Rev'it gear...experiences?

[redxblack]

I wear a size L tshirt but my revit air jacket is an XXL. It's my shoulders, too. Their stuff is small-ish.

i got the revit jerez gloves the other day, i will say that they are narrow gloves with slightly longer fingers than say alpinestars when you get the same size.

they seem to fit me fine, the held phantoms are definitely even longer fingers than the revit jerez gloves.

overall i would say the jerez gloves are a pretty good value for the price of 229 you get full on race gloves, so who knows.

i have a pair of ladies summer textile vented pants, and a pair of ladies summer gloves
i love them both.

i'm saving to get some leather, and am considering these:





reV'it ladies pants are available in different lengths

Revit has about 3 different cuts, plus 2 sizing schemes.

they can fit almost anyone.

In jackets they have a 'sport cut', casual cut, and semi-sport cut.
They also have numbered sizing, which is Gender-Specific, and SML sizing, which is unisex.

Some gender specific products were once unisex (such as the air line), and maintain the unisex numbering (XS fit a smaller woman as a s, S fit a woman as a med, M fit a small mens, m fit a mens large, etc)

So, the sport cuts require different fits in number than the casual cuts etc.  If the jacket has a liner, it is snugger than one that doesnt with the liner in.

The gear is exceptional, and some of the best at the price.

I've had a Pheonix for 2 years +, and not a single problem. The ignition, is one of the most versatile jackets I've ever used (

I've gone down twice at the track in a GT suit, which still looks mint except for a few letters that came off.


Their Touring gear, is the best.  Better quality and design than the rivals (and the thiefs! *cough* BMW *cough*).  Better zippers, better liners, better water protection, warmer, lighter!

The Cayenne Pro, is one of the best jackets I've ever used. Versatile enough for 3.5 seasons in the northeast (mid summer it's too hot, but it handles everything else you can imagine).

got the revit zip overpants in size small.

they are good for someone with a 29-31 inch waiste and fit perfectly over jeans easily but you have to take off your boots to put them on and off, good if you have a 28-31 inch inseam or so.  they are measured at your true waist and come up to about yourbelly button so that if it rains they keep the rain out.  haven't worn them in the rain yet only just got them but they will be good for winter overpants and spring and fall.. since they have no vents at all they may not be the best for summer.

i got them because they are good for commuthning and easiy to put over kakis or jeans for shorter trips wouldn't use them for hours on end since the fabric though 500d denier seems to be a lot better than just riding in jeans or shorts.  they have some knee armor in them and seems to stay ther but like any overpants they move a little that is to be expected.  the fit and such is great for these if you are on the thinner to athletic side.

also i got the Jerez racing gloves.  great quality but the webbikeworld review is right, the aluminum parts are painted with a matt black and pick up scrathes on teh knuckles and wrist within minutes, this is does affect function at all only asethtiecs.  they seem to be great quality but again just got them so can't giv eyou long term results.

also i got these in a size medium and they are a race fit, meaning they are a bit snug to say the least, the only good thing ist hat they appear to strectch after some use in width in the fingers so they fit perfectly after a few days.  the fingss are not overly long and seem to be shorter than say a held phantom glove if you like those, also the fins\gers are slightly longter than the kushitani gpr 5  gloves if you need a point of reverenec for the same medium size.

I'm a big fan. I don't think there's better textile gear out there and their leather is top notch as well.

I'm on my third pair of Rev It gloves.  The first pair I had did have the issue with ventilation when they got wet, but my subsequent two pairs have been fine.

My S.O. has a 32 inch waist and 34 inch inseam and RevIt made a pair of riding pants that fit him.  I just picked up a pair of riding pants for my father for under $150 with full CE armor and rain liner included.

The biggest endorsement comes from a friend of mine. He was wearing Rev'IT pants when he had a freak crash where the bike landed on his calf, breaking it in so many places they installed a rod.  Right after he went down, he jumped up to pick the bike up.  The gear survived well enough to keep his leg contained so none of the bones broke the skin.
