i just ordered some gear from HELD USA -- the Frontino pants and Cardona jacket. it looks like pretty top quality stuff  -- warm and waterproof with tons of gore-tex and superfabric -- and it's on sale. if it fits well (i'm 6'3'' and 190lbs), i'm going to get rid of my amazingly functional, totally cool looking, and basically new, but slightly too short [bang] bmw rallye 3 suit.

anyone else use HELD clothing?

fyi, i got the gear and  [thumbsup]

best winter gear i've gotten to date -- i have finally put together the perfect commuting/weekend warrior outfit for the cold and crappy northeastern winter:

the pants are so comfortable i sit around the house in them all night after i'm done riding, and they work so well on the bike that i don't get at all cold or wet, don't have to fidget to make them fit right in any different positions (great on my monster and the panigale), and the pittards patch on the ass/crotch means i'm not slipping around even on stock seats.

the jacket is damn near bulletproof with the superfabric from the top of my shoulder all the way down to my wrist, it's fully adjustable everywhere, fully waterproof and warm as hell with the two layers plus i feel protected and comfortable covered in the sas-tec armor.

paired with my dainese axial pro in boots, heroic spr pros and my incredibly awesome and wallet-draining schuberth s2 helmet with the src bluetoth comms system, i feel indestructable on the bikes and am free to focus on what i need to -- the bike and the tires [clap]
