Rev'IT GT 2 piece impressions?

[greminn]

Hi There,

I have some rev'it over pants and a rev'it summer "air" jacket... so im looking at getting some leathers in the same brand and just wondering if anyone can comment? Have they got some, how did they wear, how did they go after a couple of months? (they guy said i should get them 'snug', which the ones i tried on were :beer: ).

Jacket and pants come to $1495 at motomail and i get a $300 voucher, which i might get one of their back protectors with.

This is a picture of them, but im looking at the black ones, which have white insted of red and no silver.

Bro, its all simple, look at the leather thickness (should be minimum 1.4) and look at the stitching (should be triple minimum in kevlar) then look at the armour and after that if it fits its good.
if its less than 1.4 dont buy it, if it says multiple stitched its probably only double.
For that kinda coin I would expect the best in the above categories.

have fun

good suits *but then I am biased*, yup and definately fit them very snug, uncomfortably tight as they will stretch.

whats a ballpark figure for a quasi two piece with good leather gloves *equivalent to the alpinestars/berrick/revit race gloves* - for a person that is roughly 172cm and not too porky

Oh and berrik suits are also brill, they take the cake as my favourite.

A two piece as oppoesed to a jacket and Pants (ie a one piece sizing in two) will cost $1395 in a standard size, you choose the colours (on the website)
A Jacket (full Race spec) start at $399 goes to $599, pants of the same spec (with sliders) are $489

Gloves well the above dont have anything comparible to us I dont think, we have the KNOX sps system in our gloves which sets us (in my opinion) as the leader, these are $169
see the info on our website about what sps is okay.

Ive got the rev'it set your looking at in black and white one

my only dislike with the styling is the lower back of the jacket and above your butt on the pants they have rows of horizontal round leather strips which i would have preferred just flat leather but thats just me, on the functionality side i find i can be somewhat limited in how far i can stretch my legs apart which comes into effect when moving around and corner positioning - its not really a hindrance as it doesnt prevent you from riding in any real way i just like freedom of movement.

id suggest trying them on zipped up and together and if theyre comfy and you can move well sweet as and im sure there will be a bike around too if you want to see how they feel on one ;)

I love mine but beware they won't stretch as much as you might think.

Get them snug but don't get them super tight. I think they're pre-stretched or something.

All the main stitching is is hidden and all that and they're super abrasion resistant. I crash tested mine at Taupo and they didn't wear down at all. I just lost the dyed layer.

The venting works well too.

The only thing I'd like is the ability to remove the lining to wash it. No biggie though.

Highly recommend you get an undersuit to go with them. Keeps you cooler when it's hot and warmer when it's cold. Also makes it way easier to get out of your leathers if you've been sweating http://www.extremeracing.co.uk/

I eventually teamed mine up with a Shoei XR-1000, Sidi boots, the matching gloves and Quasi's Knox Aegix back protector for the ultimate in protection. Check out my profile pic :)

EDIT: If they were out in time I would have got Quasi's Knox gloves http://www.quasimoto.co.nz/products/gloves/qmoto-knox-sps-glove-whiteblack <img src="http://www.quasimoto.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/wpsc/product_images/20%2010-12-08.JPG" width="400">

So disco we've both got the same xr1000 helmet design, 2 piece suit, sidi boots and quasi back protector and i also was going to buy those quasi gloves too if id known about them before i bought some rev'it ones - we're like clones except in what we ride :D

Good to know there's someone else out there who has style ;)
