I bought these for a friend for her birthday as everyday riding boots and she likes them, has been using them for about a month now.
Even though they are not the waterproof ones, they do a good job of keeping out water, she was caught in a rain storm and she says her feet didn't get wet. They can be kind of slippery on a slick surface though.
The heat of the engine has changed the color of the suede on the inside of the right boot, it's slightly darker.
Nobody realizes they are motorcycle boots, people just think they are sneakers.
Overall they are very nice.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This jacket fits me well, I am 6'3" 185 lbs and got a size 54. I like the style, very subtle but still clearly a motorcycle jacket. I got it more for usage off the bike, and I took the pads out. The only issue I have is that the snaps at the waist to tighten the jacket a little keep coming unsnapped. I may just super-glue them snapped and see if that works. I haven't ridden with it yet so I'm not sure how the airflow is with the perforation, but I think the texture of the leather with the perforation looks just as good or better than the non-perf version (I had them side-by-side in the Revzilla showroom).
Yes, I recommend this product.

The Held Warm N Dry Glove is the choice for cold and wet weather riding. With Superfabric, reinforced knuckles,and high quality leather these comfortable gloves do not compromise protection! The Warm N Dry Gloves also work great with heated grips! The palm is thin enough to allow good feel for the controls and allow the grip heaters to warm your hands, while the lightly insulated back helps to hold in the heat and protect your hands from cold rain and windchill. Glove Outershell Glove Lining Membrane Comfort/Features Safety Palm in goatskin Back in stretch fabric (75 polyamide, 15 polyurethane, 10 others) with leather detailing Pique push-pull lining (100 polyester) Upper part in GORE-TEX Thermoplush Fleece (100 polyester) GORE-TEX membrane, waterproof, windproof and breathable (100 polyester with 100 polyurethane coating) Velcro adjustment at wrists and cuffs Stretch fabric parts (100 polamide) on back Visor wiper Hard plastic knuckle protection, covered with leather Side of hand and ball of the thumb reinforced Side of hand reinforced with SUPERFABRIC brand material Double leather at palm 3M-SCOTCHLITE reflector piping

This to me is a good all-around glove, but it is not a winter riding glove - don't let the "warm" in the name fool you. With heated grips you can go down to maybe 40 or so, without heated grips they won't be comfortable much below 50 degrees at highway speeds. Also I rode with these in hurricane Sandy and my hands were soaked, but I think the water came down from my sleeve rather than soaking through from the outside.
These gloves have a good feel on the grips, and offer good protection. I'm not too warm in them riding in temperatures as warm as 75 degrees. If you need a solid pair of all-around gloves, these may fit the bill.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I just installed these on my 2012 F650GS.
Pros -
Straightforward installation, with a very detailed installation manual and video available online
I'm 6'3" and the bars are out of the way of my knees, the way they drop down from the top mount works well. My legs can touch them but they are not in the way, just feels like any other part of the bike.
They look good installed, seems strong - though I have yet to drop the bike on them. I did lay the bike down gently in my garage on them, see picture. The weight was carried between the crash bars and the rear footpeg.
Cons -
I had difficulty with the alignment of the bars fitting up to my bike. It wasn't off a little bit, it was 1 or 2 inches off in a few places. I had to fight, pull, tug, and swear to get each bolt installed (even taking their advice at every step and not tightening any bolts until the end). I hope I never have to take these off again, or that the metal will adjust to the bike over time so they fit better. I was, eventually, able to get everything in place after one or two cross-threaded bolts and a nearly stripped allen head (that bolt won't be usable again). I would recommend two people for the installation.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Klim Balaclava The lower half is constructed using WINDSTOPPER for complete protection from the wind while the upper half is constructed with Coolmax reducing heat under your helmet and controlling moisture from sweating. A lycra stretch back panel along with ergonomic patterning has created a perfect fitting balaclava. This technical head sock is guaranteed to be the most comfortable head sock you have ever worn.

This helps block the wind a little, but this isn't as warm as I would like - it certainly does not replace the need for a neck warmer / neck gaiter, I still felt a chill underneath the balaclava even in 50 degree weather. This could probably be used in warmer weather if you wanted to keep sweat off your helmet. The helmet goes over top of this pretty easily.

