I got these boots as a more casual option to my Rival boots. I love them! Just like the Rivals, this sole is so comfortable. I think these are great for around town, on and off the bike. They flow air and breathe well, making them really comfortable in hot weather. Personally, I can walk around in them all day and don't bother to change shoes at work. Even in the Louisiana winter, they are warm enough for a long ride.
The feel of the footpegs, brake and shifter is excellent. As is the protection, which comes above the ankle. Really nice height to be comfortable but still feel secure and safe.
I already knew about people's frustration with the Velcro/lacing when I bought them, so I was prepared for this. The Velcro does want to close as you lace them, but I just attach it to the side as I'm lacing and it's fine. Overall, it really is a pretty clean and easy to use system to keep the laces secure and out of the way. I like it better than other boots I've seen where laces are visible, etc.
I would never wear any other gear but Rev'it, and these don't disappoint at all. Very happy with them.

First, I'm 5'11", 150 lbs and I fit in a Small. Some people said I'd be a medium, but they are wrong. I had concerns when buying this expensive jacket and pants but after I started using it, my concerns went away. It fits well, a little tight with all liners in but quite comfortable with only the windproof/waterproof or none in. I rarely use the thermal liner anyways, too puffy, I prefer to use my own insulating layers. I initially disliked the zippers at the wrists, but they are convenient. Rev'it has added little locking things on them so they don't ride up. The jacket vents great too. All the zippers actually let air through when riding, even when they are not open. So in contrast to the Cayenne Pro, which I also have, the sand vents better and is not as warm. The fabric is also more comfortable and less stiff than the Cayenne Pro, though not as abrasion resistant. I got the silver pants with this, and I warn you people might call you a Stormtrooper or say "Ground control to Major Tom". The silver pants got dirty but the silver jacket stayed pretty clean, so I advise going for a combo with black pants. I'm sold on Rev'it its the best stuff. And since Revzilla are the Rev'it experts, this is where I will shop.
Pros Rugged, Fashionable, Comfortable
Yes, I recommend this product.

This was my first motorcycle jacket. Now I have a few others including a $450 Rev'It jacket and I still think this jacket is an excellent value for the money. Everything is going to feel a little cheap, like the crunchy fabric, zippers, liner, but come on, look at the price! Here is what it does have that I like: Comfortable armor that looks effective, beefiest stock back pad I've seen (the back pad that comes on better jackets like Rev'It is often a joke piece of thin foam, requiring a costly upgrade. Not this one), subdued looks (I have the Grey), cuff adjuster and zipper which stays put and isn't uncomfortable to the skin, excellent venting which includes, front, arm and rear vents. Front vents button to each-other and create air scoops, a very nice feature that jackets triple the Atomic's price could benefit from! Liner keeps you relatively warm and is easily removable, good range of adjustment in the waist and arms, storm flap underneath front zipper to keep rain and wind out, four loops to secure jacket to pants, water resistant front pockets and an inner pocket for sunglasses, fit is descent and comfortable in riding position. Once again, good value. If you're willing to spend more, look at Rev'It, because there is a world of difference in fit and quality, but you pay for it.
Pros Great Value, Comfortable, Rugged
Yes, I recommend this product.

The GIRI glove, designed for off-road and tour sportive riders, features the same functionalities as the COMET, with one exception the GIRI has a rubber knuckle part, instead of a hard-shell carbon knuckle. This lightweight glove is also constructed from soft materials with climate-control characteristics that ensure good ventilation and breathability. PROTECTION FEATURES Outer shell goatskin, PWRshell 500D stretch, heavy Spandex, Automan stretch Lining tri-fleece liner Composition outer shell 50 leather, 35 polyamide, 11 polyester, 4 other fibres lining 100 polyester Protection PU injected knuckle, EVA foam at fingers, knuckle, thumb and palm ERGONOMIC FEATURES Fit tour fit Adjustability adjustment tab at cuff Ventilation ventilation panels at fingers, palm and backhand Features short cuff length

I love the gloves, I love Rev-It

I love these gloves, they are a great value. They are perfectly designed. They look great, feel great, the cuff is the perfect length. They are good in the summer, obviously don't breathe as well as a mesh glove but just right in my opinion, I anticipate wearing them into the fall and in the spring. The protection is there, the rubber feels adequate and I would not have gone for the Comet after having these. Someone said the seams hurt their fingers- well, they do fit tight, which I like, and they did jam my fingers a little, but it went away after a week or two, no complaints! I would recommend ordering up one size if in doubt. Finally, Rev-It is absolutely the BEST. Their gear is oodles ahead in fit, style and quality than anything else I've tried. These gloves make my Joe Rocket gloves look like silly toys, and for less money.

REV'IT! CR Textile Jacket
For the light motorcycle or vintage guzzi or even the scooter rider, the retro-style CR jacket is an excellent choice. The matte finish of the jacket looks good on the bike and off, thanks to a light coating on the outside of the material. The textile CR's mesh lining is very comfortable, even over bare arms, making this a jacket you won't want to take off. PROTECTION FEATURES Outer shell PWRshell polycotton, Lorica Insulation detachable thermal bodywarmer Protection Knox CE protection, EVA foam ERGONOMIC FEATURES Fit city fit, regular shape Adjustability adjustment tabs Features jeans loop, double front zipper Pockets slit pockets, inner pockets
Are the sleeve zippers locking?
I had experience with one of these jackets when they first came out, the zippers would ride up. On my Sand jacket, the sleeve zippers are a different kind that lock- and work great. Has Rev'it fixed this issue on the current CR jacket?
