(Quick-Release Self-Adjusting) base plate allows for tool-less shield removal and installation.

Great face shield, for what I paid for my Quest it should have been included. About every two weeks I have to gently press it to the face shield else it fogs up. Rode in Northern VA weather as cold at 16F.

Thanks to Tito and the team at the Philly store I have this great suit, I am 74 inches tall but needed to go to 3XL due to the inside suit size, but this has great adjustments and fits great. The legs have built in hem ability but I am holding off on that now. Rode in cold but dry 38 degree weather in Virginia, with the liner and a base layer and was warm and comfortable. My first suit and very affordable and no sales tax. I have the High Vis color.

REV'IT! Glacier Pants Complementary to the GLACIER shirt, these round knitted pants are purpose-built for colder days. The pants are made of a mixture of strong polyamide and stretch elastane, and treated with an anti-bacterial finish to maintain freshness. Soft and comfortable, the GLACIER pants feature extra insulating areas at the thighs, knees, shins, and crotch, which are essential for locking out the cold during winter rides. With these pants, all you need is a simple wind-blocking outer shell, without insulation properties, to keep you in the comfort zone. PROTECTION FEATURES Outer shell polyamide Composition 93 polyamide, 7 elastane ERGONOMIC FEATURES Fit regular Features Seamless in 3D round knit technology Insulating function Antibacterial finish Odor control Insulation guards at knee, thigh and shin Airvent zone at hollow of the knee, autofit waist and hem

I have worn these through sub 40 cold mornings and nights both Interstate and Backroads over this past week. Fit great and kept my legs from freezing under my joe rocket kevlar jeans. I thought they would be warmer, as my thighs got cold but not numb. I have only had them a week so cannot comment on durability. Ordered them via the phone, and revzilla was great in delivery and I do think there were worth the higher price Revit has.

I have a 2XL, Tall and it fits great with layers or can use the side adjustments to fit without. I am 6ft2, 240, and wear 18/36 shirts and this jacket fits perfectly. In the hot and humid VA summer, while riding without the panels in, it flows well. The zip in vest is too thin and for cold mornings, its tossed in my closet. Its easy to find on clearance and love it.

The knee protection will not stay in place while on the bike with forward controls, constantly they are sliding outward causing me to reposition them, and although adjustible, they cut into my knees while off the bike. Length and fit are true to my jeans and they look great. The Kevlar is plenty and blocks then wind when riding.

REV'IT! Glacier Long Sleeve Shirt The GLACIER long sleeved mens base layer has been specifically developed for winter use. Through the application of various knitting techniques at strategic areas, a technique known as 'body mapping,' the GLACIER optimally balances insulation with ventilation. A dense knitting structure maximizes insulation where necessary, which is crucial for comfortable winter riding. Meanwhile, moisture management is enhanced at other locations, including under the arms. This helps transport perspiration to the outside of the garment, where it spreads over a wider surface and evaporates more quickly. The result is a base layer shirt that keeps you dry and warm. PROTECTION FEATURES Outer shell polyamide Composition 93 polyamide, 7 elastane ERGONOMIC FEATURES Fit regular Features Seamless in 3D round knit technology Insulating function Antibacterial finish Odor control Air spacer ribs at shoulders Airvent zone at armpit 3D-airvent zone at front chest Insulation guards at elbow and side waist Climate control unit at back, autofit cuffs and hem
Fitting and sizes
Hi
I´m interested in buying the Revit Glacier pant and shirt as base layers for winter riding and a Revit Aztec WSP Shirt as base layer.
Now from the sizing chart I´m bang on an "L", except for 5mm on the waist due to a little belly, which I´m in the process of training away as we speak, but a lot of comments state the Revit line is on the smaller side so my question is would it be wiser to go a size up or not. I like the fit to be tight but not to the point of struggling as that would compromise my sport/race riding.
So any advice would be welcome.
Regards,
Mike
