Everything you want and need in a glove. Great build quality and materials. Fits great and provides adequate protection. Good feel on the controls too, but not good in cold weather.

I love this glove. Its fits perfect! Airflow is ok and the padding on the palm is good enough. For what you are buying this is a bang for your buck. So impressed I bought another pair in a different color. I got the "White" ones (BLACK with white accents) originally and now I'm waiting for the White/Red color! SWEET GLOVES!

This is a very light protection riding shoe/boot. Its extremely light in protection but has it in all the right places. My personal experience tells me this shoe is hot due to materials and the way my bike vents its heat (directly to my feet). But i love to wear these since they provide great, comfort and style.

Dainese Newater Leather Jacket Strong character, muscular design, and elevated technical content are the essence of the naked bike. So rich in attraction and with horsepower to burn along a winding road or cruising past your favorite club. The Newater jacket is inspired by the same, with its decisive technical style, shiny horsehide, and precise details all combined with elevated technical content. Including removable composite protectors and a 3D Bubble Liner, this jacket is distinguished by its excellent ergonomics in the saddle, S1 elasticated fabric inserts, neck and side adjustments and a jacket-trousers fastening system. Features Horsehide leather S1 fabric Inserts in elasticated fabric Neck adjustment Waist adjustment Jacket-trousers fastening system Removable composite protectors certified to Standard EN 1621.1/97 Pocket for G1 and G2 back protector 2 outside pockets Internal pocket

very nice jacket, made from great materials and a really nice fit. Remember its not a sports bike jacket, its meant for nakeds and a little more straight up riding position. I ride a CBR1000RR and the sleeves aren't as long as I would like when I'm in riding position, but the jacket isn't made for an aggressive position.

I am a large fit man at 5'11 and 210 lbs. I wear size 54 and if fits like a glove. I live in San Diego where it can get pretty hot in traffic in the summer and really chilly at highway speeds in the winter. This jacket does spring, summer and fall really well with the appropriate layering for the cooler months, of course. The leather is soft and it smells great. I haven't been able to test it during winter since I've been deployed this past two winters, but I expect it not to be insulating enough for a Southern California winter, other than that its perfect!
I have used it in the Nevada desert in the middle of summer and it wasn't horrible. Again, wearing the right layering and/or undergarment (in this case, a dry fit t-shirt for the desert).

Arai RX-Q Helmet - Solid Colors Designed for the street without giving up the benefits of a racing helmet. Completely new helmet based on Corsair V shell Same wider eyeport opening as Corsair V Same face shield as the Corsair V Intermediate Oval Fit (same head shape as Quantum 2) Slightly different feel due to new cheek pads. New cheek pads come down further and cradle the head better. Made of a different density material which results in an extremely comfortable and quiet helmet Advanced ventilation Smaller, More Aerodynamic shell shape Hyper-Ridge circles lower shell to improve strength and aerodynamics Retractable chin spoiler Emergency Cheek Pad Removal system along with removable neck roll One piece bottom edge trim Race helmet for the street 5 unique size shells (XS, S, M/L, XL, XXL). Weight 1597 grams (3 lbs. 8-1/4 oz) Meets or exceeds SNELL M2010 and DOT specifications NOTES The Pearl Black color listed for this product has a very subtle metallic flake whereas the Diamond Black color has a more pronounced metallic. Also, helmet does not ship with the Pinlock face shield as shown. Pinlock face shield available as an accessory.

If you want the overall best helmet for the street, this is it. I've had my RX-Q for 5500 miles, from the desert in NV to the chilly nights in San Francisco. Ventilation is more than ideal for any circumstance, whether you want heavy air flow or just enough air for your visor not to fog up on a cold day.
Noise isn't bad and it's very comfortable. Very adjustable with the cheek thickness selections. I have a black RX-Q with a clear and tinted visor and thats all ill ever need.

Dainese 2 Stroke Gloves Modern and refined style, but also practicality and comfort, all distinguish this glove wirh carbon fibre inserts and pad on the knuckles, conceived for summer tourism. Neoprene cuff, pre-curved fingers and researched ergonomics ensure luxurious comfort during riding thanks as well to the ventilation granted by fabric mesh inserts on the back and perforation on the palm and at the sides of the fingers. Attention to detail, like the natural finish of the cowhide on the reinforced palm and the double reinforcement on the little finger complete the gloves features. Features Carbon fibre inserts on the knuckles, ring finger, and little finger Cowhide leather Stone PU Reinforced palm Adjustable cuff strap Neoprene cuff Pre-curved finger Perforated mesh fabric on the back of the hand Perforated palm Perforation on inner side of finger Soft inserts

I ride a 2011 speed triple, measure 5'11, 200 lbs, and got the black/white option.
At first glance after putting on the gloves for the first time I wasnt to happy. I didnt like some of the slack on some parts and some of the tighness on others. I wear Oakley Pilot gloves and Triumph (AlpineStars) Portland gloves. There are things about both of those gloves that I really like, such as the dexterity and flexibility with the oakleys (textile), and protection and confort (padding) of the Portlands (all around leather). This Dianese has it all. I went out for a 1 1/2 hour ride and was extremly satisfied with the glove. It has a great feel, great ventilation, and they give a good feeling of protection. Im very happy with these.

Is the paint on the Black version Matte Black or Gloss Black?
I'm looking at getting the black version of this helmet. Do you have one on hand that you can look at and let me know if the paint is a matte finish or gloss? Thanks!
they have both gloss (diamond black and pearl black) and a matte version (frost black). I believe the diamond black has metallic flakes and they really come out in the sun (thats the one I own).

5'11 32 waist 200lbs 17' in arms
I'm 5'11 32 waist 200lbs but I have 17' in arms which usually seem to not fit most slim-fit jackets. Which size Alpinestars jacket should I wear?
I am 5'11 and 210 lbs. I fit a size 54. I don't know the length of my arms but it works just fine for me. Theres room for a belly in there if you have one, or broad shoulders (in my case).
