I can say my Klim stuff outperforms the my old bibs and columbia jacket. I don't think you can go wrong with klim. I only have one gripe about my togwotee bibs. The zipper down the leg is up in your armpit so you have to open your coat to get into your pants pockets. I am sure it has its advantages from a sealing stand point, but it can be a bit of a hassle....minor point tho.
The nicest thing I like about my Klim getup is the fact it's so thin. Easy to move around in. You wouldn't really think there's much warmth with how thin it actually is, but works very well...and I'm on the prairies where it gets down below -40C withthe wind pretty regularily!
Bought an F4 helmet this year...see how that fares
You guys need to check out the Scott gear. I rode their gear last year and loved it. The website is scottusa.com Let me know if you guys want to order anything and I can set it up. Klim makes nice stuff yes, but when you can buy comparable gear for half the price. Its kind of a no brainer.
