I originally ordered the Silverstone t-shirt in a Large. The Revzilla staff suggested I order the t-shirt in an Extra-Large due to the European fit and I changed the order accordingly.
Even in the Extra-Large the t-shirt is tight across the chest and shoulders. So I exchanged the Extra-Large for a 2XL. The 2XL has a bit more room in the shoulders and chest so it's a better fit.
My biggest complaint with the shirt though is how thin the material is. It's not sheer by any means, but it's just a thin, lightweight cotton material.
So although the t-shirt has a lot of style, it's not a shirt that I would recommend.

Ordered both a Medium and a Large in the Jerez gloves in order to see which would fit best on my moderately short-fingered hands.
The Medium turned out to be just a bit too small as the hard parts on the top side of the fingers caused some discomfort.
The Large is just a little on the roomy side. But all in all the fit is very comfortable and similar to my Phantom GTX gloves.
The design, style and quality of the gloves is very high.
I haven't had a chance to ride in the gloves yet but I'm certain they'll meet my expectations based upon my past experience with Rev'It products.

Stingray is designed specifically to help you walk away from a high-speed crash. The Engineered skin design is executed to today's highest technical standards.

A removable, washable, anti-static, and moisture-managing inner lining comes standard. In short, the Stingray has it all.

Ordered a Rev'It Stingray suit in a size 52 after previously ordering the Dainese Laguna Seca Pro suit in both a size 52 and a size 54.
The Laguna Seca Pro suit was the top suit on my list after listening to the recommendations of the Revzilla staff. Unfortunately the Laguna Seca Pro suit was either too short in the torso or too small in the shoulders as I was unable to get it completely up and over my shoulders which of course meant I was unable to close the main zipper. It's a shame because that was a great looking suit.
The Stingray suit arrived last week. Admittedly I'm not quite as excited about the styling of the Stingray suit as I was the Laguna Seca Pro. But I'm just as excited about the technical features and the build quality.
I'm also excited by the slightly longer torso and fuller fit. I'm roughly 6 feet tall and 175 lbs. The suit is snug in the upper body and a little loose in the thighs and seat.
Initially it was also very tight in the lower legs. In fact, I was almost unable to zip the main zippers in the legs. It turned out the pant legs were being held up too high on my leg by the positioning of the adjustable knee armor. Once I raised the knee armor an inch or so it lower the pant leg to its correct position and I was able to close the main leg zipper with no further problems.
It's a beautiful suit with a lot of very nice features. The fit and finish are very good. The abundance of perforation and stretch materials should make the suit very comfortable once I'm able to take it out on the bike and to the track.

Bought the Tactical Shorts and have worn them during the last year. I haven't had to test their protective qualities in a crash, but I have tested their comfort qualities on long rides. The padded seat definitely helps to reduce some of the vibration on the bike and the compression material helps to reduce some of the muscle fatigue in the legs.
All in all, I'm very satisfied with the product.

Bought the TRQ Tour Gore-Tex boots and have used them for a year. They're been perfect for every occasion (e.g. street and track).
They were comfortable right out of the box and have stayed comfortable over the last year.
They show very little wear and tear, they function as described, they're nice looking on and off the bike, and were a good value.

Bought the Laguna Seca Pro in both a size 52 and a size 54. I was sure one of those two sizes would fit me when wearing the Forcefield Extreme Harness Elite back/chest protector. Unfortunately the upper portion of the Laguna Seca Pro suit is just a bit short for my upper torso. As a result I couldn't get the suit up and over my shoulders far enough to be able to zip the front of the suit.
Revzilla shipped out a size 52 which I returned for a size 54. When the size 54 also wouldn't fit we decided the shape/proportions of the suit simply weren't going to work for me (5' 11" and 175 lbs) even though I'm able to wear a size 50 in a Dainese jacket.
It's a shame as the Laguna Seca Pro is a beautiful suit with many outstanding features.

Purchased the Forcefield Extreme Harness Elite back/chest protector. Product seems to be very well-made, fits nicely, and is generally comfortable.
I haven't had a chance to take it out on the bike yet due to the winter weather in the Midwest. But I'm expecting it to work well for both street riding and track days.
At 5' 11" and 175 lbs both the Small and Medium fit me well. I ultimately went with the Small in order to have just a little less protective gear to stuff inside a one-piece race suit.

Question for fitment (short guy)

Hello, I'm planning on purchasing a dainese laguna seca pro. I'm honestly confused since I fall between two numbers of sizes. my hieight would be less than a 46 and my chest would be a 48.

I'd really appreciate any help from someone who falls in the same measurements range as me. or some of the helpful experienced revzilla representatives too.

here are all of my measurements:

Height 165 cm, 5'5 -5'6 feet/inches
outseam 104 cm, 40.9 inches
hips 90 cm, 35.5 inches
waist 82 cm, 32.2 inches
chest 92 cm, 36.22 inches
inseam 74 cm, 29.1 inches <== ( could be a bit more )

Thank you so much in advance,
Omar
Omar:

I'm not sure if this will help you as I'm not the same size as you. But I do have a little experience with test fitting the Laguna Seca Pro suit. The Laguna Seca Pro suit seems to run a bit small in the upper torso.

I wear a Dainese Portland 2 jacket in a size 50 and can fit my chest/back protector under it with no problem.

On the other hand, I was unable to get into either a size 52 or size 54 Laguna Seca Pro suit as I was unable to get it completely up and over my shoulders and close the main zipper. It seemed as if the upper torse was a little short for me or the shoulders were a little small for me (and I'm not necessarily a big guy).

The staff at Revzilla should be able to help you with sizing as they have a lot of experience.

Good luck!
