Checking out new joe rocket stuff today, noticed that have lots of new stuff for the ladies (I was looking for sweetie not me :-P), it's usually hard to find stuff for girls, but for all of you out there who have women in your life that ride and want to get them a present. The most noticeable and what my sweetie wants is the new phoenix 2.0 for the ladies, first is the fact that they are making a phoenix jacket for women and that they have some different liners and vests as options for it now to make it warmer or cooler. http://www.joerocket.com/ladiesproduct.htm Oh also I finally got my freakin helmet from MAW a new Nolan N100E with the single lever to flip up the face, which works very very nicely, sweetie has a N100 with the two levers and she has a hard time getting it open sometimes. I probably should have gotten a large instead of a medium, the chinguard is kinda close, but for the most part I like the helmet. It could use some better ventilation in front but you have two options for how far cracked you have the visor before you open it completely, which works for better ventilation. It comes with a few extra things to like a little flap to keep air from blowing up in the chin area for when its cold, it is removeable, also a little "breath deflector that keeps you from breathing on the face shield (also removeable) and it comes with an "inner visor" that supposedly is the fog resistant system, it is a smaller clear visor that attaches inside the faceshield to prevent it from foggin up, I havn't been able to try that yet. I'm going to see if I can find those "inner visors" in different colors, like a darker one, the inner visors lay flat if they aren't attached to the faceshield so it would be easier to store than an extra faceshield.
