Icon Field Armor Stryker Knee Guard Road rash on your knees or gouged shins will ruin your month. Icon knows these lessons well. If you chose to hit the streets in anything less then full leather pants you need knee armor. That's a damn fact. The Field Armor Stryker knee armor is equipped with d3o intelligent foam and feature full CE approval. The low-profile rider developed chassis fits easily under almost any pant with easy adjustment Velcro strapping to keep them in place. Wear them and stand a fighting chance of skipping that painful trip to the hospital, so you can begin the equally painful search for new clipon and rearset on ebay.

These knee guards are pretty large so if you're planning to wear them under your paints then they better be baggy. Also like most protective strap-on guards the straps can take some getting used to on your bare skin.
I definitely feel more protected with them on and they seem well designed from good materials built into a strong final product. Overall I'm very pleased with my purchase. Ordering through Revzilla.com was as always a pleasure.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I ordered these, tried them on for 5 minutes, took them off neatly repacked them and returned them. The best thing i can say about them is that they were built for protecting the rider, not much else. They seemed like they were tough and rigid and would probably protect you should something unfortunate occur. However...
The first and singular problem I had with these is that I have wide feet and these were incredibly narrow. Not only that but they were some of the stiffest boots I have ever put on and tried to walk in. They had zero give. That would be forgivable if the soles created a nice rolling motion when you walked, nope flat as an iron. Think "Heel toe, heel toe" because there's no support between the two.
Another small but telling note is that most modern shoemakers have made some attempt to stylize the tread on their soles. The tread pattern on these is as dull and painful to look at as these boots are to wear.
The final straw was that the top edge was unfinished and the sturdy rough material scraped and irritated the skin as you moved. It was like someone had twisted a long length of aluminum foil into a rope then wrapped the circumference of my caff and shin.
The only I can think that Dainese figured everyone without exception would tuck their pant legs into the top of the boot. The clear message to everyone else then being "we just don't care."
Overall, Immediately awful for more than one reason.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Alpinestars CR-4 Gore-Tex XCR Boot Brand new for Fall 2011, the Alpinestars CR-4 Gore-Tex XCR Boots offer motorcycle protection with hiking-boot style and comfort. They'll get you through the worst of weather conditions thanks to the Gore-Tex XCR waterproof and breathable membrane. Although it is quite a mouthful, the Alpinestars CR-4 Gore-Tex Boots deliver in performance what they lack in brevity. That is to say, we think the Alpinestars CR4 Boots will be some of the most popular motorcycle boots for Fall 2011. Features Upper constructed from a combination of PU coated leather, suede and textile Breathable mesh lining on the collar and tongue and features waterproof and highly breathable GORE-TEX XCR membrane Foam backed, double density impact protector on the both sides of the ankle Internal toe and heel counter are layered under the leather Hiking boot style lace system with metal eyelets and top hooks Wrap-around rubber outsole reinforced with metal shank in the heel and a TPU shank in the Plantar Arch for enhanced rigidity PU coated leather shift area Reflective inserts on the rear of the boot Shock absorbing EVA midsole Mesh lined, anatomically profiled EVA foam footbed

