I'm liking my non-vented lowers. I think they're a better choice for where I live (nw Wa). The vented ones are nice in the summer for airflow, but I've heard they aren't as water-tight as the non vented ones. In the summer, I'm just gonna take mine off the bike.

I think the newer vented ones are nice, and if I could have gotten a set at the same price I paid for my non-vented ones, I probably would have. However, I got these at a good price from a forum member, and am very happy with them.

I have the vented lowers, that I purchased from a member on this site. It's great to be able to open and close the vents. I also added the hogtunes lower fairing speakers to them.
