Arai Corsair V Diamond Helmet The new Arai Corsair V Diamond Color Helmet proves again that Arais main focus is the experienced rider who knows what a real helmet should do and have. It doesnt fling fashion at you it advanced the art of building better helmets for riders. Its improvements and innovations reach down to the smallest details. Why Partly obsession. Partly because Arai believes every part of a helmet is interrelated in both design and function. We dont believe in change for the sake of change, fad, or marketing shock value. Features Diamond metallic paint Newly designed shell with Hyper-Ridge around the bottom enhances shell strength while providing a larger bottom opening Larger bottom opening promotes ease of putting on and taking off the helmet Peripheral belting across the forehead area of the shell enhances structural integrity while maintaining flexibility, low weight and shell size Larger upper vent tabs make operating the vents easier even with thick winter gloves New Arai SAI shield with Super AdSis shield system New SAI shield is 5mm longer in each side and provides a wider field of view New SAI shield and base plates are exclusive to Corsair V helmets Latest generation of Dry Cool line has a new silver-grey color Rear mounting straps are slightly re-positioned exclusively to the Corsair V Neckroll is removable and has additional exhaust channels to remove interior heat Cheek pads have the exclusive Emergency Release Tab feature Newly designed side exhaust cowls exhaust heat as well as add lateral stability at speed Enhanced air inlets of the new DF-9 diffuser increase airflow efficiency Brow vents now duct air into the temple area and out the side vents for maximum cooling Exclusive AirWing provides unprecedented aerodynamic performance with 5 distinct positions DOT approved Snell M2010 Certified

For me this is the perfect helmet. A small fits my head nice and snug while flowing plenty of air on hot days to keep me cool and sweat to a minimum. It's not the quietest but if you've got this on you're probably wearing ear plugs anyway. Tucked in it doesn't feel like you have to fight to see out of the top of the helmet and you have excellent peripheral vision as well. Did I mention that it fits my head perfectly? I can't wear Shoei's because they are way too narrow and my head is more round.

RevZilla Staff Premium T-Shirt Lovingly concocted in 2007 and named El Moto Diablo for its geared and devlish lines, the RevZilla Staff Tee Shirt has been part of our lineup from the beginning. It's also the same blue shirt in every video that Anthony has been rocking since day one of RevZillaTV on Youtube. People love to point out that Anthony doesn't ever change his clothes. I guess when it works you stick with it. The tee is screen printed on a high thread-count blank that is anything but one of those throw away tees you get free at the ball game. We wear tees a lot - almost every day - and we are very particular about how they fit, feel and hold up wash after wash. Sizing is true to size, if anything they run a hair on the small side. Show your love for TeamZilla. Make a statement. Boom.

Super soft, but if this is navy blue then it's the only navy blue I've ever seen that looks more like purple, and I've got a closet full of navy blue shirts. It's only 40% blue and 60% purple.

I ride a BMW naked bike so there are no fairings or anything to hide behind and living in Seattle it gets wet and cold. As of now I'm wearing Rev'It Jerez race gauntlets but 40 - 50 degrees is cold even with heated grips.
These gloves are built like snowboarding gloves in that they are thicker and more padded than I expected and the liner moves independently of the outer layer so sometimes you feel it shifting on your hand. I'm sure they would break in but they are too thick for what I was looking for. As others have noted they seemed a bit tight for a cold weather glove.
I'm also not so sure they would survive a fall if it came down to that. I have only wore them indoors though and have not ridden in them as I'll be sending them back and continue looking. Just know that they are padded and feel mushy. Even my buddy tried them on and thought they were a bit thick.

SAS-TEC Back Protector Cutting edge SAS-TEC material is intelligent armor constructed from visco elastic soft foam smart molecules. It has earned the highest CE rating available (CE level 2), during an impact, the armor freezes and hardens, absorbing the shock and distributing its force over a large area to reduce the risk of fractures. The protector is not destroyed by impact, but reverts back to its original state and maintains its capability to protect from multiple impacts. SAS-TEC Armor has a soft and pliable exterior (as opposed to rigid KNOX armor) which offers a great deal of comfort and mobility. This protector is anatomically designed and fitted to provide superior spine and back protection as well as the base of the neck /between the shoulder blades. SC-1/11 fits Women's Turbine Jacket SC-1/12 fits REV'IT! Cayenne Pro Jacket and Turbine Jacket REV'IT Gore-Tex Jackets have different shaped back protector pockets depending on the size of jacket, see the size chart for fitment information SC-1/16 should only be used for XYL or larger Gore-Tex Jackets SC-1/11 Measurements (approximate) Height 15 3/4 Width (at widest point) 13 Thickness 3/4 SC-1/12 Measurements (approximate) Height 19 Width (at widest point) 13 Thickness 3/4 SC-1/16 Measurements (approximate) Height 21 3/8 Width (at widest point) 13 3/8 Thickness 3/4

