I got the CR suit because I wanted to get into track days. I contacted Revzilla's customer service and they were a huge help in sizing the suit for me - it fits me like a glove! I bought a size small and am 5' 11" 160lbs w/ a 40" chest.
The style of the suit is great (and the crotch thing isn't all that prominent in real life, despite what stock photos may show).
Air flow seems pretty good riding on the street, and I imagine is much better at a track pace.
The only thing that was a little disappointing is that there is not a standard back protector - you need to get the alpinestars bionic back protector to snap in to the inside of the suit (next on my list).
The GM68 features GMAX's Patented L.E.D. light on the rear of the helmet, which is incorporated into rear vent and has different easy to use light settings 19 vents for state of the art venting. 9 intake vents and 10 large exhaust vents to get the hot air out High air flow top intake vents feature larger controls for easy use with gloved hands Lightweight, multiple shells and styros for GMAX premium fit DOT approved, lightweight thermo-poly alloy shell with quality clear coat finish Plush, removable, washable Coolmax interior Interior designed for noise reduction with noise reduction cheek pads,vented chin curtain and rear neck roll Anti-scratch optically corrected shield with easy tool-less removal Molded front air deflector directs hot breath air away from shield to reduce fogging and the adjustable chin vent directs fresh air upward across the inside of the inside of shield to help reduce fogging Note Includes platinum tint shield and deluxe helmet bag with shield pocket
I was fitted previously for a Gmax Crusader helmet so I got a medium in this as well. It fitted just fine, especially once I broke the helmet in.
A lot of people have commented on the helmet being loud - I will say that with properly fit ear protection (I use foam plugs, 33dB NRR) the helmet is quite comfortable to ride.
As others have said, optical clarity is excellent. The face shields are made extremely well (of the two helmets I've owned) this is definitely the better of the two.
Sometimes the little cloth piece under the chin can get in the way, which is a bit annoying. Otherwise the helmet is a pretty great value, and the included tinted face shield is a nice touch.
