Good coat , needs some improvements
I have had the coat and pants for a year now, so feel I can provide an opinion. Overall the coat is nice fits me well (6,3" 200 lbs) sizes was accurate and I like the longer leg option on the pants that fit according to size. Rating this as a middle price point gear. .
Jacket: As mentioned if fits well and doesn't catch the wind and flutter at speed and allows good mobility for when you are offroad and moving around more. This is a good three season shell if you have a insulating coat to wear underneath in the cooler months. Some annoying things. There is a elastic tab on the collar that has a hard plastic grab on it for adjusting the collar. Nice to have but the hard plastic tab flaps in the wind and hits the back of the helmet, very irritating. The pockets have zippers that close when pulled up. It is better to have them pull down to close. If you forget a pocket open you can pull down against the hang of the coat. With the pull up to close you lift your coat and require two hands to zip the pocket closed. Nit picky I know , but thought I would mention it.
Pants Love them good size for me, not too baggy not too tight. The only thing I am not keen on is the buttons to do them up at the waist, . they tend to pop open when you sit or move. I would go to a clasp type closure as they don't pop open
My two bits worth , a definite 4 stars 5 with the improvements

Good ADV jacket to keep wind and moisture out
I'm 6 feet, 170 pounds and purchased the Medium. Fit is good. I have taken the pads out and use MX style protection under the jacket.

Bon rapport qualité/prix
Très satisfait de mon achat!
Mes mensurations étaient dans la section XL mais je l’ai échangé pour un 2XL. Il était « fit » comme un jacket d’été et il aurait été serré avec un chandail chaud à l’automne… les mesures ne tiennent pas cela en considération. Je recommande de prendre une grandeur plus grande à moins que vos mensurations soient sur la borne inférieure des catégories… moi j’étais proche de la borne supérieure.
Je voulais un jacket en Gore-Tex et pour le prix je suis content.
Et il n’y a pas de padding dans le dos. Vendu séparément.
