I had considered a flip up helmet, and tried on the neotec at the bike show. It felt great, like a Shoei does for me, and he gave me a price of $486 OTD. I almost bought it, that was before I heard about the Gt air. I have an x-11, so a neotec would be a good addition for the group rides. I still have an unfounded fear, that in the event of a crash, that it might pop up. I'm sure that they have tested that extensively though and it's not an issue.

I've been looking for a good dual sport jacket as well. My problem with fit is that I'm 6'2" but most of it is in my torso so most jackets/shirts are short on length for me. As such, I usually have to get a long size or a 3/4 length.
I was thinking of a Olympia Moab Air or Firstgear Jaunt T2. The Olympia looks like it would be cooler in the summer but it's hard to tell. Anyone have experience with either?

Check out the Nomad or X Moto line as well. These are similar to the Moab but can completely seal up to solid shell for colder riding. Then vent back up for warmer riding and then full on chest/back/underarm mesh for those stupid hot Ohio summers. My kit is the Nomad and X Moto pants and I couldn't be happier. I go from Cold weather to hot & back to cold on rides with ease. And its hard to match Olympia's build quality and use of genuine Cordura in the price line they offer. IMO the only competition is Rev-It and Klim and those price lines are a bit higher. If you have the budget check out some of their nice options. |

I'd rather pay less than more and the vast majority of my riding will be warm weather. I actually have a decent cold weather TourMaster jacket for the road that would work well for DS'ing. I'm also looking now at the A* Cape Town jacket but I know their stuff tends to run a little small.

I really liked the First Gear Teton Jacket and whatever the corresponding pants are. The 3/4 version of that jacket should be really good as well.