The CR-4 is a great boot. It's comfortable and easy to walk around in, it doesn't weigh a ton, It is cleanly manufactured (no globs of glue on the sued), and the lacing hardware is solidly fixed.
The interior is fully lined with GORE-Tex and when i first put them on the membrane started to pile up right were the outside wall meets the border stitching of the tongue cut. A few minutes working the area flat with my fingers seemed to solve the issue permanently.
I was using some waterproof timberland boots that have the same basic shape and lace up style. My feet got hot because they couldn't breath and I had to learn to manipulate the foot controls more on faith than feel.
The CR-4's are purpose built and because of that I can more easily feel the foot controls. Plus they're GORE-Tex. I wore them all day and although my feet were warm, they were also able to breath and dissipate the heat before things got to funky.
The only slightly negative I have is at 70-90 mph for more than a half an hour on a 30 degree overcast day with socks of a regular thickness my feet definitely got cold. Still going to need to anticipate winter socks if you're planning to ride with these in the stupid cold.
Overall great boots that I'm proud to wear.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This was my first helmet and my first order from Revzilla and I've been using it for almost 3 months now in 95 degree heat and 30 degree cold weather. It's comfortable and has great airflow at speed. Easy on, solid fit with very little excess free play, easy off.
The pin-lock system was a nice included feature as it does eliminate all fogging. But when in the tuck position the top edge of the pin-lock plate is right at the horizon line of my view and is certainly a detractor. Either I have to sit up more to avoid looking through a line of clear glue or get low down and force my chin up as much as possible to see under it. As the pin-lock is removable I can't count that against the helmet.
The shield does remove and replace easily. Over time and after heavy use my shield slowly became difficult to shut needing a lot of force to close from the final position notch. It would refuse to close then pop very loudly and cause me to slam it shut every time. Then after a while it became almost to easy to close. It must be that part of the mechanism has been worn down through use and is perhaps now settled into its long term operation. Either way it is still operational and is safely mounted to the helmet.
A note about it's cool factor, it's a shockingly big helmet. When you first see yourself in a mirror it is a bit discouraging and you feel like you've got a huge Roswell alien-like head. Not nearly as low profile as some other higher priced helmets. But again you get what you pay for.
The weight of it is something to get used to as well. According to my cheap digital food scale my LG weighs 3 lbs 13.3 oz (3.83 lbs). Made my neck soar for the first few weeks. After a month or so i went and tried on a RF-1100 and it was like wearing a baseball cap by comparison. Nice to have built up the support muscles in my neck past where they will need to be for nicer helmets.
Also there's a lot of space in front of your face and chin. For example with the shield fully closed i can stick my entire gloved (Firstgear Mesh Tex 2.0 XL) hand through the bottom of the helmet and touch my eyebrows. This lets in a lot of noise and air when at speed. Everybody's shaped differently but for me the helmet fits snug and perfect around my head where it counts, it is just strange that HJC would prefer that much unused space.
Overall it does what it is supposed to do and after i got used to the weight I had no complaints about the comfort. It was always meant to be a cheap safe helmet for me as a beginner. Something I would eventually upgrade from.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I ordered according to the palm size and the gloves I got were to small in the fingers. I must have abnormally long fingers for my palm size. So I returned them, no problems, and got the next size up.
Great fit, super comfy interior lining. Super warm against 70mph speeds in 40 degree temps. The gauntlet goes well over my synched down Legacy GTX jacket sleeves.
Onto the nit-picking. Coming from FirstGear Mesh-Tex Gloves (zero complaints about those gloves by the way) for my warmer weather riding to these was difficult. Yes they keep my hands warm and are loaded with awesome features and built with quality materials with extreme care.
However the gloves need serious breaking in because they want to stay fingers straight. They do not want to bend. Add that to the severely reduced feel of the controls due to material thicknesses/padding and you've got one heck of a learning curve to overcome.
Still I'm determined to keep riding through the winter and I'm going to make these awesome gloves work for me instead of against me. I'm basically trying to do the same thing I would do to a new baseball glove.
I've stuffed each finger with a twisted finger sized length of paper towel then rubber-banded the glove into a fist. After one night of this method of storage, each glove was 20% easier to close into a fist. Hopefully over time this method will help me get past the break in period.
Yes, I recommend this product.

The first pair I ordered by the chart were to small and I had to return them. Thanks to Revzilla's return policy, no trouble there, just had to wait. The second try fit perfectly. I can get a pair of jeans on underneath these but for comfort sake I just like to wear these while riding and take a pair of jeans in my backpack.
I do wish I had a couple more inches in length on the inseam because they ride up to above the ankle when I get into the saddle. So that's twice I've warned you potential buyers to go for a size or two larger when ordering.
They feel like a cozy sleeping bag when the thermal liner is installed. When it isn't installed the knee armor seesaws on my kneecaps and after a few hours my knees are tender and soar. Not so much of an issue when the liner is in.
Other than that the pants look and feel like they were assembled out of quality products with extreme care and attention to detail.
Middle TN isn't the great white north but it can get brutally cold here. My goal is to keep riding as long as there's traction. These pants along with the GTX jacket should help me achieve that with relative comfort and protection.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This jacket is great. It feels and looks like it is worth every penny. With the thermal liner in it's super cozy. I haven't had it long enough to get rained on so I can't speak on it's waterproofing.
And now for the nitpicking. I only gave it 3 out of 5 for comfort because the collar is more protective than ergonomic. It is stiff and jams itself under your jaw when you look down. I also get some airflow through the neck. I wear a soft scarf and it solves both problems. Also the elbow armor see saws on my elbows when the thermal liner isn't installed. After a few hours the tips of my elbows are pretty tender and soar. Not as big of an issue when the thermal liner is in.
As far as a good winter jacket? absolutely. It keeps me warm without making me clammy. It has lots of armor, and lots of storage room. The venting is easy to open and close while riding. It has a ton of reflective elements. Overall a great jacket for me.
Middle TN isn't the great white north but it can get brutally cold here. My goal is to keep riding as long as there's traction. This jacket along with the GTX pants should help me achieve that with relative comfort and protection.

Size chart is inconsistent with actual sizes
This pant is sold in S/M/L/XL/2XL/ etc., but the RevIt size chart is listed in 48/50/52/54/etc. - how do these correlate? Specifically I'm interested in the tall sizes, I have a 32" waist and 34" inseam.

Armor and detachable thermal
So, can I remove the thermal layer, and still have armor, or does that come out with thermal? Ideally I would like to have outer waterproof shell and armor during summer months, and everything in colder times. Any other pant that does this if not?
