I was initially looking at sidi or tcx. Neither would fit my wide foot. I came across the tour master by accident, tried it on, and it fit. I wear a size 12D in running shoes and the size 46 fit me perfectly. Once I wore the boots for about 10 days of riding, the broke right in and I can walk in them all day now. They are surprisingly breathable in 100F heat, and keep my feet warm in 30 degree cold easily with only normal socks on. Protection is great and e boot is very sturdy...feel confident they will protect me wel in a crash. Wore in rain showers too and my feet stayed completely dry. Best bang for the buck...thinking about ordering a second pair to have if and when my first pair wear out...I am a daily commuter so it could be within the next six months.
Yes, I recommend this product.

So I've had the new Misano jacket for about two months now, ridden in temps ranging from 30-85F, sun and rain, and am very happy with this purchase.
I'm 6'3", 185lb, lean athletic built, 32" waist, 42" chest. The LARGE fits perfect on me, and the adjustable straps at the waist, wrists, and the gusset help. Not too baggy with only a base layer, and not too restrictive with base and mid-layer underneath - very adjustable. I stated it is a little large in fit above because usually I wear an XL in jackets (Dianese) and either a 52/54 in Rev'it, depending on the jacket. I always appreciate these stats that people post...so keep doing it too!
The vents perform excellent, but I'm not sure if enough air would vent in temps over 95F...the summers here get up to 100 with 100% humidity.
The jacket does great in the cold weather, as long as you have a good middle layer that you can tighten the waist straps so air doesn't get up in between. I usually wear a 800 count down jacket underneath and one performance long sleeve under armour, and my core is perfectly fine in freezing temps (30-34F).
The body armour is excellent - comes with shoulder, elbow, and back protector, all CE rated.
The pockets outside and internal are very nice.
Pricey, but worth the money for GORE-TEX and a jacket that can do it all in all kinds of climates and temps. MISANO is also nice...didn't have any break-in time at all, and the collar was fine-not bothersome whatsoever, but I am tall.
Nice reflective material, but I still wear a reflective vest over it for safety while on the bike.
No complaints on this jacket yet - I think it will be a very durable and lost-lasting purchase.

Jumping through hoops to get that new bike onto base While Icon cant help you bypass military regulations, they can help you meet them without looking like a construction worker The Mil Spec vest was designed to pass all military requirements for a mandatory reflective vest No bright orange reflective vest is ever going to win you fashion awards, but if you have to wear one, and you do, it might as well have the style and features that wont make you cringe Removable I.D. holder Adjustable fit Reflective taping (front and back) Storage pockets

Stats... 6'3" tall and about 185 lbs. I purchased this because I bought a new Spidi winter jacket that is all black with some reflective material.
Background....initially bought the first gear reflective vest from reveille in the size m/l. The thing was massively large, long as or longer than my 3/4 jacket, and way to bulky...air would make it flap if I actually used it. Could not tighten the sides and since them down.
Returned the first gear to reveille and got the icon yellow in the regular size....runs up to large. Fits over my winter jacket just fine, with three layers of clothes under the jacket and the jacket liner in. I did not want the vest to be loose and flapping as I ride, especially on the highway. I think by being more snug and slightly smaller, much smaller than first gear, the reflective material will also work better at night because it is not folding or collapsing down, and sits higher on my jacket.
Material feels a tad more durable than the first gear vest, and I like the zip close pockets in the front and back. Do not care for the ID wallet...did not try to put any ID in it yet either to see if it is large enough. Back pocket is plenty spacious for a cell phone, unlike another viewer wrote, unless they have a gigantic phone.
I do not mind the icon logo on the back since it is fully reflective...covers a lot of area when lit up. I also noticed the front zipper is YKK, so gives confidence that the snug fit should not break the vest.
I went with the vest because my summer revit jacket is all hi vis. Hs been working to make cars notices me, and wanted to maintain that safety with a dark winter jacket, especially in darker riding conditions during my commute. Like the fact at with the vest, I can take it off once at destination, and still wear the jacket without it. Did noT want that for summer though since my revit was bought specifically for air flow...did not want a vest to impede that flow in front or back whatsoever.
This vest is a good investment and good product...glad I switched out.
Also, I ordered it on Tuesday afternoon, and it arrived on Wednesday while also exchanging my other vest...shipped it back on Tuesday and had my refund already processed on Wednesday. Thanks revzilla for the great service...reason why I keep shopping online with you guys!
Yes, I recommend this product.

