Very very satisfied with these. Does not have the THERMONUCLEAR warmth the write-ups suggest but at 50* at 90mph (no i didn't say 90 officer) jeans and long sleeve-t  underneath very comfortable almost cozy. I got sizes recommended by new enough and the chart, fit well don't think i have room for a heavy sweater under jacket,  but then you don't want it flapping in the wind either.
all in all i give it an eight but i cant dance to it. [thumbsup]

and yes i made sure to donate to the DMF @ newenough
