Airwave vs Intake Air

Hi,
Would you please provide a comparison between this Airwave jacket and the Tourmaster Intake Air 2 (build quality, protection, functionality, versatility). I tried the Intake Air on and the 2xl tall fits well and very slight loose. Does the Rev'IT have a comparable size (sleeve length is critical).
Thanks
Doing a full comparison of the REV'IT! Airwave and the Tour Master Intake Air 2 Jacket falls outside what this format can accommodate. If you would like to email us directly at cs@revzilla.com or call us at 877-792-9455, we would be happy to give you more details on both jackets. For comparable sizing, Tour Master runs considerably larger than the REV'IT! brand. If you contact us with measurements, we can make some size recommendations. The Tour Master in 2XL would roughly translate to a 4XL in REV'IT!, but there are no Tall jacket sizes offered by REV'IT!

Is there a denier rating for the mesh fabric used in this jacket?

Unfortunately, REV'IT! only provides the Denier for the textile portion of the jacket, not the mesh portion of the jacket. If you are looking for the highest level of abrasion resistance offered in a mesh jacket, you might consider the REV'IT! Turbine jacket that is made with 1200D Schoeller Dynax mesh.

Alpinestars Ransom Textile Jacket Removable full sleeved vertical quilted thermal liner. Fixed 100 waterproof membrane. Removable CE certified elbow and shoulder protectors. Chest and back pad compartments with PE protective padding (Alpinestars Bionic back and chest guards available as accessory upgrade). Reflective piping on sleeve front and outlining on back of shoulders. High profile collar with overlapping Velcro flap closure. Textile accordion panels on the back of shoulders for flex and a close fit. Neoprene collar and wrists contours. Micro-fleeced collar. Waist connection zipper. Pre-curved and multi panel sleeve construction. Flat, integrated elastic rail waist adjustment. Single thermal liner connection zipper for quicker dis/connection and a clean look. Embroidered Astars logos on shoulders, front central lower edge, and lower mid back. Large Alpinestars logo embroidered on upper back.
 

Looking for flexible back protection that fits in the Alpinestar Ransom Large jacket.

I'm reading the $29.99 does not offer the flexibility and ruins the style of the jacket because it sticks out in the back. I'll pay more if needed. Any suggestions?
The Alpinestars Ransom jacket will also accommodate the Alpinestars Bionic Air Back Protector.

REV'IT! Ignition 2 Jacket How can you improve on a jacket that's already considered one of the most multi-functional, 3-season, leather mesh styles You dig deeper and make it even better. REV'IT! proudly presents the REVIT Ignition 2 jacket without a doubt the most versatile leather mesh jacket available on the market. Its 3-in-1 layer system enables you to transform it from a 3-season, waterproof, and insulated touring jacket to a full airflow summer mesh jacket, simply by removing the separate layers included.

Size?

I'm a 38.5 inch chest since the cut changed should I go for a 50 instead of a 48? I have a Rev'it CR Textile 48 that fits me fine, but that's probably because its worn in.
If you are wearing a REV'IT! CR Textile jacket, they are sized alpha numerically, not Euro numeric sizing. It's likely that you are either a medium or a large. If you have a REV'IT! CR Leather jacket that fits you comfortably in size 48, then I would recommend the same size in the Ignition 2. If you are wearing a size Large in the REV'IT! CR Textile, I would recommend a size 50 in the Ignition 2.

REVIT Horizon HV Jacket The REVIT Horizon HV jacket has exactly the same protection and comfort features as the Horizon. The only difference is the high-visibility outer shell, made of 600D polyester CE-EN471 certified fabric, with additional reflection panels at critical areas. This helps you stay more visible while the REVIT Horizon HV is protecting you from the heaviest rain, or keeping you cool when the sun is high and the temperature is rising. This versatility comes from a truly unique solution, engineered by the REV'IT! development team a large airvent panel, featuring a 3D mesh rear panel, which can be sealed to 100 waterproof in a second, even while riding. This innovative sealing system is laminated into the chest panel of the 2-layer, high-visibility outer shell. You will not find this technology anywhere else on the planet.

Will this jacket take the Sas-Tec back armor?

This jacket is equipped with a pocket designed to take the Knox TP2. If you wish to put a SaS-Tec back protector in this jacket, it will require some modification.

Protection?

How does this jacket compare to the Turbine for protection? Assuming both were upgraded to sas-tec back.
From an abrasion resistance standpoint, the Ignition 2 is better because leather is used in conjunction with the Dynax mesh. Although the Turbine is equipped with SuperFabric panels, they are only on the elbows and does not cover as much surface area as the leather in the Ignition 2.

 REV'IT! Turbine Jacket
REV'IT! Turbine Jacket
The TURBINE is a must-have for the everyday rider looking for a premium protective summer mesh jacket. The goal in developing the Turbine was to create a 'bomb-proof' mesh jacket. With Pro-Life armor for impact resistance, and SuperFabric on the impact areas, the Turbine Jacket is the choice for those wanting the breathability of a lightweight summer mesh jacket, but who in the past have been nervous about the protective qualities of mesh PROTECTION FEATURES Outer Shell Dynax mesh, Cordura 1000D, PWRshell 500D, PWRshell 750D, SuperFabric, Lorica reg Composition outer shell 98 polyamide, 2 other fibres Lining 100 polyester Protection Pro-Life CE (level 1) protection at shoulders and elbows, SuperFabric on impact areas and perforated Temperfoam at back Visibility laminated reflection at chest and back Recommended Upgrade SAS-TEC SC-1/12 Back Protector (not included) Pocket fits SC-1/12 size SAS-TEC Back Protector All Men's Turbine Jackets have the same size back protector pocket ERGONOMIC FEATURES Fit tour fit, regular Adjustability UTA tab at cuffs, flexisnap XL, adjustment straps at hips, adjustment tabs at upper and under arms Ventilation ventilation panels at chest, back and arms Features collar hook, stretch lips at elbows, long connection zipper and double short connection zipper Pockets slit pockets, membrane storage pocket, inner pockets Please Note The Turbine Jacket does not include a wind/waterproof layer as noted in the 2009 catalog, the specs changed after the catalog went to print. NOTE Turbine Jacket runs 1 size larger compared to other REV'IT Jackets and to what the size charts indicate. So if you measure up to be a size 52, you should go with a 50 instead.
 

