There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Jay, because I like you so much I went out to the garage to see what model NR I have and it is the SR-6000. I bought it at Spyderfest last year because I was wearing a new to me Can-Am jacket that was rated at less than 100% waterproof and we were heading to NC through rain and cold. At first I purchased a more expensive model that was also being sold at Spyderfest but when I tried it on over my other gear it was too tight at the neckline. When I went to exchange it they no longer had the expensive model in my size but they did have the SR-6000. The pants are plenty long, probably even for your long legs
Mine is the high viz and I like that and the reflective stripes that they have on it, the zipper works great, it has lots of velcro and the pants have stirrups and the jacket has a hood. I wear Aerostitch Gortex pants, which do a great job of keeping me dry but they aren't quite long enough and I get water dripping down into my boots so I wear the NR suit over the pants, as the stirrups keep the water out of the boots. I will have a layer of water between the Aerostitch and the NElson Rigg as the rain suit doesn't breathe like Gortex does. That's a little annoying but if I'm dry underneath that's all that matters.
The rain suit got a good workout on our trip to the 10th Anniversary Homecoming both as a rain suit and as an added layer to cut the wind and cold. It worked great for me on my recent trip to northern CA and I think I should get at least a few years out of it. I give it :2thumbs:
