Wolfman Expedition Dry Duffel Bag Wolfman went all out on these duffels and came up with a great series of roll-top, 100 waterproof bags, designed specifically for motorcycle use. Wolfman upgraded the fabric to 22oz Vinyl for the body and incredible 34oz for the sides and uses a waterproof webbing for the top opening to prevent water wicking into the bag. Wolfman alos uses a new innovative design which allows the bag to expand easier, making loading and unloading a breeze. Features 100 Waterproof radio frequency welded seams Ultra tough 22oz vinyl body and 34oz vinyl sides. (For years of use.

I bought it prior to going on an 8 day trip in Costa RIca. I managed to mount the medium bag on an XR250 Tornado without a rack by putting the straps on the grab handles. The medium is over 40 liters - in retrospect I should have gotten a small because I will mostly use it on my CRF230L or other dirt bikes (I have a Givi hard case setup on my VFR). The quality of the Wolfman bag is much better than the Givi 40 liter dry bag that my friend had with him. I highly recommend it!

I am 5'8" and 135# with about a 38" chest and the small fits very well, like a European cut. It is warm and is supposed to be both water and wind resistant. Haven't tried it in the rain, but have worn it also without a jacket. Seems well constructed, warm and thin. Would highly recommend it as it is much less expensive than the Rev'it! equivalent (and I have mostly Rev'it! gear at home)

So, I have switched to Dainese pants from Rev'it as Rev'it seems to be tailoring more to the American market lately. I lost some weight and have a 28" waist (5'8" and 135 lbs). Rev'it size small is too small and even the latest XS didn't seem much smaller than S and was too big. I bought these pants in Euro 44 and these are very snug with the liner in. Very good looking and comfortable. I have not had a chance to ride them as the weather was still good and I have many pants (gear junky!), but I think I am slowly converting to Dainese for my textiles as the cut is definitely more European than Rev'it (as of late).

I have the red and black edition. Got it on sale/clearance at Revzilla. Added the optional back protector. I have a Dainese with perforations so wanted something warmer which this is. It is great to go on rides in town when we go out. I have gotten complimented on this jacket multiple times. Fits nice and snug - European cut. Great buy at the price I purchased it!

Looks great, price is good and has the bubbles to keep cool. Two straps - abdominal and chest. A Dainese bag for this price! It is also not too big, which is what I wanted. Durability is to be determined, but so far happy with the purchase. Came in from Italy to Revzilla and to my home in about 7 days - not bad!

I am the happy owner of the Desmo GTX and the Flat V2 from Puma. I wanted something a little less aggressive for the street and with more protection than the Flat V2. I noticed the 33% off sale and got excited. Fit is a little longer than my other two - I probably could have bought a 42 where my other two Pumas are 43. There is no zipper - only Velcro for closure. The upper boot feels pretty rough against the skin. All in all, probably would have gotten the model in between the desmo and the model I got.

REV'IT! Cayenne Pro Pants
REV'IT! Cayenne Pro Pants When REV'IT introduced the new Cayenne Pro Jacket , they were tasked with developing an equally strong pair of pants the CAYENNE PRO pants. All of the product improvements incorporated in the jacket, such as weight reduction, improved insulation properties and stitch reducing laminated reflection and Super fabric panels have also been incorporated in the new CAYENNE PRO textile pants. These pants can be zipped to the jacket by a short or an all around 360 degree connection zipper. For the serious commuter or adventure / touring rider, this is the pair of pants that will fulfill your needs . Available in standard, long and short leg lengths, the Cayenne Pro Pants will zip with any current model men's REV'IT Jacket. While made to work specifically with the Cayenne Pro Jacket, the Cayenne Pro Pants also function very well when paired with the REV'IT Sand Jacket or REV'IT Dragon Jacket. PROTECTION FEATURES Outershell DuPont Cordura 500D, DuPont Cordura1000D, SuperFabric Insulation detachable Exkin lining Protection SAS TEC CE protection, Temperfoam hippadding, double textile seat Waterproofing detachable REVIT! Hydratex 3-layer membrane Breathability detachable REVIT! Hydratex 3-layer membrane Visibility laminated reflective panels ERGONOMIC FEATURES Fit pre-shaped close fit Adjustability adjustable waist, stretch panels at the knee and back Ventilation ventilation zippers on the upper leg Features short and long connection zipper Pockets 2 slit pockets A commonly asked question we get is what is the difference between the Cayenne Pro Pants and the Sand Pants Both are high-end 4-season pants, but the difference is in the materials used. The Cayenne Pro's use an Exkin thermal liner, shown to have half the weight / thickness of the Dupont liner in the Sand Pants. The Cayenne Pro's use SAS-TEC armor, and the Sand uses Pro-Life and while both are CE level 2, the SAS-TEC armor is softer (only turning hard on impact) and more comfortable. The last major difference is the use of SuperFabric on the impact areas in the Cayenne Pro.
Sizing
How do the size small pants compare to the Sand small pants? I have recently lost weight and went from a 30" waist to a 28" waist and the size small Sand is too big (somewhat get by when I zip it to the jacket). Do these pants have more waist adjustment than the Sand pants?

Does this jacket have perforations anywhere or is it a solid jacket?
I have a Dainese jacket already that has some perforations and 3D bubble, so I am all set for the Boston summer and early fall/late spring. Would like some leather jacket for temps 35-60 degrees
