I am typically an XL but for Alpine Stars I'm definitely a XXL. I strongly suggest you go up a size.
This glove is awesome. I have had them all, and they got this one right. It was a little snug in the beginning but by the third day of riding it was broke in to perfection.
Enjoy..

If you love your Sena, you'll certainly want to upgrade to the slim mic that you can stick anywhere in your helmet.

I have had them all and found the U-Clear the best. The sound and speaker quality is amazing and the boomless mic keeps your helmet feeling like it should without any foam obstructions in your mouth. At 80mph your conversations are crystal. The size of the device is smaller, not as bulking looking on the side of your helmet, and more important at least to me NO foam boom to deal with....I hope this helps, Enjoy!!!
Pros Comfortable, Great Value, Rugged

Bell Vortex Helmet Nothing beats a solid color to highlight the stylish design of a helmet. The Bell Vortex is available in a choice of gloss black, matte black, white or silver four classic color choices in the riding spectrum. Developed in Bells state-of-the-art Santa Cruz, California design center, the Vortex borrows heavily from its big brother the Star. With a solid compliment of features the Bell Vortex is a great choice as a primary helmet for everyday use that can also transition to the occasional track day. A killer price rounds out the package and gives you a big bang for your buck. Features Velocity Flow Ventilation system with FlowAdjust for maximum stability and temperature control with minimal noise and buffeting Lightweight composite polycarbonate alloy shell Contour cheek pads (by means of stacked foam, not hand cut) Removable and washable, antibacterial/antimicrobial interior comfort liner Padded Wind collar to drastically reduce wind/road noise Integrated speaker pockets for audio speakers ClickRelease for the fastest, easiest, tool-free shield swaps ever Clear NutraFog II superior anti-fog, anti-scratch and UV protected shield. Dark tint and other shields available for purchase separately Padded chin strap with D-ring closure and strap keeper Five-year warranty Weight 1600g Certification Snell M2010, DOT Please Note Helmet ships with clear faceshield only. RevZilla's Opinion of the The Bell Vortex Helmet The Bell Vortex Helmet has grown to be one of the top selling and more ubiquitous 200 sport helmets in the RevZilla family. The light weight, Snell Rating and ability to use the Bell Photochromic shield allow the Bell Vortex Helmet to cover a lot of the bases the typical sport or track day rider is looking for in a reasonably priced helmet. Many times we see this type of functionality only available in helmets over the 300 mark. In the 3/4 or tuck position the Bell Vortex Helmet will provide a great solution in just about any spirited or sport riding scenario. If you find a graphic or color that suits your taste and you have an intermediate oval head shape, the Bell Vortex is a great option.
 

Does the Bell Helmet decal come off, or is it printed onto the helmet?

Sizing help

Are these sized to fit over protective jackets and pants? I wear a 48-50 jacket and 50 euro pants? Should I do medium or large? Thanks!
most likely medium, large is typically for 54+

Every good rider knows that it is essential to have the right gear. The newly redesigned Revolt jersey is non-restrictive, lightweight, and looks great. The Revolt Jersey also features a silicone back patch that keeps the jersey tucked in the pants, non-interfering seam construction, and underarm mesh panels that allow unwanted heat to escape Features Padded Shoulders and Elbows Cut-Away Sleeves Breathable Moisture-Wicking Fabrics No-Fade Sublimated Graphics Silicone Back Patch Flex Neck Collar Non-Restrictive Cuffs
 

Is the sizing on jerseys meant for wearing the jersey over the chest and neck protectors? Should I take my chest measurements with the gear on?

yes I would.....

 Tour Master Coaster Air II Jacket
Tour Master Coaster Air II Jacket
Constructed with a combination of perforated and non-perforated top grain, grade A Aniline drum-dyed Leather construction (1.2-1.3mm). Stitched with high strength 6 ply bonded nylon thread. Removable, CE approved elbow, shoulder and back armor. External foam padded shoulders for additional protection. Zippered chest, sleeve and rear exit vents provide flow- through ventilation. Chest vents also double as pockets. Two hand pockets feature a mesh liner, and double as vents. Full circumference and 8 pant zipper attachment. Molded TPR zipper pulls for ease of operation. Dual leather expansion panel waist for a tailored fit. TPR molded Tour Master logos. Zippered sleeve key pocket with mesh back doubles as vent. 3M reflective piping.
 

What is the correct size jacket to buy?

I have read Tourmaster's sizing chart but I have also read reviews from people who say this jacket runs about 1 size small? I currently own a BMG Montana leather jacket in size 44 and it fits me perfectly, and I would like to buy the Coaster Air 2 but don't want to go through the hassle of a return.
I'd go with the same size if are you wearing anything underneath your BMG leather, like sweatshirts and/or layers.
you may want to go a size up depending on your answer to the questions above. I prefer my summer jacket to be less snug fitting or as fitted as my winter leather. In my opinion this allows a little more air flow keeping you cooler.
I hope this helps. Safe ridin!!
