Cluncky, heavy, good looking, warm on cold days (just finished a 200-mile day trip--was 32 degrees at the start.) Good for long rides. Would not be a good shoe for short rides--with the laces and the turnbuckle, it takes a while to get them on and off. Not a great shoe for extended walking (a couple miles), but fine for a few blocks to get where you're going. Would not be my choice on a hot summer day--heavy, thick, do not breathe. But they are terrific in cold or moderate weather. I've had this pair for about 5 yrs.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I bought the Tornado pants first, then the jacket. I wore both on a week-long trip where I covered 2500 miles in 6 days. I was in pouring rain and fog on two days (Oregon and Washington) with snow on the ground on the 4th of July at 5700' in the Northern Cascades. Then my last day I covered 450 miles in 99 degrees coming back home to Central California. I won't say I was really comfortable #it was HOT#, but the jacket and pants did breathe adequately, and the protection is terrific. I am warm enough in these pants and jacket at 50 degrees in the rain, but down at 40 degrees F or below, I need thermal long underwear. The liner jacket is wearable by itself, which is really great for packing less when on a road trip.
Yes, I recommend this product.

REV'IT! Tornado Pants The REV'IT! TORNADO trousers combine maximum cooling, through air mesh panels, with abrasion-resistant fabric and CE-approved armor at the knees, to give you ultimate temperature flexibility in adventure touring trousers. Like the REV'IT! TORNADO jacket, the trousers are equipped with the all-new 2-in-1 liners that combine a 100 waterproof membrane with a thermal insulated liner, which are easily zipped out and stowed away for hot weather days. These trousers are so practical and easy to get on and off (with or without liners), thanks to the full length zippers, that you're going to wonder how you ever lived without them. REVIT PROTECTION FEATURES Outer shell polyester rib, PWRshell mesh, polyester 600D, PWRwax 500D, PWRshell 500D stretch, polyester dull 600D, Lorica reg Insulation detachable 2-in-1 thermal liner and membrane Waterproofing detachable hydratex G-liner (5000mm H2O) Breathability detachable hydratex G-liner (5000g/m2/24hrs) Composition outer shell 86 polyamide, 14 polyester lining 100 polyester membrane 100 polyamide (100 polyurethane coating, insulation 100 polyester) Protection Knox Flexiform CE protection at knees, perforated EVA foam at hips Visibility laminated reflection at upper legs and calves ERGONOMIC FEATURES Fit tour fit, regular Adjustability adjustment straps at waist, adjustment tab at ankles Ventilation ventilation panels at legs Features short connection zipper, elastic at waistband, adjustable protector pockets, easy entrance zipper Pockets slit pockets NOTE The Tornado Pants run 1 size larger compared to other REV'IT!

I received these pants two days before leaving on a 1250 mile road trip over four days with a group. There was pouring rain from Bakersfield to Tehachapi, and snow on the ground in the mountain pass. I was warm enough, adding light weight thermal long johns under the pants, although one guy's bike read 22 degrees with wind chill. Perfectly dry and comfortable. The official temp. was 34 degrees at the time. Then we had cross winds of up to 55 mph, heading south to Laughlin. Three days later we rode back through the Mojave Desert in 75 degrees, and I removed the waterproof thermal liner. Very comfortable! And great protection.
Yes, I recommend this product.

What size do you put me in? I'm a 40" chest, 5'10 tall, 175-180 pounds

Also, what back protector should I use with it?
I am 6' 2 ", 40" chest, 184 lb., and I wear a 52 jacket. BTW, I have a 34" waist, and wear a 54 in the Tornado pant. I've done to 2550 miles in 9 days in the Tornado jacket and pant, riding over a mountain pass in with snow on the ground crossing the Cascades in Northern Washington, and came back through Northern California a few days later in about 104 degrees #I removed the waterproof thermal liners, of course#. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Sizing

I noticed that the Big Bang 2.0 only come in whole sizes. I usually wear a 10.5 US. Should I go up or down?
I would go up, and wear thick socks.

hook?

A user mentioned that they have added a hook in addition to the snap for the pants. Is that true?
Mine have two metal snaps, and a 7" zipper in the back. No hook. Don't need one.

What are the cleaning instructions for the jacket, pants, and liners?

Remove the armor from the outer shell on the pants and jacket. Wash gentle cycle, cold water, drip dry. I did this and had good results.

Can this be worn as a stand alone pant without the lining?

Yes, I was very comfortable in 65-75 degrees wearing just lightweight short pants underneath. I could have just worn boxers.

hey i live in ireland and just wondering would these pants do a good job in heavy rain and lower temps thanks

These pants are great in pouring rain. Your boots need to be waterproof though. I had a little leakage through the zipper in my boots after 2-3 hours in the rain. The pants are good down to about 40 degrees. At 34 degrees and 65 mph I needed lightweight synthetic long underwear under the pants.
