The gloves are great. I had terrible trouble with my hands and lower arms being numb for days after a long ride until these gloves. Only problem-- measurements in the size chart a bit lax. this is my first pair of gloves, so maybe I'm being finicky. But after a few hundred miles, I expect my thumbs to comfortably move whereever they want to move. This is not necessarily an option in these gloves-- however-- no more numbness or pain! your call on the stiff grip.

As the previous reviewer noted, the shorts are indeed quite short and the split does go all the way up to the hem. This is great for range of motion, but it does require a degree of shamelessness on hills, during stretches, etc. The fabric is whisper soft, and in concert with the split, duplicates running in your most comfortable pair of underwear minus the upper-upper thigh chafe. I agree with the previous reviewer's comments about the minimum velcro protection on the two back gel pockets and may add a small piece of stick-on velcro myself for added peace of mind. Great shorts all in all, though.

The color (blue) is great, and the fabric is so soft it's almost not there at all. Complaint #1: If I wear an underwire bra with this shirt, the point of the bottom of the v-neck cut comes all the way down to the bottom of the bra. This is a layering / wear-with sports bra / around-the-house sweatshirt only. Thankfully I'm small-breasted (halfway between an A and a B) and thus the scandal is minimized, except for . . . Complaint 2: The size chart is for a huge, loose fit if you're looking to wear this piece alone. I followed the chart exactly, with my measurements (31.5 waist, 36 band, 5'10"), and the large which was recommended to me has 4" of excess fabric at the waist and 3" of excess fabric at the upper arms. These are the measurements I took with no tugging of the fabric. Maybe if I wore a wool sweater underneath or gained 10 lb, the shirt would fit as I'd hoped: not tight, but fitted nonetheless. Be warned! The shirt itself is amazing-- the size chart is deathly.
