I looked at a lot of options but chose the Solare vented pants because they did not have the built in waterproof/insulated liner that many other brands offer as a feature. I have found that pants with this feature are heavier with the liner in and bulky when the liner is removed. I prefer a waterproof over pant on wet days. On my previous vented pants with the built in waterproof liner, when the mesh gets wet it takes a while to dry, leaving them heavy and cool (water conducts heat from the body 25x faster than air). For added warmth on cool days, I already own a wind resistant skintight base layer that I use for skiing. This way I get all of my needs covered with the smart trimmer fitting, well vented, comfortable and protective Solare pant.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I am 40 chest, so ordered the Med which according to the fit chart is good for 44-45. It is way too tight for me and the sleeves are shorter than I would have expected. I will need at least a Large, especially if I wear my Gore Windstopper jacket underneath on cooler days.
I'll send a full report once I have the correct size, this seems to be a good jacket for a great price.
The Solare Mesh pant did fit according to the sizing chart.

I can't find my size in the AGV Sport size chart.
I am interested in the agv sport solare jacket. The problem is to choose the correct size in relation to the men's textile size agv chart.
I measure 41inch chest and 30 inch sleeve which not correspond to any size available.
What can I do ? Can you help me ?
Gracias. (is there anybody who speaks spanish?)

Hi,
the AGV site has size recommendations. I am a 40" chest so went by their recommendation and ordered a medium. It is way small in the chest and arm length, so I replaced it with a large. Fits more the way I would expect.
