I've had the helmet for a season now, after I just couldn't stand my old one anymore.
I have a small, hard to fit head, Shoie's have always felt terrible, but this helmet fits like a dream.
I can take it on and off with my glasses on, the controls for the visor are convenient, although the internal sun visor mounting is a little flimsy and I have to double check after detaching for cleaning.
By far the most comfortable and quietest helmet I've ever owned. It is made for a more upright position than I normally sit in, and there is more noise when I'm leaned over the tank, but still better than any other helmet I've owned.
Anti-fog works well, but replacement visors and fog screen are expensive.
If you can afford it go for it, but I have hard time saying it's a great value, but you do get what you pay for with this.

I've had them about a week. They came in 2 days before I was take a weekend trip on my duc.
So I had about 2 hours of riding time, and wearing them around the house for 1 day, before taking them for 16+ hours of riding over 3 days. Didn't get a blister, or even much in the way of hot spots. I was very impressed with the fit and comfort.
These are the first dedicated motorcycle boots I've ever bought since I had never found any that weren't horribly uncomfortable. The inner lining and the way it laces are absolutely key. They make the same boot with traditional laces for a hundred bucks less - but those hundred bucks were very very worth it on my last trip.
While they are supposed to be over boots, they tuck under all pairs of jeans I have, and I'm pretty skinny - so if you want good protection for your feet, but still riding casual (or with kevlar jeans) they should fit under your pants.They're not as storm trooperish as some boots, but the stainless toe sliders kind of scream I'm wearing motorcycle boots.

So, first off, I am short and slim, so have a hard time finding jackets, or any gear for that matter.
The jacket fits a little snug, which is perfect for me, and I am very happy with where the armor hits on my shoulders and elbows, really quite comfortable. Since I almost always ride with a backpack, I didn't get a back protector, but I may upgrade in the future.
The mesh is great once you get above 15mph even on 90 degree baking days. But this is a pure summer jacket - very good airflow across the chest and back, even with my backpack on. I've found myself wearing a long sleeve shirt for early morning rides, and peeling it off once the day warms up.
Two minor complaints - the arms could have better venting, particularly with the armor, my arms get warmer than my old jacket. Also an inside pocket, or someplace I could store my phone (I use it as GPS) and run my headphones into my helmet would be nice But it does work well by running the cables under the neck snap .
Overall good jacket, a bit pricey for the features, but that's Dainese in general. Looks and feels great.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Alpinestars Axiom Denim Pants Developed to offer substantial protection over traditional blue jeans, these pants are constructed of comfortable abrasion and tear resistant cotton denim with strong main seam construction and internal Kevlar reinforcements in knees and seat Traditional 5 pocket design with two rear pockets, two hand pockets and a front coin pocket Slightly articulated knee with internal pockets Expansion gusset in lower leg for easy exit / entry with zip and Velcro closure. Zipper ends prior to hem to allow for custom sizing City Collection exclusive details include embroidered Astar logo, embroidered Astar labels, perforated leather Alpinestars label at belt line Sizing Note In RevZilla's experience these pants run small, if in doubt order a size larger then you normally would. As always sizing is difficult and in no way can RevZilla guarantee fitment
 

Are there Knee armor inserts that work with these jeans?
