I would also note, the Xplorer gear I tried last year came as a 34w so the fitting consistency was accurate. After strutting around the house, testing the fitting with the 34w pant, the fit was perfect. To date, this is my favorite color gear as it's dark and hides dirt well. With a base color of black with the grey accents and green MSR labeling (I would call it a flow green), the look was very simple and clean. With a new box labeled MSR sitting on my doorstep, I couldn't help but tear into it and see what arrived. To keep the everything comfortable and in place, a 3/4 mesh liner is used on the inside of the pants. Lastly, we move onto the Pants. Notable features include adjustable Velcro waist straps with a ratchet style belt closure for a better fit, 600D Oxford main construction and leather inner knee pads for added durability. Moving on to the Jersey, they simplified and slimmed down the sleeves for a better fit, added venting under the armpits, as well as a large vented back panel for cooling. Starting with the Gloves, some features include a reinforced thumb to resist blistering, double layer synthetic palm for added durability, and Velcro cuffs for a better fit. Taking feedback from MSRs very best racers, in some of the most difficult conditions, MSR refined the NXT line to fit better, perform better, and last longer. More recently, the folks at MSR asked if I'd like to give their NXT line a try, it looked like it was right up my alley, so I took it to the Canadian woods to see how it would fare. For my tastes, it was a bit heavy, mostly due to added material for pockets and such. A while back, I had the pleasure of reviewing MSRs Xplorer Summit Series riding gear and I came away pretty impressed overall.