I crashed it and it literally saved me. I not only walked away, but jumped up to get my bike off the track as soon as I stopped flipping over. Wrote a better review in the Sand jacket are since that's what it was in.

I wasn't sure when I first bought it but was very happy with it in the end. The fit chart said that I needed a Large (5'9", 175lbs, 42" chest) but the jacket felt too big so I went with the Medium. It was tight at first with all the liners in but I was suprised that it loosened/stretched up soo much after awhile and fit perfect even with all the liners and a SAS insert. Medium was definitely the way to go for me. I don't like loose bulky motorcycle gear and don't wear more than a shirt or thermal underneth. Wondering if M pants would have done the same (I went with L). In the rain it got soaked but the under layer did it's job and kept it from soaking into me. Vents pretty well in the heat too.
I wore it on the track when I had a high side at 45mph and it didn't really hold up well. I don't think I spent much time sliding, mainly flipping, rolling off my shoulders and back 3x or so. Ate right through the fabric and the armor did it's job. The liners were out and the vents were open; where I contacted pavement over the vents (L back, R thigh), I had abrasions and large bruises from the zippers/vents. Pants melted in the inside L leg, somehow it got in front of the engine between the forks and into the pipes and luckily didn't break off in there. When I first hit it was on the L shoulder, arm, back and I think that did most of the damage but other than a few bumps, bruises and abrasions, I immediately jumped up to get the bike off the track. On the outer forearms of the jacket just above the 'slide' panels it ate through some of the textile and threads as well to the point it's coming apart.
Reviewing the gear my friends and I wondered how well this combo or any textile would hold up to a low side and sliding, on the street or elsewhere. All in all I'm very happy with it and it saved me, literally. I need something to replace it for 4 season riding in the NW so leathers are out and I'm wondering if I should get another similar set or get the Defender combo instead at twice the price hoping it'll hold up better if it should need to be used. I'd still recommend the Sand combo. Great fit and a great value. Even with the damage I taped it up and rode home 8 hours away.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I was trying to decide between these and the TRQ-Tour Gore-Tex boots so I ordered both. The TRQ-Tour's didn't feel as good on the foot and looked a little funny as there was extra space/leather on the top of the foot so that when you bent your foot forward, it would bunch up. The Torque Pro WP's were tighter on the top of the foot and didn't have that same 'bunching' issue, looked much better on the foot & felt better. They were tighter over all (narrower) but especially from the mid foot forward giving a very solid feel. The TRQ's were tighter in the heel area which also felt great but the front didn't feel as tight/good.
I'm also inbetween sizes so I tried 42 & 43 in the TRQ-Tour while the Torque Pro's were 41 & 42 (both boots also fit different in sizing). The smaller size were too small (tight) with the insert but perfect w/o. When inquiring about the inserts, I was told they are made to have the inserts in place as you ride and not w/o so I had to go up a size. There was too much heel lift when going up a size which made me worry the were too big but after riding and walking around a bit it's not that big a deal, I hardly even notice it. I may get some different insoles later to take up a bit more room if it becomes an issue.
Unlike the other Torque boots, the WP does NOT have the internal lacing bootie which I would have liked to know ahead of time. I may have just gotten the regular version instead had I known. I'm also glad I got these instead of the TRQ's as the first time out on the track I was grinding the toe sliders which I thought I'd never have a need for. Overall I'm very happy with these.

Too long or too short?
Is it better to go too long or too short? The short seem just fine as I'm standing but too short when I'm mounted [well above my ankle]. The regular seem long as I'm standing but right when I'm sitting on a bike [at my ankle]. What is the proper length for a motorcycle pant?
