Hi, thank you for the question. So far I have been dry underneath. But the thing is that when the rain is very strong and the gear is really wet, I feel the cold through the gear as a wind chill. So I find myself still wearing the rain covers when it poors down or when I know that I have to ride long time in the rain, just to be more warm. Otherwise so far no problems and shorter periods of rain are ok to ride- the gear is not absorbing so much water (laminated) as traditional multi layer garments.
Hello and thank you for the question. The vents on the sleeve work OK in my opinion. Under the mesh fabric of the vent, there is layer of polyester fabric and therefore it is hard to say how well the vent works as there is no feeling of air movement in the sleeve. However, I have never had a situation where my arms are hot or sweating. If the vent is opened, then it stays open as the vent panel has a V shape and the zipper can not close by itself against the larger end of the vent and also the zipper is water resistant type with rubberized sides, so it can not close by itself. If the vent is fully open and the sleeve tightness adjuster on the upper part of the sleeve is adjusted tight then there is less venting, if loose, then more venting.
Hello, thank you for the question. For me personally if the temperature is above 20 C, I take the thermal liner out. 25 C and above vents open and it is OK to ride. I have no experience above 30 C.
I have a L size, I am 5"11/6.00, chest 42.5, size allows without liner to wear a t-shirt, a thermal jacket, an airbag and stay confortable. Pro: construction, material, waterproofness, comfort. Cons: no back pocket, no pocket on left sleeve, really annoying snap buttons on sleeves instead of velcro, almost impossible to adjust while riding. Vent opening sliders in front impossible to manipulate with gloves. Collar system do not stay closed, magnet is a joke, snap button is annoying to close and might pop. Thermal liner is so-so and should be replaced by a primaloft kind of light jacket.
i only bought the pants with Scott suspenders and they are just awesome. Look and feel great.
Very thorough review. Just one question:: Are you 100% dry when you ride in the rain?

Thank you for the video and review. Does the openings in the sleeves vent well if left full open? And do they remain open when you ride?

Thank you for your review.
Did you use it in summer time? Over 30 C without termal liner does the vents do the job?
