I banged up my original visor so I needed a replacement. The slight tint is definitely an improvement but for just a visor, the cost is way too high.

So far so good. They're really excellent although I noticed if you wear them without liners there are some fibers that an stick you in the leg a bitn- I'm assuming they'll wear down over time. My only gripe is one of a minor inconvenience due to the sizing being way off. I measured myself multiple times and fell perfectly well *within* the XL size range [not the edge!] When I got the XL's I could barely (and I mean barely) get them on and they were tight tight tight! I switched out to 2XL and they're darn near perfect now.
I did the same with the jacket [although I ordered 2XL off the bat thanks to a comment from another reviewer]. Both are about as good a fit as I could ask for.

I've worn them in weather from 38 or so to the 70s and in rain - they've been spectacular.

Fit is darn near perfect (definitely with a slightly thicker sock). I can't speak for how they are in the summer, but in temps from 38 through the 70s they've been awesome so far. They've also been through a fair bit of rain and they've been perfect.
I haven't really found them to be stiff at all. One one foot after they've sat for a little while it seems to be slightly stiff where the shin piece bends at the ankle - everything loosens up very quickly though.
In the summer I'm assuming they'll be somewhat hot but they should still breath well enough because of the goretex. I have another pair of goretex boots that I wore through high 90s and I never had an issue with them so I'm assuming these will be similar.

I haven't tried the intercom features yet, but I finally have *fantastic* support for using my iphone to listen to music and receive/place calls while riding.
The iPhone's voice control is accessible with one button press [call xxxx, shuffle, play album xxxx, etc.]. All control is a cinch even with thick glovesn- volume control, changing tracks, receiving/disconnecting calls...
The voice quality is *superb* for people I call. Even at speed they've all been really surprised I was riding. They even said I sounded clearer than my usual built-in in-car handsfree calls.

Definite recommend for this unit. I bought a different 'back' for the unit so I could use my BigGear custom molded stereo earplugs [Revzilla doesn't stock the different backs though :(].

How hard to get back on when wet/sweaty?
Some of my gloves once they get sweaty or wet are almost impossible to get back on quickly or 'cleanly' because of their inner liners.
What are these like in that regard? Anyone have enough experience with them to say?
