Great lock but will not go around your tire or at least not mine, bmw g 650 gs. I use it it through several spokes of my bike with the on guard chain. I would like to see a protector for the key hole.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Great helmet but my wife measured to me be a medium and ended up with an XL and still a bit tight. Rev was great with the exchanges and I actually felt bad sending the helmets back until we got the right fit. Aver all very happy. My wife rides a couple of times a yera so this is great protection.
Yes, I recommend this product.

These gloves have good/very good protection for the winter but my fingertips get slightly cold. I have only used them on very cold days and I ride in NYC. Over all happy with the gloves but price is a bit high.

Alpinestars SMX-2 Air Carbon Gloves With carbon protection and motocross inspired styling and comfort, the Alpinestars SMX2 Air Carbon glove makes an excellent choice for summer motorcycle riding Utilizing an advanced leather and mesh hybrid construction, Alpinestars SMX-2 Air Carbon Glove offers the street rider superior comfort and performance while the carbon fiber knuckle and Clarino reinforced palm ensures high levels of protection. Lightweight hybrid leather and mesh upper construction offers the ideal combination of durability, abrasion resistance and comfort. Synthetic leather palm construction with Clarino reinforcements provides extra durability and protection where it is needed most. Reinforced landing zone with built in foam padding offers additional impact protection Sizing Note If you are in between sizes order a size larger, in RevZilla's experience these gloves fit slightly small.

I got this as my commuter jacket in NYC. I have it in red to match my BMW G 650 GS and it works great. As of today 11/13/12 I don't even have the liner in it. The vents in the summer work great and I plan on using it through the winter. Jacket is heavy but makes you feel safe. Worked well in light rain as well. Liked it so much I got one for my wife.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I just bought this helmet in a medium. My head circumference is 22 inches/56.5 cm, but the cheekpads are very constrictive.

Would buying large size cheekpads to replace the medium provide more comfort around my face, so that I don't feel so claustrophobic? Are the helmets all the same size with different sized linings/cheekpads? Could the large cheekpads fit with a medium lining?
My wife measured 22 1/2 and we ended up with the XL with standard pads.

Comfort and protection

Would these be considered as the most comfortable/most protection when it comes to foot safety. I want a boot/shoe that has the most protection and comfort. I would be using them everyday walking around campus so I wouldn't want them to be uncomfortable. I was also looking at the Cortech Latigo Boots and considering them but wondering if they would be comfortable off the bike.
they are not a boot so protection is comprimised but as a balance I think this is a good one. Not sure if they would feel great walking around campus all day though. I do like the proctection comfort balance and use them to commute to work but I change into sneakers at work. Hope this helps
