    Revit's good shit but not cheap...like mentioned earlier you get what you pay for...Brilliant right through winter and without the insulation and w/proof liner are cool as in summer with all the vents..
    Doesn't take too well to skidding on the tarmac though as i found out...
    Cant beat good leathers if you want protection though...

    Compared to Sidi, Spidi, Alpinestars, etc I don't think it is talked up enough. It's easily as good if not better gear than all the other major brands.

    Crashed in my Rev'IT gloves. Knuckles ground off and I didn't even know my hands had hit the ground. I'll probably buy another set.

    Yeah I have both rev-it jacket and pants, both work very well, have to be in a big down pour or in the light rain for a long time to start getting wet

    as said above make sure you test the pants before like sit on your bike, as some like to grab your manhood and slam it back up to the primary school days :S

    Oh well, after this morning's performance (light rain all the way in) it looks like I need to go back to the shop - still leaked big time even though I had the "waterproof" layer in!

    That's cheaper than the Spidi gloves I bought.
    Generally, you get what you pay for. The two pairs of cheap gloves I've bought both fell apart, and one was very uncomfortable. I was actually glad when they died, so I could replace them. OTOH, I'm always sad when good gear wears out.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    Buy a $15 raincoat. Wear it under your "waterproof" Cordura. Problem solved.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Great - the dealer has to send it back to the suppliers, which mean I'm without a waterproof jacket for a week - shame I can't just get my money back (even though I only bought it last month) and buy something that works!!!

    You can. You control what happens, not the dealer. Consumer Guarantees Act states if it isn't fit for purpose you can request a full refund.

    Guess it depends upon whether it's classed as a "major" problem or not??

    "Point of Law
    The Consumer Guarantees Act says any goods you buy must be of acceptable quality. If a major fault develops then you have the right to reject the goods and be given a replacement or get your money back. The choice is yours.

    You can also reject goods if the problem is minor but the retailer must have been given the chance to put things right and has refused or is unable to do so."

    It leaks. It is supposed to be waterproof. They aren't going to fix that by sending it away. You are within your rights to request a refund. I'm fairly certain the intent of the CGA isn't to leave you without a jacket.

    Haven't read all of this thread.... but, FWIW, the missus has an Alpinestars sigma jacket, and it IS waterproof. They retail for $600.00

    Mmmm spidi.

    Well after two crashes.... ah three actually! The revit gloves have held together well. There are minimal wear on the palms.(cos I take them off at night) But the plastic knuckle guards saved my hands big time yesterday.

    Yep I'm reasonably impressed. Might not be water proof but I dont have stumps for hands either(luckily, cos my sex life would never be the same

    Quite agree, but we're talking about Wellington Motorcycles here (I guess?) - and generally they just don't seem to give a XXXX for the customer. I have developed an allergy to giving them money!