Shoei Neotec Modular Helmet Evolving on previous designs, Shoei has revamped its modular helmet style with a streamlined and attractively sculpted shape that conveys the feel of freely moving through the outdoors in the Shoei Neotec Modular Helmet. Overall shell size is kept compact by incorporating the internal sun visors open/close mechanism inside all ventilation mechanisms are shaped and positioned in such a way as to reduce any possible drag. A redesigned aerodynamic spoiler also helps to cut lift, reducing neck strain on long, cross country rides. In the Shoei Neotec all these features combine to create a premium helmet that excels in appearance, protection, comfort and performance. The Shoei Neotec Helmets chin bar is connected to the same axis point and mechanism as its shield, minimizing extra parts. This also enables simultaneous closing of the shield with the chin bar, which is then held in place with an easy-open lock release button. The shield lock system offers secure closure or the ability to keep the shield slightly open to allow for increased airflow. With the Shoei Neotec Helmet, Shoei now includes a built-in sun shield, the QSV-1. The visor tucks neatly away beneath a non-intrusive shell built into the helmets liner, and can be lowered with the easy control of a sliding button. Shoei Neotec Helmet Features Face Shield Features Easily operable lever mechanism Anti-fog, anti-scratch, 99 UV blocking New Pinlock-ready CNS-1 faceshield Wider and taller than the CX-1V that it replaces Includes Pinlock insert 3D injection molding process ensures a distortion-free view Improved Ventilation and Aerodynamics Newly designed vortex generators pull air through helmet 276 more airflow than Multitec Added inlets and outlets Vents are flush against helmet to maintain aerodynamics 5-Ply Shock-Absorbing Fiber Shell 3 shell sizes AIM Multi-Composite construction Lightweight yet strong Shell-integrated spoiler reduces lift and drag during high-speed riding Dual EPS Liner Multi-density EPS for optimal protection Two vents funnel fresh air through the EPS liner Dual liner channels route and disperse air evenly throughout the helmet EPS liner in chin bar All new interior Fully removable 3D interior liner Top center pad is removable and washable Improved cheekpad design allows better fit with eyeglasses Included chin curtain can be inserted into the chin bar to reduce turbulence and noise All Neotec Helmets sold in the US have a double D-ring closure Be sure to check out our Shoei Neotec Review above, in which we detail and break down all of the features and functionality of the brand new Shoei Neotec Helmet.

I was going to come here to say how good this helmet is but 165 people beat me to it. This is my first "expensive" helmet, I've been using sub-$200 HJC's prior to this.
The sunvisor on this Neotec works better than the ones in the HJC line, the left side control is easier to use than the top of the head, and the visor clears my nose completely (some other helmets it can touch the tip of my nose).
Some people mention the helmet is loud, I didn't notice excessive noise. My engine noise seems quieter than my other helmets. I suspect the noise is because this helmet flows air so well, I've never had vents that had such a direct affect. There is a rear vent that I can't tell much difference between open and closed, but the top vent and front vent both work very well.
With the extra lens on the face shield I have not experienced any fogging at all, in various weather conditions.
Yes, I recommend this product.

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.

I am very thin and was worried that this jacket would be too large in the body. I'm 6'3" 175 lbs and ordered a large. It fits me well once I adjust all of the cinches to pull it on. Sleeve and body length is perfect. Overall it is very comfortable, and roomy enough for its inner liner or a heated jacket. Also the inner liner can be rolled up and stuffed into the rear pocket.
The air flow if fantastic once all the vents are opened up, and you can increase it more by leaving the double zippers partially open (from top and bottom). I wore this on an 80 degree day and I think it could easily go to 90 degrees. It flows almost as much air as my full mesh jacket.
I am very happy with this jacket.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I got the large, and these socks go just about up to my knee. They are thick, which is good in a boot. Just wearing the socks I can feel air flow through them, and wearing them in boots on an 80 degree day my feet didn't feel overly sweaty. The velcro on the boots pulls the material a bit though, I don't know if that's going to be an issue long term, I'll just try to keep them from touching.
I couldn't find this info anywhere online, but it's on the package:
- 65% Hi-Bulk Acrylic
- 20% Worsted Wool
- 15% Stretch Nylon
Yes, I recommend this product.

These pants just didn't fit me properly, I'm tall & thin at 6'3" 175 lbs. The size 32 was too loose at the waist and when I sat on the bike they rode up and were too high on my ankle. Because of this they were uncomfortable at the knee.
Design-wise, another reviewer mentioned the difficulty of lining up the velcro at the bottom of the leg. I agree, I'd rather see the zipper go all the way to the bottom. Also there is a little bit of elastic in the waste, but I'd rather see a cinch of some kind - with a little waist adjustment maybe I could have made them tight enough.
Yes, I recommend this product.

REV'IT! Legacy GTX Gore-Tex Pants Similar to the Legacy GTX Jacket in construction, materials, and membrane technology, the Legacy GTX trousers set the standard for all serious motorcycle enthusiasts. With a removable thermal liner, the Legacy GTX trousers are great to wear in spring and summer as well thanks to the air vent zippers at the upper leg that provide maximum cooling effect via evaporative cooling. With either the short or long connection zipper, the Legacy GTX trousers can be easily connected to any REVIT! jacket. These pants form a recommended combination with the LEGACY GTX Jacket .

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.
