I can also tell you now that its cool weather performance is good as well. It was around 42 degrees this morning and I rode to work today, 50 miles, most of it at 70+mph. With the vents closed and the liner in, my arms and torso were nice a comfy. My legs and my neck got a little chilled though. I didn't really think about it when I left this morning but 42 at 70mph is a lot colder than 42 and sitting still. If I had to do it again I'd leave earlier and take the back roads to keep the speed around 45 or so. Anyway, it made up for not getting to ride much this weekend. The weather was awesome but I had my little grandson, age 5,  visiting from out of state so I stayed close to home.
