Got the gear....
Helmet is a little snug, even at a XXL. Feels light and comes with an extra visor and a bitchin hemet bag. Tip-Top quality.
The jacket is over the top. The fit and construction is fantastic. Has zippered vents, pockets, and detatchable sleeves. I'm might order another one for casual wear. Its a nice piece.
The pants are what I know from riding with Jay. Lots of pockets and vents. Cool shit.
The gloves are odd. Feel crappy when you first put them on, then you realize that they are cut and sewn together to fit correctly when your hands are holding a grip. Once you make your hand into this position, the gloves "disappear". I like em!!!
All in all, and while expensive, this stuff appers to be worth every penny.
Thanks for the tip Jay.

All my Klim gear is awesome!!! Really warm when its cold out, really cool when its warm out.... just adjust the ventilation as needed.
Whats not super bitchin is the helmet. Even with the visor all the way down it dosent do shit for the afternoon sun, and it catches LOTS of air on the freeway.
I am going to make an extension to lower the visor some more to see if its a workable situation.

Its no biggie, I like the fit, the field of vision, and lightness.... I just gotta get the visor down a little more.
I wrote Klim, and told them my experience
The rest of my stuff ROCKS!!!
