I just switched from my old 'inexpensive' suit to a new Bell 
ProTrak with all the whizzy venting and new materials. My motivation
was my old suit mysteriously shrinking over the winter more than
anything else., but since I had to buy a new one...

What a difference. Whereas I used to come out of the car soaked in sweat
on hot days (and roasty warm on the cold ones...) I got out of the
car feeling pretty darn good. Still hot, but that's to be expected.
The venting proved it's worth on several occasions, but was a bit 
chilly coming down the main straight @ Pocono in the rain...
