This is my fifth pair of Shimano mtb shoes and I've always wore a 42. These were too small.
And what's with Shimano not shipping SPD cleats anymore? I think that happened on my last pair as well .
Anyway, construction looks solid as usual.

This is a great little light from Exposure. Unfortunately, after many years of use, and some over-tightening, mine broke. I'm a little hesitant to buy another because of the twist on/off, but it's proving difficult to find something of similar micro size that incorporates a CR123 (rechargeable) with a strobe function at around the 100lm level so that the battery last many hours. Just enough light to get you through the first twenty minutes of a predawn mtb race, or convince check point officials to let you pass after the no-lights time cutoff of an ultraendurance because you haven't trained when you have a new kid. ("They didn't say what kind of light. Go!"€)

Slight increase in lumens since I bought mine. There are a lot of other offerings out there with multiple times the lumens, but this one is really great for its balanced size, output, and life. Also, since the Flash sits flush with the handle bars, there is no knee bumping when out of the saddle.
The Flare is also a really nice taillight, but expect the same issue with the plastic twist head after years. Also, if you have an aero seat post, you may want to wrap a small piece of bike tube to keep it steady.

I bought this to replace a Scott Vanish Evo which saved my head in a severe impact with the road. For $130 (less on sale), this is a pretty nice helmet. It's got MIPS, is pretty lightweight, and nice looking. Breathes as well as any other more expensive helmet I've had.
Couple of strikes. It doesn't work so well with sliding your glasses into the vents. Also, for cold weather riders the strap is not long enough so that when you have on skull cap and have to adjust the buckle, it's right near the edge, and it's come off a few times. That's bad planning. I don't have a huge head.

Kept me toes warm for rides starting at 30 degrees (despite what the Garmin said), without any real added bulk. Can get about two hours in cold weather before toes get nippy. Read the complaints here about the zippers failing/breaking. I think some care in putting these on will help them last, like pinching the zipper together as you pull up. I put a couple dozen+/- rides on them over the past two NY winters without trouble. I like the sole design. Covers the whole sole underneath except for the cleat and heal pad. One thing I didn’t like about the Gore Thermo (which I returned) is that it’s only an elastic strap so if it isn’t tight around the sole, there’s a lot of space for cold air to come through. If you’re on the higher side of Gores sizing and get cold feet, then I would expect the fit to be better and would gladly pay the extra $40-$50 for what I think would be a warmer cover (but can’t confirm). But for the $30 sale price I paid for these, I am very happy with the purchase.
