ya i had a chris blais but the wrong size, to big. i really liked it and it was bomber.
im going with a lighter style, and no! the neck part doe's not come off. i went for it, for the cold and to keep bugs out.
it is usually dank and foggy in the mornings in the summer so you freeze to death riding up to get into the sun, then it's roasting and tons of bugs that like to go down the brace and bite you. it doe's seem that it could be warm, i will give it try and see.
it's a XL and im 6'1 n half 185
i wear a Acerbis pressure suit with the Moto GPX Leatt.
