In summer touring, your gear choice completely changes how comfortable the ride feels. Whether a mesh jacket lets the wind through directly affects how tired you feel by the end of a long day. A feature that covers gloves and pants all at once is really helpful. Once you've got a cool, safe outfit sorted, summer road trips get a lot more enjoyable.

A feature article is ultimately just introducing a manufacturer's new product, so I don't expect much neutral evaluation from it.
