I've had these about a month now, and they are just starting to break in. They are getting nice and comfortable, but definitely a bit stiffer then everyday touring or commuter boots (I've been wearing a pair of TCX X5).
Of course the trade off is much better protection. As I've found myself riding a lot more off road, I figure better to have it.
Mine haven't started to squeak ...yet, but I'll just lube them up and not worry about it.
The fit and finish is quite good. I've already gotten caught in a Northwest down pour, and my feet were kept good and dry.
One draw back is I really had to readjust my foot controls, as they tend to be a bit big and clunky. This makes it harder to switch between different boots.
Overall, these are a great piece of kit.

As I live in the pacific northwest, I have had too much time in this jacket...! But so far the quality is great, and the few hot days we've had this year have been much more enjoyable because of the REVIT Air.
I'm 6'1", 175lbs. (with long arms) and I got an XL. The fit is good, but not perfect. The arms are just long enough, but the torso is a bit big (loose), but it will allow a sweat shirt, if I get caught out on a cool evening.
I put 4 stars for durability, since it's an unknown to me...
I would definitely recommend upgrading the back protector.
The jacket is very sharp looking, I've been given many compliments on it already.

SAS-TEC Back Protector Cutting edge SAS-TEC material is intelligent armor constructed from visco elastic soft foam smart molecules. It has earned the highest CE rating available (CE level 2), during an impact, the armor freezes and hardens, absorbing the shock and distributing its force over a large area to reduce the risk of fractures. The protector is not destroyed by impact, but reverts back to its original state and maintains its capability to protect from multiple impacts. SAS-TEC Armor has a soft and pliable exterior (as opposed to rigid KNOX armor) which offers a great deal of comfort and mobility. This protector is anatomically designed and fitted to provide superior spine and back protection as well as the base of the neck /between the shoulder blades. SC-1/11 fits Women's Turbine Jacket SC-1/12 fits REV'IT! Cayenne Pro Jacket and Turbine Jacket REV'IT Gore-Tex Jackets have different shaped back protector pockets depending on the size of jacket, see the size chart for fitment information SC-1/16 should only be used for XYL or larger Gore-Tex Jackets SC-1/11 Measurements (approximate) Height 15 3/4 Width (at widest point) 13 Thickness 3/4 SC-1/12 Measurements (approximate) Height 19 Width (at widest point) 13 Thickness 3/4 SC-1/16 Measurements (approximate) Height 21 3/8 Width (at widest point) 13 3/8 Thickness 3/4

You just can't beet this stuff. I bought this for a REVIT jacket, but ended up installing it in another brand (Triumph Adventure).
Have to modify a bit. Easy to do with sharp blade and scissors.
The pad feels a bit heavy when held in your hand, but unnoticeable when on your back, and conforms really well with some body heat.

Bought these about a month ago, after trying the A-Star Scouts. The Scouts were a bit too snug, and also too much boot for everyday riding. As I live in ever wet Portland, I need my gear to be pretty waterproof. These boots fit the bill, as my first ride in the was very wet, but my feet were warm and dry. Nice. I've also rode in about 80*-85*, with some thing merino cycling socks and they have been pretty comfortable. Much hotter than that, and your feet might get a bit toasty.
I wear 11.5 in sneakers, and got the 11 in these. They are perfect in the length, and very roomy everywhere else (good for thick socks in the cold). I replaced insoles with some Superfeet, and I have no trouble spending a whole day in these, both on the bike and on my feet.
Great everyday boots.
As always, REVZILLA is great to deal with. Super helpful customer service!

How warm is this boot?
I am looking for a winter boot that I can keep my toes from freezing up and going numb. How cold can this boot be comfortably used? I am in Surprise, AZ and get temps down to the 20s at times in the winter. I also occasionally go to Prescott and Flagstaff where temps are much lower.
I've owned these for a while now, and I must say they are great boots. I live in the Pacific Northwest, where it doesn't get really cold (maybe down in the 30s, but pretty rare), but it is WET! These boots have kept nice and dry through it all, and on the cold days I've used some good Merino Wool socks for warmth. For me, everything has been fine.
These boots are not overly insulated though. If your are going to spend a lot of time in the COLD, I would recommend planning on extra layers or heated socks. Also, some good silicone boot sealant over the toe area might help.

How high do these boots rise in front and back?
I currently wear a military type boot @ 9 inches high, I Prefer a higher cut to low cut boots.
I would guess these to be about the same as your military boots. They're a mid-height boot, not as tall as a MX style, but they do have some good chin and ankle protection.
