I bought the Gear Pants to replace my old Revit Mistral pants, which are getting pretty worn after around 100,000 miles of riding in them. The Mistrals are mesh pants with a waterproof liner, which have been comfortable in all kinds of weather. The Gear pants are also mesh with a waterproof liner, and also have leather for better abrasion resistence, so they sound like a good replacement for the Mistrals, which are now discontinued.
I bought the same size as my old pants, but the belt line of the Gear pants is lower on the hips. The legs are a bit shorter too. The knee padding is much more bulky, which may be good for safety, but make me look like a robot. Perhaps the worst thing is that the pants are really heavy. No matter how I tighten the adjustable hip straps they feel like they won't stay up if not zipped to a jacket. I generally use suspenders but the Gears are so heavy I think they will simply streach out the elastic suspenders, allowing the pants to slide down. I considered exchanging them for a larger size, to fix the short leg and low belt-line issue, but that would probably make them even more heavy. I'm very dissapointed, and am glad Revzilla has a good returns policy.

Shoei Neotec Modular Helmet Evolving on previous designs, Shoei has revamped its modular helmet style with a streamlined and attractively sculpted shape that conveys the feel of freely moving through the outdoors in the Shoei Neotec Modular Helmet. Overall shell size is kept compact by incorporating the internal sun visors open/close mechanism inside all ventilation mechanisms are shaped and positioned in such a way as to reduce any possible drag. A redesigned aerodynamic spoiler also helps to cut lift, reducing neck strain on long, cross country rides. In the Shoei Neotec all these features combine to create a premium helmet that excels in appearance, protection, comfort and performance. The Shoei Neotec Helmets chin bar is connected to the same axis point and mechanism as its shield, minimizing extra parts. This also enables simultaneous closing of the shield with the chin bar, which is then held in place with an easy-open lock release button. The shield lock system offers secure closure or the ability to keep the shield slightly open to allow for increased airflow. With the Shoei Neotec Helmet, Shoei now includes a built-in sun shield, the QSV-1. The visor tucks neatly away beneath a non-intrusive shell built into the helmets liner, and can be lowered with the easy control of a sliding button. Shoei Neotec Helmet Features Face Shield Features Easily operable lever mechanism Anti-fog, anti-scratch, 99 UV blocking New Pinlock-ready CNS-1 faceshield Wider and taller than the CX-1V that it replaces Includes Pinlock insert 3D injection molding process ensures a distortion-free view Improved Ventilation and Aerodynamics Newly designed vortex generators pull air through helmet 276 more airflow than Multitec Added inlets and outlets Vents are flush against helmet to maintain aerodynamics 5-Ply Shock-Absorbing Fiber Shell 3 shell sizes AIM Multi-Composite construction Lightweight yet strong Shell-integrated spoiler reduces lift and drag during high-speed riding Dual EPS Liner Multi-density EPS for optimal protection Two vents funnel fresh air through the EPS liner Dual liner channels route and disperse air evenly throughout the helmet EPS liner in chin bar All new interior Fully removable 3D interior liner Top center pad is removable and washable Improved cheekpad design allows better fit with eyeglasses Included chin curtain can be inserted into the chin bar to reduce turbulence and noise All Neotec Helmets sold in the US have a double D-ring closure Be sure to check out our Shoei Neotec Review above, in which we detail and break down all of the features and functionality of the brand new Shoei Neotec Helmet.

I bought the Neotec to replace a Multitec I had for several years. I bought the same size as the Multitec and it fits very much the same. The cheek pads were quite tight at first, but after only a few days they loosened up and are very comfortable now. The sun shade works even with glasses on and there is plenty of room for a microphone in front of my mouth, which was lacking on the Multitec. The top vent passes much more air but even when closed I feel a bit of breeze comming through. I'm a bit concerned that rain might leak in through the vent (which never happened on the Multitec), but haven't had the opportunity to find out yet.
The Neotec is quieter than the Multitec, especially with the face shield opened only one click, where the Multitec was particularly noisey. The chin curtain on the Neotec makes it very comfortable in cold weather, but will have to come out when it gets hot because it completely blocks air circulation from the bottom opening of the helmet.
I'm quite satisfied with the Neotec. It seems to have addressed the few weaknesses of the Multitec (lack of removable liner, lack of space for a microphone, lack of room for ear speakers, a bit noisey) without degrading anything else in the process.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Is The F5 Full Duplex?
I presently use the original Interfone ( don't remember what its model number is) One of the things I like about it is that it is full duplex, so there is no need to wait for a VOX circuit to respond, and no push-to-talk button. Is the full duplex functionality included in the F5, and is the published 11 hour battery life applicable in full duplex operation? Thanks.

Is the fit of the Neotec similar to the Multitec?
I own a Multitec helmet and considering replacing it with a Neotec.Is it reasonable to assume that if I order the same size Neotec that I use with the Multitec, that the fit will be similar?
