I love the helmet. It's light and keeps my head warm. I can actually wear it without my balaclava. As for the goggles I have found that my Spy goggles fit and seal better than my Scott's. I am hoping to try the new 509s this weekend. Both the Aviator and the Sinister styles. The only thing I have an issue with is the removeable helmet cam visor piece. The little tabs keep cracking and then my visor moves. I ended up chaulking the piece onto the spare visor and giving that a shot. So far so good. It really is a great idea but needs some revision. I went ahead and stuck the helmet cam piece that GoPro provides on the helmet. I also cut the loops off and installed a qwik connect on the chin strap. But I do that with every helmet I own.
My gloves. I have the WOTs and the Valkyries. I have only worn the Valkries once but I am wearing the WOTs daily. I have no issues whatsoever with these. They work very well and my hands stay warm and dry. The Sno Seal really helps keep the leather from becoming saturated with moisture. I like this year's model better than last year's.
My boots. Holding up better than expected with the Airframes and the aggressivness of the traction studs. I have been in creeks, deep snow, dry snow and wet snow. My feet have not gotten wet yet. Toasty warm with no sweaty, stinky socks at the day's end. The ONLY time my feet got wet was when I was digging someone out and I "post-holed" into the snow and the gators on the bibs came up and over the boot. Motorfist solved that problem by sending me some loops that I sewed onto my gators that go around the laces and snap back together. Works awesome now.
The outerwear is awesome. Light, warm and you can move without feeling restricted. Even with my TekVest.
I cannot rate the base layers as I don't have any, I have to use the base layering I already have and it's not MF gear. It is good stuff though.
I'd really like to thank MotorFist, MFGuy and Justin Stevens at Motorfist for hooking me up with the boots, gloves, hoody, t-shirt, jersey and the helmet. Whether ot not I paid for the gear, I love it. It is my only gear. And I can swear to that. I am not singing a song for them and then riding with Klim or HMK gear. I am being very sincere and honest in my reviews. I'd love to be able to try the rest of the stuff because they really are one of the best out there and their customer service is HANDS DOWN the best. I hope that they can give me the opportunity to try out the rest of the equipment. And I really hope that they create some dirt gear that rivals the Dakar gear. *hint hint* I'd love to be the test dummy for that.
