Rukka R-Star 2-In-1 Gloves The R-Star Gloves feature Rukka's 2-In-1, dual chamber system. The rider can choose between two separate entries, offering direct grip or extra warmth. In the warm chamber, the extra insulation provides optimum warmth over all sides of the fingers. In the grip chamber, the insulation is only on the back of the fingers.

The gear geeks at RevZilla are correct: Order one size up.
Terrific winter gloves, fit is spot on. VERY comfortable, adjustments galore.
Yes, I recommend this product.

In searching out for most versatile gear, I checked these out in the 2012 glove guide as well as the specific guide. Then, I checked out the review below mine. He's absolutely right; more consideration should be given to the hands. And I've already been dealing with a pair for rain/colder & a pair for warmer. So really, not only do you not have to change the Air n Dry's out when the weather changes, but you're saving a lot of $$ since these gloves pull double duty with the greatest of ease.
I'm a long fingered 9, & the Air n Dry's fit me perfectly. And they are sooooo comfortable!
I have to admit I'm a tad old school in my tastes, & I almost gave the Air n Dry's 4 stars in style, but after having them on for awhile & realizing these gloves are ALL business/functionality, keeping that in mind, they look GREAT.
Your hands will thank you.
Yes, I recommend this product.

With info from the ZLA staff & your reviews, I ordered these thinking I'd be sending them back. NOT SO!!
Once I got them on I was totally blown away by how well they fit. Honestly, they feel surprisingly like my NB cross trainers, I jest not. WELL crafted. To me they look great. Easy to get on/off, love the shift pad. Wrapping this part up, these boots are the BEST footwear I own right now.
Now, because of Uall's reviews, here comes my suggestion in order to help someone that's where I was on the X5+ before purchase:
I'm somewhere between 10-10.5 US (closer to 10.5). And I'm not necessarily a wide foot. I personally like the looks of the TCX X5+, but had concerns about the wide footbed. I'll cut to the chase & say knowing what I know now if I had ordered a 44, I would be sending them back because yes, they would've been cavernous. They would've had too much toe room, & my feet would be sliding side to side. These 43's fit me perfectly. Note that the "Fit" & "Footbed" sliders are center.
Aware of our many variations in foot lengths/width, I suggest ordering the TCX X5+ ONE SIZE DOWN. Just give that a shot 1st whether you're in between sizes or maybe a narrower width, or like me; you like the looks but you're just not sure about the fit.
I am one SATISFIED customer. ;-)
Yes, I recommend this product.

I just wanted to get some basic rain pants but with the heat resistant shields ankle to knee. Though somewhat snug on me, I gave them a 5 because they're comfortable, let me move freely without having to be baggy. They FIT, which I find a little surprising for a rain pant. And I guess it's an "eye of the beholder" thing, but I think they look pretty cool.

Yeah! Real deal touring jacket
PostedFebruary 7, 2011
I can't say enough about RevZilla's wonderful customer service. My jacket came FAST.
I had tried the Flex on previous to ordering, so I knew what I was getting. It's everything I was looking for in a jacket. Honestly, I was a little surprised in that it looked/fit better on 2nd impression.
I'm glad the outer shell removes to exposed the mesh jacket because this thing is WARM.
If I were to mention a con, I'd say it's on the heavy side, but again, that's what I wanted, & I do feel very secure/protected in the Flex S2.
Way to go, RevZilla! ;-)

Chatterbox XBi2-H Wireless Intercom
The XBi2-H is the latest bike-to-bike wireless intercom that is equipped with A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) for wireless streaming of stereo music via Bluetooth technology. It allows simultaneous communications between three riders with up to 500 meters (1,640 feet) in optimum conditions. The XBi2-H will allow you to stream audio signal from any source that already comes equipped with Bluetooth such as mobile telephones, MP3, GPS and even an iPod/iPhone when hooked up to a Bluetooth adapter, eliminating the need for cable connections. Features Designed specifically for the new HJC IS-Max BT helmets Backwards compatible with current ChatterBox XBi2 model Communication between three riders up to 500 meters (1,640 feet) Bluetooth A2DP compatible with most mobile phones, MP3 players, GPS, and radar detectors Noise-suppression microphones Hi-fidelity stereo speakers Rechargeable/replaceable lithium polymer battery 6-8 hour talk time, 1-hour express charge Compact waterproof design HJC IS-Max BT helmet and ChatterBox Included XBi2-H Unit Microphone/Speakers Rechargeable/Replaceable Li-Poly Battery Mounting Hardware AC/DC Home Charger Bluetooth Adapters sold separately. Note The HJC Sy-Max 3 is not compatible with the Chatterbox Communication System.
Studied up but still confused....
Now I already know that my iPhone 3G recognizes bluetooth devices which makes me wonder why I would need a bluetooth adapter. My 3G works the same way as the phone used to demonstrate how to get a smartphone to recognize the X-bi2-H in the video, good vid, BTW. So again, do I really need a bluetooth adapter for an iPhone 3G to work the Chatterbox X-bi2-H?

I wear a 10 1/2 M shoe size, what size should i order of the TCX X-Five Plus Gore-Tex Boot
I'm same size as you, Mike. ORDER A 43.
Now RevZilla has a terrific return/exchange policy, so if the 43's are too snug, then move to a 44. But I'm pretty much a 10.5 with not a very wide foot, & the 43's fit me spot on.
Hope that helps.

Can TCX X-Five Plus Gore-Tex Boot, be worn for a long time and walked in for say 4 - 6 hours Comfortably
While on long rides, say 1 to 2 weeks, I would like not to have to pack other shoes. Can a person ware these say for all day and not end up a cripple, haha. While my wife is with me, she likes to shop, which means stopping at places and looking around for hours.
Weeeell, it depends on what you're used to. The X5+ does have a stiff sole, but compared to cowboy boots which I wear frequently, the X5+ sole feels normal to me. I could do them as an everyday shoe though there are folks that couldn't.