I received my vest the other day and waited for my new winter jacket to arrive today to try the fit (my summer jacket is hi-vis itself).
I saw the reviews and ordered a size smaller...I wear a XL jacket so purchased the M-L vest. I am 6'3" and 185 lbs. With my winter 3/4 length jacket, with liner and layers underneath, the vest is still too big. The velcro side straps won't close tighter, and the back of the vest goes as far down as my 3/4 touring winter jacket.
I plan to return/exchange this with RevZilla. With that much bulk of the vest, I would expect it to flap all over.
That said, the reflective material all over the vest in the right places. Too bad it is sized for those whose diet solely consists of McDonald's and KFC. The wallet thing on the vest is terrible to. First gear should simply remove it altogether.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Just received this jacket today in the mail, so the upfront disclaimer is I have yet to wear it on a ride - this is initial impressions.
I have a REV'IT Tornado jacket, hi-viz, which is awesome for summer, and now with fall, with the liner in, at 50 degrees, I'm chilly commuting on the highway.
Thus I chose the Spidi...I looked at the second version of this same jacket, and not really struck me as justifying the additional $100 given the closeout special.
PROS:
Great looking jacket. I am 6'3", 185 lbs, long arms, and this jacket fits me perfect, with the liner in and a long sleeve with t-shirt underneath. Very Euro cut - I lived there for 10 years (Europe) and loved the Spidi apparel I saw.
Collar is extremely comfortable and just the right height for a winter jacket.
Pockets, back light, zippers, jacket, liner - everything is really high quality.
CE Back armor is included!
CONS:
Armor - I'm used to REV'IT knox armor, and I compared my two jackets side-by-side, along with feeling the armor, the coverage (length/width), and thickness. The knox zrmor is definitely better feeling - more durable, at least superficially, than Spidi's. Knox is thicker, wider and longer on the shoulders and arms.
The Spidi back armor is great - wide and long. Problem is it moves around in the jacket due to too much room. Whereas the knox tp back armor in REV'IT is a b@t@h to get in/out, but it stays put!
Finally, the jacket has no vents, so it limits its versatility for drastic temperature changes. Without the liner in, the jacket feels a lot lighter...probably perform well (not get to hot) up to 75 degrees with low humidity.
Overall, I really like it. It made me realize though, having both jackets that have some "cross-over" of seasonality, that I would have been better to buy one serious 4-season jacket from the start for year-round use. If I had to do it all over again, I would have bought a 4-season jacket that (1) was Gore-Tex, (2) had vents, (3) reflective material, but came with a thermal liner (not rain liner...thus the Gore-Tex. Specifically, I would have gone with the Held Carese Gore-Tex Jacket. It would have been more expensive initially, but in the end I spent the same on two jackets, which I'll always be deciding which to use. If I ever choose to do a real adventure tour (sport touring) across hot and cold climates and low/high elevations, I would have to pack more layers for the Tornado - or buy a third jacket that is 4-season...
You can't go wrong with Spidi though. This is a great deal that I only found on Revzilla...thanks guys!
Yes, I recommend this product.

