Note that the Profile had been on the market for many years. This could be an exceptionally old model.

As to heat, I'm extremely happy with it. I'm in Dallas, where temps have been over 100 lately. I don't have any vents open above 100, so it's...

Teiz Power Shell Review

Background
Most people don’t understand my obsessions with motorcycling and motorcycle safety gear. The concepts appear mutually exclusive to most non-riders and even to many riders. As such, I’ve...

So far, I'm delighted with my Power Shell. I'm waiting to write a review until I get more miles on it and try a few different things, but I'm definitely glad I didn't go with another Roadcrafter.

I'd recommend looking at other solutions to ease the vibes, like bar end weights. They make gloves with gel in the palms, but that would also reduce your feel for the bike.

You're generally better off without ventilation when temps get near and above 100 degrees, in my experience. Just dehydrates the heck out of you faster than sweat can cool you down.

Why the Zumo is so expensive is beyond me. Cut the price in half and they'd still make a hefty profit, plus a ton more people would buy them. Le sigh.

Most of my stuff doesn't smell too bad, but I don't sweat much. A little body powder in boots when they get ripe goes a long way. I'd do the same in my gloves if they ever bothered me.
