Shoei RF-1100 Helmet - Solid Colors SHOEI is proud to introduce the all-new RF-1100 Helmet, which is built on the strongest pedigree in the motorcycle helmet business. The Shoei RF-1000 Helmet has enjoyed great success since its 2003 inception, but that didnt stop SHOEIs world-class development team from throwing out the molds to build a brand-new helmet from scratch. Combining dealer and customer requests with advanced technology, modern testing practices, and fifty years of helmet-building experience, SHOEI delivers the finest sport-touring helmet that money can buy.

I live in Texas, so it is pretty hot. This helmet has great airflow. You pay a premium for good airflow with full faced helmets, but it is worth in IMHO. The airflow is also designed to take care of any fogging on the visor that may start. I only have a problem with fogging when I am stopped, but I just open the visor and no more fogging. The visor can adjust a little, so you can seal up any whistling that may develop. My helmet has a fair amount of windnoise. It is better than not having a helmet, but there are quieter helmets out there. Other than that, this is a great piece of equipment, one that I will get again. You can turn your head without the wind catching the helmet, so the aerodynamics are spot on.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I live in Texas, so it gets plenty hot. This jacket flows so well it feels like you are wearing a t-shirt. It seems a little heavy until you put it on, but then it is comfortable. Plenty of adjustments, I am 5'10", 180lb and a medium is a perfect fit. There is a waterproof/thermal liner which is ok. It acts more like a windbreak than a rain liner (leaks at the zipper). The liner doesn't breathe at all- which is great for 40-70 weather. Hotter than that, then you don't need it unless it is sprinkling. I can layer under it, wearing a hoodie to make the 35-45 degree days more bearable. All in all, the best all around jacket out there.
Yes, I recommend this product.

REV'IT! Pacific H2O Rain Suit In developing the PACIFIC H20 rain suit, one of the main goals was to make it easy to put on in just a few seconds about the time it takes you to get soaked during a heavy shower. Mission accomplished. The solution lies not only in the long, diagonal front closure, but especially in the newly developed, non-stick, PVC-free coating on the inside of the Power Nylon outer shell. The result is a 100 waterproof, breathable, and very practical all-weather companion that will meet the demands of any rider. Convenient features include a storage pocket on the upper leg. For safety, reflection panels on the shoulders and lower legs ensure great visibility. If you need to stand out in traffic even more, the PACIFIC H2O comes in a high-visibility neon yellow option. PROTECTION FEATURES Outer shell PVC-free PWROxford with PU coating, PVC-free PWROxford EN471 with PU coating (in Neon Yellow color only) Waterproofing 100 waterproof Composition 100 polyester (100 polyurethane coating) Visibility reflection at shoulders and legs, reflective logo at chest and back ERGONOMIC FEATURES Fit tour fit, regular Adjustability adjustment tabs at upper arm, cuffs and ankles Features PVC-free XL front zipper Elastic at waistline Includes transport bag Stash pocket on left leg EN343 certified
 

Can the leg material contact hot pipes without compromising the suit integrity?

Lots of rain suits are great, but the leg will disintegrate when it touches a hot pipe. Just want to know what I would be getting.