I bought this glove in May...my palm measured to be a size 9 (Large) in Held, but with my long fingers, I wear a XXL in Rev'It gloves.
This glove at size 9 fits perfect. Air flow is incredible...holes on the sides of the fingers and in 100+ degree weather with humidity, my hands felt cool. Very good tactical feel and grip with the gloves and the protection is second to none - very comfortable and soft feel on the palms. I feel if I go down, the glove will offer execellent protection and keep my hands/wrist safe. No sign of normal wear/tear yet after using it all summer as a commuter glove and weekend riding.
I wore it in the rain a few times...didn't soak the hands or glove. The glove is good until about 60 degrees, which the fingers start getting chilly, especially above 45 mph.
My buddy recommended HELD to me, and I also recently bought the HELD Freezer. Sizing is the same and an excellent product.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This is my second Scorpion; first was the EXO 500. The EXO 1100 is lighter and quieter than the EXO 500, and better handles head turning while traveling at 65 mph. IMHO, just as goo as Shoei, or any of those brands $360+. Visor is great...not too dark, not too light. Air flow is excellent, and even with all the vents, open, was not too bothered by noise traveling at 70 mph on the highway for about 30 minutes. Fits my head perfectly and more securely than the Schuberth C2, but that is individual-based...my choice was down to those two models. Head is 60 cm, and the LARGE was perfect...no hot spots or pressure points. It is difficult to fit into 34L side cases though. I went with the EXO 1100 since I can use it if I return to Europe to live or travel in the near future as well. Highly recommended scorpion to two other friends who ended up buying EXO 1000s, and they are both extremely satisfied too. Best bang for the buck, and I hope they keep churning out quality products and reasonable prices.

Sock wicks sweat extremely well. A little thicker than I thought it would be. Goes up to just below the knee (I'm 6'3") so does great job preventing chaffing with a boot. Once in contact with velcro, the material of the sock is screwed!!! Have yet to wash it to see how it holds up after...

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.

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.

Ordered this with RZ...am 6'3" 185lbs, 32 inch waist at hips, 34 inch at the belly-button. Went with the 34 pants based on RZ recommendation. Without the rain/thermal liner, pant is loose, but zip it to the tornado jacket and it is fine (stays up). Also keep in mind when you're on the bike, your stomach relaxes, so the pat fits perfect on the bike, and the knee armor fits perfectly too around the knees. Air flow is good in 90+ degree heat, but need to stand up to cool off the quads occassionally. Went with the silver pants b/c the black would cook in the sun. Would buy these again if I had to do it all over. Quality is outstanding. RZ delivered in 48 hours. Very happy with the purchase.

Ordered this glove originally. RZ recommended an XL for me since I was a 9.2 inch palm. Palm fit great, but fingers were too short for my long fingers. The stitching ran into my nails, and I keep them short...most protective glove I have ever worn though. Had to return them, but RZ was great in taking them back and helping me out - thanks guys! I noticed HELDs in LONG fit better...but each HELD fit differently too, so best advice is try to find a glove to fit on before ordering if possible.

Internal space compared to neotec

How much soace is there for the chin in the monaco?

I currently have a scorpion exo1100, and one thing I do not like is that there is little space for my chin, and I am no Jay Leno at all. Just pushing my helmet slightly into my face causes it to smack right into the chin....just imagine if I had an actual crash on impact... I found the neotec had ample space, whereas the schuberth c3 was also cramped space. This would also impact the installation of a mic for Bluetooth. How else does the Monaco compare with the neotec...functionality of the flip up latch system, etc.?

Thanks Revzilla...I love doing business with you all.

Level of warmth for this jacket?

I understand the jacket only omes with the outer shell...no liners. At what temperatures is this jacket withstanding cold-wise before additional liners are needed?

Insulated with warm Primaloft insulation. Outershell in soft aniline cowhide Water-repellent Primaloft lining (65 polyolefin, 35 polyester) Gore-Tex membrane - waterproof, windproof and breathable (100 polyester with 100 polyurethane coating) Velcro adjustment at wrist and cuff Visor wiper Ball of the thumb protected by Schoeller Keprotec
 

Sizing

I wear a Size 9 in the Held Evo Thrux summer gloves. Was wondering if I should also get a 9 in the Held Freezer, or go up to a size 10 since it is a winter glove...? I've read that one should want more space in a winter glove to promote more heat and circulation. I've also noticed trying on Helds in the past that a size 9 in one model may differ from a size 9 in another model...I also have long fingers.

Hello - I am 6'3", 185 pounds, about a 40/41 inch chest; waist is 32 around hips, 34 around belly button. I am trying to determine what size jacket to get...question really is if 52 would have long enough sleeves for my arms, or if I need to go 54. Would like to be less baggy as possible. Thanks.

They would not be warm in 35 degree weather...only comfortabke down to about 60 IMHO. They are water resistant in my two experiences of riding in about 20 minutes of rain.
