

Klim Tactical Short Say goodbye to the days of chafing and other riding maladies associated with loose-fitting riding shorts. The Klim Tactical Short is designed to keep your equipment stowed properly and to wick moisture away from your skin to ensure maximum possible comfort on your ride. The saddle area is constructed with a high-tech triple-density chamois that will help absorb riding vibrations and cushion your ride. PORON XRD Extreme Impact Protection material is embedded in strategic locations to help absorb impacts. On impact, the PORON XRD high-performance molecules create a unique protective shield that can repeatedly absorb up to 90 of the most intense force.

Tried the klim tac shorts on under some riding pants. They fit with no problems and felt very comfortable during a short ride around the block.
The tac shorts are fairly thin, and flowed air well. The thicker foam pads seemed to be made of a fairly durable material, and on my drz400sm, the foam crotch pad is a welcome addition.

Icon Variant Helmet - Solid Survival is a matter of enhanced situational awareness - an unforgiving maze of gravel strewn corners and malevolent steel. Comfort, vision, protection. Introducing the Variant helmet from Icon. A wind tunnel refined shape, executed in a Fiberglass/ Dyneema/Carbon matrix, along with an dual-density EPS core provide critical impact energy management. Extensive venting and a removable Hydradry wicking liner provide increase comfort by reducing rider fatigue. The anti-lift visor directs and channels airflow as it reduces the glare from an unyielding UV assault. While the extended eyeport and zero distortion optics provide unrivaled field of view. If the streets are your area of operation - equip yourself for the fight. All world standard, meets or exceeds the following dot fmvss 218 (US), ECE 22-05 (Europe), SAI AS1698 (Australia) and SG (Japan) safety and testing standards. Does not ship with SAI or SG certification stickers. Fiberglass / Dyneema / Carbon Fiber Shell Industry leading multi-inlet ventilation system Wind tunnel tested and refined Antilife visor Integrated chin EPS Air Channels reduce shield fogging Distortion free precision optics Anti-fog shield Removable Hydra-Dry moisture wicking liner Removable chin curtain

RAD: Fits great. the shield never fogs. huge field of vision. always get compliments (bought the white model). visor is a good mix of long enough to block the sun, and short enough to keep drag down to a minimum.
SAD: loud as hell. drafty even when the vents are closed. pulls my head around like a cheap hooker if travelling over 75mph, but i have no fairings to break the wind.
overall, totally happy i own it. buy a different helmet if you deal with cold or wind.

Removal of Insoles
Is it possible to completely remove the TCX factory insole? I have flat feet and need to use a medical insole instead.
