Love the Jacket/pants/boots, and the service from New Enough is bar-none. I especially applaud you for the in-depth pictures and reviews. Specific comments as follows: First Gear Rush Mesh Jacket: Awesome design, very comfortable. I did add the temperfoam back pad for more protection. The liner does not go all the way around in the front like the Ranier, but that doesn't appear to hinder wind resistance. I haven't tested the waterproof capability yet. The liner does break the wind well, but you may want to add an extra layer on very cold mornings. First Gear HT Air 2 Overpants: Again, great pants for all seasons. The liner is truly waterproof with a water-tight zipper. Easily fits in or over boots. The waist may be a little tight--but the blame doesn't lie with the pants :( I also added the extra armor in the knees and hips, which I recommend. TCX Air Tech Boots: Fantastic boots, they are taking a while to break in, but I just need to ride more! Warm when it's cold, cool when it's warm. HJC Turbine Windlight (not in pic above): Had to modify this to get in on my FS-10 helmet, but it has stayed on, and folks tell me my visibility is great. Worth the $4 if you have a helmet other than the FS-10, I guess.
