I have the Latitude and Debbie has the women's version.
We really like the gear but it could use better venting for hot weather.
It doesn't have as many vents as say the Badlands.

Your jacket has the little hooks to hold the collar open which will help.
It will also help that your gear is grey compared to our black.

Thanks for the insights.

Do you guys have the newer version that came out in Spring 2018? They apparently redesigned the venting to be at the armpits, forearms, and also the vertical chest vents (which I presently use as pockets). The jacket has exit vents at the lower back. Each leg of the pants has a vertical vent and an exit port on the hamstring.

This reviewer said "...the thigh vents could be improved. They are in line with the wind flow and too far up on the thigh. I would prefer them farther towards the knee for more vented area and facing the wind to catch more air. Also, the shoulder vents are covered when the fabric bunches up as you reach for the handlebars, blocking much of their venting."

I may not have the cuff problem as it seems that my cuffs are plenty large - maybe too large. I have a large size jacket which is a tad baggy (except for around the gut ) so the cuffs will fit easily over my summer gloves.

Haven't used the collar hooks yet but I can see how that will help big time. On my recently concluded 4 day mini-tour to Arkansas, I had wind going down my closer collar enough to have to put on the Storm Collar to stop it. I can only imagine the increase in airflow with the collar hooked open.

If you wear XL normally, could I try yours on at Gunnison?

This as opposed to the xl in Klim that don't fit me well and I don't like. So we'll see what shows up and I should hame them for the meet up in September.
