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
Favorite convo i read on this board
"PICS OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN"
"F**K U IT HAPPENED"

Suzuki Blvd M109R " Sliver " = assassinated by cager
PW 696 " Pearl " = traded in
M1100 " Loki " = Viking God of mischief ( Goddess in this case )
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in a pretty pristine body, but rather to come in sliding sideways all used up screaming F*CK YEAH WHAT A RDIE!!
