As the previous reviewer said, these are great shoes, but they didn't work for me. I've been wearing the KR0s for several years now, size 42. Usually wear a Sidi 42.5. I like my shoes VERY tight and the original KR0s were perfect. However, the EVO model has a new lacing system and the top strap is too long, preventing me from dialing down the Boa to get a snug fit. I actually like the design of this new model - the more robust heel cup and I like the way the new strap would distribute the pressure more broadly, but I just couldn't get the top Boa tight enough. I do have low volume feet so it might not be a problem for others. Just a heads up for people with lower volume feet. It wouldn't surprise me to see DMT revise the design at some point.
I was looking for a jacket that would keep me warm in the 30s and 40s (F.) and this one is more than up to the task. Even with a minimal base layer, it has kept me comfy down to near-freezing temps. I imagine I could wear it into the 20s were I inclined to ride in such cold. Wind protection is excellent. It gets plenty warm when the mercury rises to 50 but even then dropping the zipper a bit helps a lot. My wife even says it looks good on me!
It's important to note first the sizing runs small. In most other brands a wear a small but in this tight a medium is snug yet fits nicely. The fit is comfortable with the right size. The material is stretchy and doesn't bunch. The pad has density where I sit and pressure relief where I want it. I wore these down to mid 20's and stayed comfortable all the way up to mid 40's. For me, I'm very pleased with the comfort, warmth, and breathability.
The one performance complaint is with noise. One of the materials is a little noisy. It's a minor issue for an otherwise really high performing tight.
Overall for the performance that you're getting this is a reasonable value.
I've tried a handful of different gloves at different price points and this is a solid mid-range glove for mild winter conditions. My fingers run cold and I find them comfortable down to about the low 40s. It uses a neoprene-like material which is reasonably weatherproof and provides light insulation, but doesn't have a separate insulating layer. It uses a two piece sandwich construction so the seams fall kind of awkwardly at your finger tips and between your fingers where they touch (as opposed to the 3+ piece construction that higher-end gloves have). It also uses some sort of layer bonded directly to the fabric for touch-screen compatibility which is less durable than conductive fabric used in higher end gloves. That said, it's a solid glove for the price and performs reasonably well, but don't expect premium construction and materials.
