I was looking for a pair of gloves that would work for spring, fall and rainy weather during the summer and being a Held glove fanatic (I have 4 other pairs), I went with these and couldn't be happier.
They are excellent 21/2 season gloves. Warm enough to go down into the 40's, especially with my heated grips, yet not too hot for the 60's. The fit is perfect and the construction excellent. Only thing really missing would be a hard knuckle protector, but that would make it less comfortable and I do like the Superfabric in the heel.
All in all a great glove and I wish I would have waited for the closeout, but even at the regular price an excellent deal.

I was in the market for a pair of boots for everyday use commuting to and from work, but which I could wear there without too many problems. Looked here at the various videos (which are very well done, by the way) and came to the conclusion that this boot would fit the bill.
The positives are it is really comfortable, sharp looking with the style that only the Italians can pull off, with good protection and easy to get on and to take off. Lots of people have complemented me on them, and the toe slider has already had some use!
Only a couple of issues. There is no ventilation at all, so for warm weather this isn't the boot for July and August. Also, as noted in your video, there is no protection for the inner malleolus, which would be nice.
All in all a good everyday boot with Italian style and great Revzilla service. Thanks!

I was in the market for a new mesh jacket this summer and after looking around I settled on the Solare. The Revzilla review was excellent and I have had AGV Sport products in the past, so I ordered the grey one.
I must say I am very happy with the jacket. It is slightly tight (as I usually take a large, that is what I ordered, but it is a bit tight in the gut; guess I have some weight to lose!), but the airflow is very impressive. The jacket is very well made, with excellent zippers and the buttons on the cuffs and near your neck are rubberized; a nice touch.
One thing I wasn't expecting is the liner. In the video it was said there isn't a liner, but the one I received had a waterproof liner, which is really water proof! With the liner installed, made a bit easier as the sleeves have color coated snaps, it is even tighter, but it does allow the jacket to be used even in slightly cooler or wetter weather.
Overall, if you are in the market for a good mesh coat, give this one a try. You will definitely like it. Highly recommended.

Decided that I needed a new helmet as my Bell Star helmet was seemingly breaking down (though that is another review). Considered getting a Shoei, Shark or Arai, but I remember I have always had good results with AGV helmets so I checked out all the reviews. Listened to the Revzilla review and bought the K4 EVO with the black Explorer graphics..
I must say I am very pleased with my decision. The helmet is extremely light, quiet and very comfortable. The shield mechanism is as easy as my Bell or older Shoei, which is the gold standard. The helmet is beautifully finished, the graphics are excellent and the liner is soft and nice against the skin.
Is it perfect? Of course not. The air flow could be better and I wish the chin vent would vent air through the chin bar, but that is a minor point and it is nice that there is some serious padding in that area, helping with safety. It is also a bit small and I needed to go up a size to an XL, when I usually take an L in other brands, such as Shoei or Bell.
All in all I think the K4 EVO is an excellent value and a great helmet. Highly recommended!

Had these boots for 3 years and they only recently wore out. They weren't the most stylish boots out there, but did the job and were comfortable both on and off the bike. Only issue was the side zipper on one boot, which would catch now and then, though only after a couple of years of pretty regular use. Pity they are no longer made, but it was a nice shoe for a reasonable price.

I needed a pair of new boots to replace my old boots, which finally wore out after 3 years. Looked around and decided on the Teknic one after a pretty fair amount of research. Appreciated Revzilla's video review of the boot, so decided to buy a pair.
Needless to say, I'm a new fan. Have worn these to work everyday this week and am very happy with my choice. They are comfortable, look good and have more protection than I thought they would. I was worried about the laces, but they are easy to put on and the strap over them keeps them away from the bike. Temperatures have varied from the upper 30 degrees to nearly 70, and they have been fine with no real heat issues and keeping my feet warm when it was cold. I haven't gotten them wet yet, but I am sure they'll be better than my old boots, which weren't waterproof at all. As it is only a week, I can't comment on the durability, but so far it looks like they'll last for quite a bit. Good job, Revzilla for carrying a great boot at an affordable price.

Bought these a few years back as a cool-cold weather waterproof glove. First of all they aren't very warm, but even worse they aren't waterproof. First rain I got caught in and they were waterlogged in less than 15 minutes and my hands got both wet and cold. Thereare a lot better options out there, so I would give these a pass...

Have these gloves for the warmer weather. Was wearing them last June when a car decided to turn left in front of me. Unfortunately, I couldn't completely swerve around her and clipped the rear of the car. Went down, but the gloves did their job and my hand was fine. Didn't even mess up the glove more than a slight scratch on the knuckle protector, so I was able to use it for the rest of the season. Will be using them again this year and won't worry about my hands. Highly recommended!

Bought this jacket to replace an old Joe Rocket one. I selected this one as it has a removable waterproof liner, so I can get good air flow in warmer weather, but still be waterproof as needed. I've had it now for a bit more than 3 months and it is the best jacket I have ever owned. Very comfortable, good air flow without the liner, yet warm and comfy with it installed. Plus I can easily wear my electric gear underneath and this becomes a great jacket for all seasons except high summer, when mesh is needed. Excellent jacket and a great value.

Bought this glove for the late fall through early spring riding season. Liked the fact that I could use the glove with or without the fleece liner, which is quite warm and should be good into the 30 to 40 degree range. Due to the liner, you have be be sure you get the correct size. I usually take a medium (size 8) in either Alpinestar or Held, but this is a more American sizing and I wear a small (which is labeled size 8).
Interior is nice and warm, though I wish the lining was a bit smoother, as this can feel a bit rough. You get used to it pretty quick. Not sure how they will hold up, but the go great with my Scorpion XDR jacket. Plus Revzilla service was excellent as usual.

Could my visor be defective?
I purchased this visor with my Bell RS1 and it fogged right away on its first use and still fogs up. Could it be defective?
I have a Star with the gradient visor, but the same holds true for yours. Visors fog up. I use an antifog treatment, such as Clarify, and that helps. But even with that I often crack the shield up to the defog position with the lever on the side. Fog goes away when I move, which is what is important. Hope this helps and ride safe.
