I bought this boot as my first boot. I was pretty much just looking for fit, comfort, and protection.
Fit: I wear anywhere between a 9 and a 10 in shoes. My vibram 5 fingers are a size 42. Likewise, my boots are size 42. Lengthwise they fit perfectly. I have a wide forefoot and a narrow heel/ankle. These boots seem to have been made with the opposite in mind: it is slightly narrow in the front and wide at the heel. As a result, I do get some heel lift. To prevent this I am just wearing socks for now.
Comfort: The boots are definitely comfortable. The past few days when I have been riding in below 60 degree weather, I was glad I did not purchase the perforated boots. However anything over 80 and my feet sweat considerably. Boots are comfortable, I feel a little pressure on my pinky toe, that is it. I suppose pants are to be tucked into this boot? I adjusted the velcro calf straps tight enough so I could wear under jeans.
Protection: This was the selling point on the boot. The hinge ankle system is neat, and although it probably is not strong enough to make a significant difference, it does add an extra few mm's of plastic protection on top of the ankle. Also, heel cup is incredibly sturdy.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I am a new rider and was searching for something that was visible, fitting, comfortable, and protective. This being said, I will comment on each of these categories below:
Visibility: I was hoping that this was more white than gray. Was originally looking at hiviz jackets but they either did not fit well orit wasn't particularly wat I was looking for. there is little reflective material in the jacket o, or at leas less than I wanted.
Fit: I wear a 15.5 collar and have 33 inch length arms. A size 42 suit jacket and 30 inch waist. The medium fit me perfectly. I also triedn the Olympia bonneville and the dainese shotgun. Olympia was definitely cut for heavier people with larger waists. The dainese was perfect, slightly tighter than the air, but I couldn't justify the cost. I love the adjustable collar on the air. Fits my chicken nek. Comfort gors here as well.
Protection: feels solid. Nice elboand shoulde armor. I wish it had more on the back or could ft the sastec. modification
Yes, I recommend this product.

Along with a helmet, this was the other piece of safety equipment that I purchased for the MSF course. Sub-75 dollars this is little out there that seems to be as well constructed and stylish without screaming attention to them.
Construction: leather all the way around, even in between the fingers. I wish it had a little more padding on the palms and wrists, but I suppose these are summer gloves and that would ruin the airflow.
Style: I liked how there is hard knuckle protection, but it is not exposed with carbon fiber as is typical to racing inspired gloves.
Sizing: I wear small marmot ski gloves for skiing during the winter. I would consider my hands to be small. The gloves I purchased were a medium, they fit my hand quite well, but still snug. I am waiting for them to break in. I did have some tightness on the first ride and I know the will loosen as they get broken in. All this being said, they probably run a size small.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Protection Autonomous knee protector with support straps Homologation Knee and shin EN 1621-1 Comes in pairs Patent Chest and neck protector (Community Designs n 000528153) Biomechanical protector (PCT Patent Peding)
How do these fit with full size boots?
I have the Dainese Race Torque Outs and I am wondering how the shin protection area will fit with the boots. How long is the protector from the top to bottom? Is the top strap above the knee as well?

I know the Race outs are to tuck in pants, but can you were them under jeans.
I have skinny calfs, can the race out fit my calf will under jeans?
Yes, the boots has external velco-adjustable wings. I wear them under my tapered textile pants and do not forsee any issues with wearing them under jeans unless you are wearing skinny jeans.
