Thanks again for all your support!
I just want to add that even at $159.00 it is still a great deal. My local bike shop wants $189.00 (Firstgear's suggested retail price) plus tax of $14.72 for total price of $203.72. I saved $64.72 by buying from Ron, and even at his regular price I would still have saved $44.72. The only drawback is I had to wait four days to get them (ordered late Saturday night and UPS delivered Wednesday afternoon), but since it is still hot I was not in a hurry and did not need them right now. My only suggestion is to go to a store and try them on to get the correct size, as I was not sure what size to get. Ron (thru emails) gave great help, but going to the store was the best thing for me to do because it eliminated any chance of error. All I can say is great customer service for a great product.

Thanks for the post. It helps others decide if the Thermo is for them or not.
I've had several ask if the other Firstgear cold weather gear (jackets, pants, gloves and heated gear) pricing went up. Only the Pre-Season sale price on the Thermo suits went up. Everything else in the Firstgear line remains the same price as before the Thermo sale.

just my 2 cents . . .
. . . I bought a Firstgear Thermo Suit soon after I bought my Spyder - winter of 09. It has turned out to be the best riding gear investment I've made. It extends my riding season ( here in New Mexico ) to almost all year - there are only a few days a year when it would be just plain stupid to ride. ( I know, I've tried and proven that. )
The big thing for me is safety - riding in cold weather and getting cold is dangerous. Your reaction times drop, attention wanders and hypothermia sets in. My Firstgear suit takes care of that and really takes me into a warm comfort zone. On real cold days - under 30, I wear my electric vest - to be honest, I seldom have the vest on if it is above freezing - and with the suit, I have never turned it up above low.
Also, with the suit - I find I don't use the electric gloves as much - usually a good pair of windproof gloves and a warm body will work just fine - as long as you don't grip the handlebars to tight and cut your hands circulation. I keep my heated gloves under the seat, though - just in case I get caught out by the night on a ride - the temps really drop fast here after dark in the late fall and winter.
If you do a lot of cold weather riding, once your body is warm there are a few other things that will get cold. The biggest problem I encounter is the helmet - fog and then frost on the visor is no fun - especially when it is both inside and on the outside. My old helmet would also start making creaking sounds when it got around 25. The anti-fog treatments seem to work fine, but if you walk inside a heated area that has any level of humidity - your whole hemet can turn white with frost in a second.
But, the Thermo Suit works like a charm - and I swear you cannot get the material dirty - mine looks as good today as the day I bought it and I've never cleaned it. And, for me, it is comfortable to wear - the fit is good, doesn't bind - permits a full range of motion, and is not bulky or clumsy. The sizing guide worked perfectly for me. Note that it will add some padding to your bottom - you will sit higher on the Spyder than you usually do.
The only negative I have is the time that it takes to get in and out of it - getting out is faster. Add to that if you have a electric vest and gloves - playing with the wiring is a royal pain. If I am dressed and ready to go - I consider it will take me 15 minutes to put the suit on (and boots) and be going out the door. ( you won't want to spend a lot of time standing around in a warm house with this suit on - - and make sure your keys, cash, drivers license, phone and any credit cards you might use are not in your pants pockets - that is why they put that big pocket on the outside )
The bottom line for me is this suit really works, feels and looks great. At this point the sale price is gone, but this is the best price I have seen one being sold at. If you think you want to ride in cold weather - really consider this.

Did my first ryde today with my suit, and at 60 degrees and 75 MPH it was nice and warm. Just have to learn how to put it on real fast when inside because it got hot really fast.
