Review: RevIt Titan Rainsuit/ Daytona boots

[Okey Dokey]

This suit did a really great job keeping me dry and giving me a bit of wind protection.

On Wednesday I had to ride through some cold southerly rain for a couple of hours in South Canterbury and North Otago (4 degrees) I stopped on the roadside before I hit the rain and retrieved the suit from under my pillion seat. It folds up into a pouch and fits nicely under here, which is a handy feature.

I found it easy to get into without needing extra help! I wear a dainese 2 piece leather suit and the rainsuit fit over it nicely. The zip runs from knee to neck diagonally and did up easily. There is a generous overlap of material here that seals with velcro and I had no rain get in.

There are adjustments on the lower leg, upper arm, cuff, (all velcro), and a belt to fit the suit to your body. Again these worked easily and I had no trouble with flapping on the open road. There are elasticated loops at the end of the arms, which fit over your gloves, to keep the sleeve in place. I actually tucked the sleeves in to my gloves instead. I was on the highway and no rain ran down my arms into my gloves at that speed on my gsx-r.

When I reached home after about 2 hours, my leathers were dry and I was very pleased with this suit. It cost $99.00 on sale in October.

My boots deserve mention as well: Daytona GTX waterproof. Again, feet were 100% dry and warm. Fantastic performance from both and I would recommend them.

That's good feedback on the rain suit and your boots! Those kind of conditions

would have given everything a decent workout. I bet you're pleased to have gear that works well for you.

Good one.

Where did you get the boots? I've been looking for a New Zealand supplier for Daytona to no avail.

[Okey Dokey]

I bought them through motomail. BUT that was over 10 years ago, so may not be of use. It would be worthwhile asking them, however.

Good luck and let me know how you get on.

They are good boots; comfy, warm, dry, good protection, good soles, reasonable price when I got them.

EDIT: My 2004 Motomail catalogue still lists them, and it says:call Dold Industries on 0508 365 300 for location of nearest stockist. I hope this helps you in your search

It doesn't seem that they are sold here anymore. I tried Dold a while back and they said they were not going to sell Daytona anymore.
