Talking My new Helmet & jacket

I did one thread already, But it had a bad title so we'll give it another try.
I got this sweet Dainese jacket from Iron-Pony for $130 less than anybody else had it.
$379.00 to my door. It was $499 everywhere else.

In a full tuck my eyes are just under it, Otherwise I have to look up to see it.
I put that strip on there to keep the sun out of my eyes on long rides home @ the end of the day.
Going west the setting sun is right in my vision, This works very well.
I did the same to my last helmet.

The visor is 3mm thick, they say its the thickest on the market & its very clear.
This is the lightest & quietest helmet Iv had.

Now Iv got to atmit to cheating just a bit here, LOL
The pants you see there are A-stars track pants, Iv had Dainese pants,
But they never fit as good or worked as good as the A-stars.
The A-stars "track pants" are the best on the market. (IMOP)
I tuck the pucks off my old Dainese pants & stuck em on the A-stars.
I swap back (when I don't forget) when I use my A-stars jacket.

That song, word for word is me to you, Except the lying next to me bit.
There's this matter of a pond betwixt us

nice find. Always nice saving money.
Bought all my Dainese jackets online and save about $300 per jacket.
