Their "black" is called "cool black" and is designed to keep you 15 degrees cooler than any other mesh you can buy.
Good to hear. Even though black goes with everything and looks the best, I prefer not black on summer pants, because it typically feels much hotter than lighter colors. Even the dark blue jeans feel quite hot. But it's rare to find silver pants, and Tourmaster doesn't make them anymore. Looking forward to your review of your pants when you get them.
Got the Flex 3 jacket yesterday, and surprisingly, even with the winter liner installed, I have room to spare everywhere, and it's a freaking XS. Oh, and I have a few extra holiday pounds. There's always a first time for everything
. Will remove the liner and shell and make sure it's not too floppy, but shouldn't be worse than the current Phoenix3. And it has taller neck, and much better fastening for the cuffs, plus nice material there and on the neck. For $120 shipped, can't beat this deal. The place selling them at that price both on eBay and Amazon is 'FayMyers'; if you're in the market for an excellent 3 to 4-seasons jacket, jump on them while you can. Yes, there's a new version coming in a few months, but it'd cost you at least double that. Hope this helps.
