We are really excited to introduce our latest two piece suit.

The description from the website:

For those who prefer the more traditional jacket and pants combo, it simply can't get better than the Navigator suit. There has been no 2 piece textile suit in our lineup for more than a year because this time we wanted to create the ultimate outfit. Hence an incredible amount of thought, research, testing and time has been put into the development of this suit. We took our sweet time to develop this amazing suit - we can assuredly say that is one of the most comfortable, versatile and protective suits in the market.

The most abrasion resistant hi-tech fabrics including the latest ceramic plated SuperFabric that puts Kevlar to shame
Top rated Sas-Tec armor that blows past the CE standards including a back protector that far exceeds CE Level 2 requirements.
Innovative and versatile weatherproofing solutions that will allow you to traverse incredible temperature and weather ranges
Pants are semi-custom as standard - ensuring you get the right fit
The liners are optional - allowing you to opt for the stuff you need and skip what you don't.
Choose your own color scheme with hundreds of color possibilities
Absolutely the best value - more suit for your buck! Feel free to compare us against anything.

Here are the highlights of the suit:

Shell is made entirely from original 500D Cordura
Huge SuperFabric ballistic panels
Sas-Tec state of the art elbow, shoulder, hip and knee armor
Amazing Sas-Tec CE Level 2 back protector
A new comfortable collar design with tab to keep collar open when the temperatures rise
Reflective stripes stylishly integrated into the design
Several pockets including a huge backpack-style back pocket and a clear arm pocket
Stretch panels on the knees, elbows and shoulders
Vents on the arms, underarms, chest, knees and back
Dual front flap for improved weatherproofing
A new grippy seat design
A new cuff design for a more comfortable fit
A wide range of adjustability for a fine tuned fit

There are many small touches to this outfit that will only become apparent once you put some miles on the suit. Take the pants cuffs as an example. On the inside edge, there is a zippered gusset which allows your to adjust the fit of the cuff to fit both inside and outside a boot
On the outside edge, there is a zipper that opens up the pants to allow easy on/off for tall boots.

let me know if you folks have any questions about this suit. or just give us a call at 888-808-8349 and we can help you out with sizing.

Looks good! It's great to see someone apply the design focus and attention to detail of a company like Rev'it or BMW, at a price point more of us can afford.

A few suggestions:
- Include hi-viz in the trim color options.
- Provide more info on construction, particularly the stitching.
- I see no mention of internal pockets, but presumably there's at least one, right?
- The lower patch pockets on the jacket look like they might be waterproof, but there's nothing that says one way or the other.
- Include photos of the liners and info about how they attach.
- I know you offer custom sizing, but it would be nice to have a bit more info about the standard cut. Every manufacturer has a size chart, but that doesn't tell you how the garments actually fit. "Our model is 5'10" with a 42" chest, 34" sleeve, 33" waist, and a 32" inseam. He is wearing a size L jacket with a single base layer underneath and as you can see, the fit is snug but comfortable. If he were to choose both liners, he would need a size XL jacket." You get the idea.
- Tell us more about those "many small touches that will only become apparent once you put some miles on the suit." Of course it's nice to have the experience of discovering things you like after the purchase (bonus!), but these are selling points too.
- A video tour of the suit's features would be great.

p.s. The links on the Materials and Features page are broken -- they have an extra "store.teizms.com/" in them.

4) There will be not be an internal pocket as it will block the vents

5) The patch pockets indeed are waterproof.

6) Garments are double stitched at all important points.

6) We will get on it and add more details and pictures. Meanwhile, feel free to give us a call at 888-808-8349 and we can go ever details.

Glad to see these videos -- they're really helpful for getting a more detailed understanding of the various features, plus they give a better sense of how it fits.
