I rolled by this yesterday. Very low key, mostly just a lot of stuff on the racks to try on and the line of Combat Touring boots to try for size. Nothing is for off the rack sale, it's all try and order.

They've got the Roadcrafters in all sizes including short and tall, plus women's. There's a few of the Roadcrafter variants on hand so you can get an idea of the feel for the differences between the shell thickness of the models. Most of the leather Transit line stuff was there (missing a few sizes, didn't have one that fit me).

I tried on the Roadcrafters, found a size that fits well, and got some recommendations on suggested alterations. The fit is pretty important and variable depending on the ergonomics of the bike, so there's a lot of details I probably would have missed without trying on a few sizes and talking to the reps about the alteration options.

I'm actually considering buying one now, probably a RC Tactical or Stealth, or RC without the different color ballistics. It was worth the stop-in, ordering without it would have been a pain to try and figure all this stuff out over the phone and with exchanges.
