I ordered your Cortech GX Sport Series 2 Jacket and HJC CL-15 Helmet about a month ago and I've been very pleased. I'm a tall, skinny guy so tall size jacket was a must. I am very pleased with the fit on the Cortech jacket (I ordered a Large-Tall and normally wear near a 44L), the arms are just the right length while staying narrow in the torso. The back extends down a little to give some additional coverage while leaning forward on the bike and enough adjustments are available to keep the armor where it should be. I've been riding in 90+°F, ventilation is decent as long as you're moving regularly, but you'll likely be warm if you do a lot of stop and go city riding in the summer, but its not bad enough for me to really complain about. Overall quality is very good asides from a few errant strings, particularly in the pockets. My head measured about a 7-1/4 and I'd say its closest to an oval shape. I ordered a size large and it fits pretty well, an XL would have definitely been too big so I'd say its true to size. My complaints about the helmet are that the plastic snap to keep the strap from flapping in the wind broke off after only 1 week, the visor is a little too flimsy for the force it takes to get to the first detent, and my chin is quite close to touching the interior. Overall finish is very good though and ventilation is decent, nothing amazing but certainly not poor. Mostly minor quibbles, would buy again. Thanks NewEnough!!
