Seriously though, the Highland II is a decent suit except that I don't care much for the fraying of the material (kind of like the Tourmaster cordura jacket that I have as well) and the leg openings are slightly small. It's a pain in the ass to try to put your booted feet through the leg holes. A couple of times one of my foot got caught and I'd topple over.

My advise is that if one were strapped for cash, then a Field Sheer/Tourmaster/Scorpion will do. But if one were to want to invest in an outfit that provides superior protection and lasts a long time then go with Aerostitch or BMW.

Yep. Consider the fraying this outfit and the Tourmaster have already suffered from easy usage, I don't have much faith in their longitivity. The Beemer outfits are still going strong. Dirty and stinky but still going strong.
