 Posted: 06:23 - 08 Oct 2015 Post subject: Rev'it kit any good? Winter jacket advice? |
 |
|
Currently I have some Weise Psycho gear, which honestly has been brilliant through last winter at keeping me warm and dry. Also tried throwing myself at the floor and didn't sustain any damage. No long trips in the rain to be fair but I took no notice of the weather apart from cold hands.
Only complaint would be the jackets a bit too short off the bike if worn with normal jeans.
Anyway since I've been to the gym and put on a load of muscle taken to wearing a back protector, I can't fit a jumper under it anymore. It's currently a choice between fitting the thermal liner in or breathing.
Was thinking of getting something 3/4 length, possibly with high-vis (possibly with white helmet, possibly 'POLITE' ).
Though now I've been looking at some of the Rev'It jackets that seem to do a pretty convincing job of being casual enough to wear around town.
Any good? ____________________ Honda CB500S |

I did 4 years of commuting year round in Rev'it textiles. Worked perfect, warm in winter with liners in. Lasted 4 years and 80k miles fine. Still have them, just no bike  ____________________ covent.gardens: lihp is my most favourite member ever |
