    Opinions on Rev'it Ignition Jacket

    Hia ll,

    I'm thinking of upgrading to a leather jacket after my bin the other week.

    My insurance assessor had a Rev'it Ignition and it looked the business... It is at the very upper end of my budget so I wondered if any people who have one could share their opinion with me.

    Here's the link for the jacket at motomail

    Thanks

    Im also waiting for that new order.
    i need a smaller size

    i spoke to someone who had an off, and his held together. Protected his skin good.
    reason for saying that is i got told a story of someone who bought an expensive pair of leathers (duno the brand) he came off and they just tore apart and didn;t help him one bit.

    It would be a choice between your stuff and this to be honest Quasi....

    What are the key advantages your gear offers in your opinion?

    Well now, it seems to have similar features to the vengeance quasi jacket I have, 2 zips for connecting to pants, vents, (quaz has 4, 2 front, 2 back) but I think the revit has more internal pockets.

    $369 v $699.... ummmm Ok, that said, I have no idea of crashability of either... Quaz jacket also has the removable vest liner...

    All jackets tend to have mesh/stretch on the non-impact areas, for snug fitting, and venting. Quaz jacket also gave me a fantastic shape

    Im Counting in two years 35 crashes all gear still being worn, can you get better than that ?
    the main thing is there is a label on all my gear it says QUASiMOTO and that is me, I am the owner, its my balls, my reputation and my livelyhood on the line, I dont have a counter a retail shop and a wholesaler to hide behind ,its me and me, working for me, that is the single biggest thing in my opinion, anyway, the gear HAS TO BE GOOD cause I cant afford it not to be, its taken me two years so far and I reckon now the gear is amongst the best you will find anywhere, we only comprimise on price !!!

    each to their own. & not all fit the same.....

    i beleive in the ignition jacket.... i think there is something like 15 domes that hold the inner lining (correct me if i an wrong... i may have interpreted it wrong)

    so
    IMHO; if i was sliding down the road.... i would not be very trusting the dome system.... concedering the friction/movement inside the jacket, under force im sure the domes could pop undone thus probably causing skin abrasions/burns.
    *** now i do know these skin abrasions/burns do happen in zipped & attached linings (have experanced it first hand) but the liners tend to rip at stress points and/or seams as required...

    I would hate to think what the results would be with the domes poppin, the linings bunching up & screwing around ya body, as ya go from a slide to spin cycle

    as i said its just my opinion and thoughts
    asked Mom if I was a gifted child ... she said they certainly wouldn't have paid for me.
