Awesome product- so much help returning the gift that he didn’t like, and ordering the one her wanted!
I am semi-retiring my 6-year old Scorpion EXO AT-950 in favor of a new Scorpion EXO AT-960 because it's the only helmet that has all the features I want and I love the AT-950. The drop-down tinted visor is a must-have. The peak helps to shade the visor. Being modular is a nice convenience, especially for a glasses-wearer. The 960 is aerodynamically improved over the 950 - less wind noise and less tug on the peak. The changes in the vents and user controls are just changes, not quite improvements. Venting may have gone downhill. The 950 venting was average, the 960 is poor. Fit is better in the 960, not as tight on the cheeks as the 950. Overall, the 960 is better than the 950, not that you have a choice since the 950 is discontinued. The features, fit, and price make this helmet my far-and-away first choice. the Hi-viz/Black Topographic colorway is a stunner, looks even better in person.
Great padding around the ankle. I have a wide foot and these fit great.
A benchmark boot lives up to the hype. OK, we know that Gaerne makes a premium motorcycle boot, and the Balance Oiled are, if not their apex offering, pretty darn close to it. It is genuinely hard to describe how beautiful these boots are until you hold them in your hand. Everything about them oozes quality and attention to detail. At the same time, these boots are clean and simple. Everything you need and nothing you don't. Instantly comfortable and the gum rubber sole is awesome on and off the bike. I didn't purchase these for off-road use because they don't offer the requisite level of protection for anything more than a fire road. For me, these are an urban or weekend street boot that feels good, looks good and does everything I need it to. And boy are they a looker. People who know nothing about motorcycling comment on these boots. The consensus is that they are "wicked cool".
The Gaerne Oiled Leather Balance boots are a pretty complete package out of the box, but swapping out the OEM insoles for these babies is a very nice upgrade. Super comfortable and takes an already awesome pair of boots to the next level.
Fit was true to size. Very comfortable so far. Havenot hit any water yet so not sure how waterproof they are. Very happy with the purchase so far. Would recommend them.
You guys are always fair and consistent. Good company to deal with.