Airflow of Turbine vs Airwave vs Ignition 2

How does the airflow compare on the Airwave, Turbine, and Ignition 2? I know there are a lot of differences in the level of protection, but I am curious if I am trying to wear it 90 degree and up if there is much difference in these jackets.
The Turbine and the Ignition 2 both use Dynax mesh by Schoeller, which offers good airflow and is the highest abrasion-resistant mesh on the market. The leather in the Ignition will flow less air in hot temps than the textile used in the Turbine jacket, so the Turbine wins. The Airwave is a new for 2012 product that has not yet been released by REV'IT! so there is no practical application review of it's airflow just yet, but I would imagine it will be equivalent to the REV'IT! Air jacket with it's large panels of airmesh. For max airflow, the Airwave wins, for max protection, the Ignition 2 wins, the Turbine offers the best balance between high airflow and safety.

Joe Rocket SpeedMaster 5.0 Two Piece Race Suit 1.2 to 1.4mm Cowhide Titanium reinforced shoulders Grade A rated C.E. Armor in shoulders, knees and elbows Removable spine pad with pocket for optional C.E. spine protector Aerodynamic speed hump Variable Flow ventilation system Injection molded shoulder vents Pre-curved sleeves and legs Poly/Mesh ankle panels Beveled, ceramic compound knee sliders Optional Speedmaster Suit Liner available
 

Would this suit be uncomfortable to use with a backpack because of the speed hump?

I would not recommend using a backpack on a suit with a speed hump. If you are using this for commuting or other off-track use, I would suggest a tail pack or a messenger bag as an alternate. Of course, if using on a track, you would not be able to ride with a backpack and it would also block the speed humps primary function of making you more aerodynamic.

Nolan N104 Helmet - Solid Colors Nolan N104 Helmets represent an evolutionary step for Nolan as they replace the much touted N103 Helmet. When compared the older N103, the Nolan N104 Helmet offers a helmet which is much lighter (7oz), features a lower profile through the use of multiple shell sizes, better aerodynamics, as well as a much larger viewport for increased visibility. The (patented) chin guard rotation movement with elliptical trajectory makes it possible to keep the total size of the helmet's front section to a minimum, when the chin guard is open. The sail effect is consequently highly reduced and riding comfort is still guaranteed, even when the chin guard is lifted. The new ultrawide eyeport is the largest of any Nolan helmet, both vertically and laterally for maximum field of view. The AIRBOOSTER ventilation system is equipped with an air intake in the chin bar, another intake in the brow and two rear extractors at the rear. The inner comfort lining includes removable cheekpads, inner liner, neckroll and chin curtain and is easily removable and washable as well as antifungal and antibacterial. New, redesigned comfort liner also accommodates eyeglasses much more easily than before. All Nolan N104 helmets are also N-COM B4 ready ( N-COM B4 is designed expressly for the N104 and is sold separately). Shell Features Injected polycarbonate GE Lexan shell 7oz lighter than the Nolan N103 Two Shell engineering allows Nolan N104 to offer sizes from 2XS to 3XL (2XS-LG and XL-3XL) Dimensionally correct sizing allows ample cubic volume in chin/nose area Faceshield Features Face shields are now sized to fit the two different shell sizes (2XS-LG and XL-3XL) Ultra wide eye port opening is the largest on any Nolan helmet for superior visibility Shield is changed by a simple push button mechanism Pinlock shield included with each helmet VPS (Vision Protection System) is new slider bar to lower, push button release for instant retraction VPS lens is scratch and fog resistant Chin Bar Features Centromatic chin guard opening mechanism requires dual action, simultaneous action to prevent accidental opening Dual action opening mechanism is positioned in the centre of the chin guard and allows for easy, one-handed opening Ventilation N104 has new AIRBOOSTER ventilation system, ensures optimal ventilation where is is most required Air intake in the chin guard draws air in and onto the inside of the faceshield 3 position top vent (closed, crown vent, crown/brow vent) 2 venturi exhaust ports at rear of helmet New plastic vent tube channels in EPS disperse cool air throughout the helmet interior Inner Liner Features removable cheek pads, inner liner, neck roll and wind protector The inner padding of the new N104 is easily removable and washable and antibacterial The shape of the inner comfort padding facilitates eyeglass wearing Reflective insert at the centre of the roll neck further improves the rider's visibility at night Neck roll can be removed easily, for more comfort in the warmer months Other Features N-Com Communication System compatible (sold separately) Features new Microlock2 quick-release retention system Microlock2 consists of a plastic ergonomic opening lever, and of a second aluminium toothed and holding lever Microlock2 minimizes the possibility of unintentional opening while still making it ergonomic and easy to use Meets or exceeds D.O.T. standards
 

My head measurement is 23inches, what size Nolan 104 should I be ordering? Thanks

Based off of your measurements, I would recommend a size Large.
