This is my second Teknic product. Considering the close out price and quality of product, I am very satisfied with the gloves. Features are extensive to provide adequate protection in the event of a spill. Fit for me was true to style, contrary to other reviews. Fastening the two closures on each glove does take more time to don, but it is almost negated due to the dexterity of the glove. Upon closer inspection, the pair I received were of quality stitching. Would highly recommend this product. Good price point for a good quality, very protective, and very stylish glove. Love them. Revzilla, as always, deliver on their service. Thanks!
Yes, I recommend this product.

I ride year round, so I was looking for a weatherproof, four season suit that would be good in all riding conditions. This suit has met my needs for cold weather riding to say the least. I am 220 lbs., with a 46 in. chest, 36 in. waist, and 32 in. inseam. Per the Revzilla staff, I chose the large size. The fit is snug with the liner in, while wearing polypropylene underwear,and the length is good with riding boots. I have put about 1000 mi.s on since it's purchase and ride 200-300 mi.s a week to work. While not riding in a downpour, I have ridden in some rain and have stayed dry. I have also ridden down to 17 degrees Fahrenheit and stayed comfortable. I feel confident I could ride in colder temperatures. Keep in mind that I like cold weather and cold tolerances are individual. The suit is well constructed, with many pockets to store items, and durable zippers and Velcro-style fastners. Protective pads stay put and cover appropriately their respective areas. I chose the high-viz yellow, which gets attention. Therefore, be prepared for comments. The only short fall of the suit would be holes to run wires for heated garments. I use heated gloves and had to compensate by mounting my system onto the bike. Certainly a small inconvenience for a great product. I will have to wait for warm weather to see how well the ventilation system works. I purchased the suit, while on sale, and had 25 zilla cash. Great banana suit for the buck!! Very pleased.

Gerbing's T5 Heated Gloves The Gerbing's T5 Leather Gloves are exceptionally light, strong and pliable gloves. The gloves are constructed of a light supple leather to help reduce bulk but designed to keep your hands and fingers toasty warm. The T5's heat the entire length of each finger and thumb as well as the back of the hands. To keep the draft out and heat in, there is an adjustable wrist strap to seal the cuff. Other details include a non slip grip material on the palm, protective padding on the knuckles, reinforced palms, interior waterproofing and Thermolite insulation. Whether it is long distance riding where comfort and warmth are essential or intercity high traffic commuting where safety is a must, the Gerbing's T5 Gloves deliver exceptional performance. FEATURES Gerbing's Microwire technology heats the entire length of each finger including the thumb as well as the back of your hand Gauntlet style glove Adjustable wrist fastener Hypora waterproof, breathable membrane (though the leather exterior is not waterproof and should be treated with Nikwax Glove Proof ) Thinsulate insulation for great warmth and dexterity Brushed tricot liner for added warmth and durability Incorporates Gerbing's Microwire heating technology that uses micro-sized heating fibers to surround the hand with warmth. Lifetime warranty on the Microwire heating elements Includes Gerbings Glove / Insole Y Harness (ACYH) SPECIFICATIONS Heat Microwire Source 12V DC Current 2.2A Watts 27 Surface Temp About 57C/135F FITMENT NOTES Slightly narrower fit than Gerbing's G3 Gloves makes these a good choice for women or men with narrower hands

Gerbing T5 Heated Gloves
PostedMarch 11, 2011
These are replacements for heated glove inserts from CozyWinter.(Their inserts would usually break every season; would not recommend their products. Poor customer support, too) Really haven't gotten to use in cold weather. Coldest has been 27 degrees F so far. I use a temperature controler that came with my CozyWinter heated glove inserts. I found that I had to turn up the temperature controller to achieve a comfortable temperature, but that could be the difference between using a glove and an insert. Very comfortable and toasty once the correct temperature was dialed in. Very satisfied with the product. Not sure if we are going to get it, but am looking forward to testing in the lower 20s and teens. My hands are the only thing that gets cold, and if you are like me, you will be happy with these gloves. Costly, but worth it.
Pros Comfortable, Lifetime warranty
Cons None
Yes, I recommend this product.

Warmth of this jacket in relation to Rev'it's Cayenne Pro Jacket
Watching the video covering Rev'it's Cayenne Pro jacket, they tout it could handle very cold weather; Alaska cold weather. I ride year round and will ride in the low 20s. Will the Olympia AST 2 jacket also handle similar temperatures? I know it is subjective as to how cold one finds tolerable. I am just looking to find what will meet my needs.

Can you wear leather pants inside these boots?
I have a pair of Dainese Alien leather pants. While wearing these pants with my Alpinestar Alpha touring boots, the fit is tight and the zipper doesn't go all the way up to the top. Was in an accident and the Alpha boots aren't waterproof any longer. Looking to upgrade.

I wear a Gerbing Heated Jacket. Does this suit have any kind of opening or port to run the cable through?
No. That is one of the only shortfalls of the suit. I use a pair of Gerbing heated gloves and had to mount my wires and controller to the bike. I have read where some people have made holes in the suit to run the wires, but that compromises the suit. That would have to be your decision.

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.
It has CE approved knee protection. According to the product description, they are adjustable. It also has hip pads, which are thin and not CE approved.

Liner functionality - does the liner zip into the suit, or do you put on the liner, then the suit separately.
The liner is attached to the suit by zipper and fastened by velcro at the legs.
