REVIT Women's Ventura Jacket Serious equipment for the serious female rider. The REVIT Ventura Ladies jacket includes all of the important safety and practical features of a top-of-the-line adventure jacket, but with some specific features that enhance the comfort level even more. A good example is the waterproof, detachable liner, which can be easily removed and stowed away in the back pocket. Huge two-way zippers at the sleeves, and a fully removable collar that hides a big air mesh panel, allow the wind to flow in freely. Bottom line The worlds first true ladies adventure jacket. Ready for Paris but made for Dakar.

I've had other jackets which claimed they were womens' cut but were actually just sizes smaller from the men's cut. after getting this jacket i fell in love with it! it fits well and looks great. i was a little skeptical about the breast vents, but when I had them open the air circulated around to my back. The venting is wonderful. I am very happy with this purchase. It's worth the money to have something that fits right.

This is my second Olympia summer jacket. This jacket fits very well and compliments a woman's figure. Previous jackets made me look a bit man-ish when fully dressed up for riding, but this one leaves not doubt that there is a female under all the armor. I personally can vouch for the durability of the materials as well. My last Olympia summer jacket saved my skin during a crash, I had no marks to show for it. This being made of the same material will be just as protective as the last. I am so very pleased with this gear, and for the price it's a helluva steal.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I have been riding for 25 years. For 3 of those years I did not own a 4 wheeled vehicle and lived in the North East. So that meant a ton of cold weather riding.
I still ride as long as it is above 25.
Normally, that means a lot of layers and hiding behind my windscreen.
I bought this on the recommendation of my girlfriend, who is a first year rider. Guess I had a lot to learn, as this is the way to ride in the cold.
It was not terribly cold, but was around 50 degrees and clammy and at night. Normally this is call for the thermal liner in my jacket and a sweatshirt. I rode 2 hours in a tshirt with the gerbing liner under my jacket.
I can only describe the feeling like a warm hug. I was so comfortable, it felt like a ride on a summer evening. I had a lot of warmth on my back and rear of my arms. It struck me as odd, until I moved around a bit and realized the liner was not in contact with my chest and front of my arms. As soon as I put those parts in contact with my body, the heat was flowing.
Love the product, love the concept, and look forward to more comfortable riding in the cold weather this year.

Gerbing's Coil Cord Extension Coax male plug on one end and a 90 coax female plug on the other end. Just like the cord that connects a phone to the handset, this extension provides for a greater range of motion. 1 ft compressed length stretches up to 4 feet total length.

This allows you to put your heated gear connector out of the way, and gives you freedom of movement when plugged in. First time I rode with my gear plugged in, I got monkey butt and stood up on the pegs to stretch. Oops, unplugged myself.
Bought this item, and no such problem.
Also use this in conjunction with my X moto jacket and the gerbing battery. Put the battery in the back pouch, connect to the liner via this extender, and have a warm jacket for walking around with. Great set up.

I bought these pants after buying a BMW F800ST which generates heat in the left leg. The pants have superior ventilation being mesh pants and all. The Cordura feels good against the leg (I wear spandex under the pants in 90+ degree weather) and is of course highly durable. The armor feels good and is adjustable to suit people of all heights. They fit well and are feminine, there's no mistaking I'm female when riding. The inside liner is decent although when riding in steady rain my upp legs did get a little wet. I am now a very loyal Olympia customer.
Yes, I recommend this product.
