I ware this jack everyday... around town, on the slopes and for my commute to work. Plenty of great pockets in and out.
My commute involves a half-hour snowmobile ride up Mt. Mansfield, Highest peak in VT. On days like today with temps of -20°F winds gusting 50Mph that makes for -60°F wind-chill. This jacket keeps me nice and cozy. Nothing fancy on underneath just a button up cotton shirt and light weight poly fleece.
Recently I rolled a sled going some where in the order of 15-20Mph, I slid for 10-15 Ft... this jacket still looks new!

Recently I roiled a sled going some where in the order of 15-20Mph, I slid for 10-15 Ft... these bibs still look brand new!
The integrated gators are great when trudging through 40" of powder off the side of the trail! No snow in my boots. Full length zips on the legs means I can get in/out of the bibs with-out taking off my boots.

I use them while skiing as well, I push my limits and fall a lot... so far so good.

Part of my commute involves a half-hour snowmobile ride up Mt. Mansfield, Highest peak in VT. On days like today with temps of -20°F winds gusting 50Mph that makes for -60°F Wind-chill, this glove comes in handy. On days like today you will still feel the cold but it's bearable. These Gloves excel at 0°F and up.
When I have to expose my hands to the elements where they get wet/cold all it takes is five minutes after putting them back in these gloves to have them warm and dry again, gore-tex works!
I use them while skiing as well, they are great when shoveling snow too! I use them when I wash down the car to get off the salt with a rag and hose, hands stay warm and dry.

Sidi Adventure GTX Boots Based on the outstanding success of the Sidi Adventure Rain Boots , it has been decided that the full Gore-Tex version of the boot will be imported from Italy. Previously this boot was only available in Europe. This ultimate adventure boot combines the best of both worlds (offroad and touring) into a boot that is extremely protective as well as comfortable both on and off the bike. With the Gore-Tex membrane these boots are 100 waterproof as well being highly breathable. These boots come with the Gore-Tex Guaranteed to Keep You Dry promise. Soft rubber sole for maximum grip. Replaceable strap system. Top grain leather construction. Composite inner sole. Removable arch support. Exclusive cam-lock buckle system. Cambrelle lining. Slim, cool non-bootie design. Rigid, shock resistant, anatomically shaped heel for maximum protection. Split grain leather inner anti-wear/heat panel. Single Flex System upper.

Put you feet in these boots, They rock!
Eight hours out in a cool mid November rainy day with the guys and my feet were comfortable and dry all day. No hesitation to trudge through water-crossings.
Kicked up a rogue foot long 2x4 on a dirt road, toes stung like H-E-double-hockey-stick for an hour or so but they didn't break, I credit these boots to saving my stride!

I've spent about 120 hours in the new Evo,Hi-Viz, I feel the Hi-Viz gets me noticed for all the right reasons. In that time I have been in 85°F+ heat, but nothing below 50°F, and have remained comfortable with the airflow.
An issue with airflow is road crud has a knack for being funneled up into the helmet from the neck hole. The crud ends up in my eyes.
I am able to go two hours in the rain before the visor begins to fog, I end up having to part the visor to clear the lens, I am hesitant to use any anti-fog as the sticker warns no to, could upset the factory coating.
With all vents closed and the visor shut I still get a large amount of H2O finding it's way in and on my face, it is large "drops" so I think it collects and then reaches critical mass to let go.
The lens has scratched very easily, my previous Bell that I had for two years has minimal damage compared.
I love the built in sun visor, and the ability to flip up when stopped, as opposed to taking off the whole helmet. The mechanism for this has taken a little bit to "break-in". I still have issues getting it closed and I am forced to use both hands, and confirm secure seal before I ride. I did not have any of these problems with other modular helmets of different brands.
My chin easily rubs on the material in place to reduce hostile airflow that rides up through the neck hole, this is an daily annoyance but can be lived with if you rock a biker stash. I have wondered how my chin would hold up if I took a digger and that section of the helmet took the most abuse, their is not a lot a protective material between your chin and the world.
All in all it works for the price and I feel safe in Bells hands. If I were to do it all again I would keep saving my pennies for the next price bracket of modular helmets

AGV Diesel Hi-Jack Helmet The Italian jeans company Diesel has teamed up with Italian helmet manufacturer AGV to produce a line of designer helmets. Diesel takes the helmet company in a different direction to their typical racing fare. The helicopter pilot style Hi-Jack helmet is dedicated to fans of customized equipment and riders who love life on the road while wishing to remain in line with the unconventional Diesel style. The attractive look, the range of chromatic variations in the graphics, and the unmistakable curve at the sides develop the aeronautic design that inspires the Hi-Jack helmet even further. The helmet is completed by the concealable visors in different tints that let the helmet be adapted to the needs and style of each and every rider and make his or her look even more decisive and rebellious. The Diesel Hi-Jack was inspired from the world of helicopter pilots, it is intended to those who want an original helmet that does not remain unnoticed. The seductive look, the graphic colors, and the side curved parts accentuate the new aerospace design that inspired that helmet. This helmet features a retractable face shield, also available in smoke and irridium silver versions, which allows to adapt its usage to the motorcyclist style and requirements. Features Shell Fibreglass ACF Number of shells 2 Fabrics Dri-Lex with hygenic treatment Internal padding Removable and washable Visor ISV2 Anti-scratch Visor Multi-position, retractable shield tucks away into shell Visor mechanism Visor removal and replacement in a few seconds without the use of tools Retention ststem Micro-metric adjustment buckle Note Helmet ships with clear faceshield only.
Does it come with a second tinted shield?
On Disel's site it shows both and doesn't say extra. I could see it going either way, let me know what is in the box. (sky78 version)
Thank you!
Adam
Thank you!

It has a internal tinted shield that is easy to raise or lower while riding. The tinted shield is fixed to the helmet, if the face is opened the tint is still covering your eyes. On the exterior it comes with a clear shield that is treated with anti-fog agent. Exterior shield removal/replacement is super easy, their are additional options available to order that apply additional tinting.
