I have worn them in 19C so not exactly Death Valley, but the Drystar lining did it's job of shedding any moisture from me, and I was bone dry even after wearing for 2 hours. Not Gore Tex but a third of the price!
Looks bloody good too, like it cost fortunes.
I'm away on the bike this weekend so will be a good test to see how it copes with heat, humidity and the possibility of heavy rain/thunderstorms!
I agree, it looks like a quality piece of kit but costs a fraction of the price.

I went the opposite way! Large trousers & medium jacket. 32" waist but found the trousers too tight with the linings in whilst wearing jeans (my normal riding attire). Jacket is about right for me at a medium (38-40" chest), not worn it without the lining yet & just a t-shirt to see how well it truly fits.
