Can't say enough positive things about it!!!
jacket has armored shoulders, elbows, forearms and the armor is flexible!!! Very comfortable.
The jacket zips (2 zippers already installed - shortie + the full circumference for the track). Has zip pockets on the outside, on either side seam. Has inside zip pocket over right boob and deep pocket over left boob that has velcor for quick access.
the pants have an elastic waistband (for those shaped likeme - and apple!!). long pocket in front so nothing can ride out of it. Armored knees that are replaceable.
the precision line has stretch panels so it fits women of all shapes and sizes. It also helps it to breathe.
Nothing fits off the rack, and this looks like it was tailored for me!!! I bought it snug so the armor won't shift around in a crash.
It's everything you want in riding gear that's also a track suit!!
By the way, I'm 5' 6", 165 pounds, big waist/chest/shoulders.
I fully recommend everyone try it on the next time you see it on the rack. You'll be amazed!!
that's a nice looking jacket laura [thumbsup]
leather or textile?
the jacket is leather with perforations in spots, with stretchy fabric running in areas that allow you to move and it helps with air circulation.
Saw Rev-It has a summer version where the main body is breathable fabric and leather for strength where needed.
I need to look up the summer riding gear that ReviT has, i really like their armor, it's all very mobile and then stiffens up in the event of an unforeseen incident.
Thanks laura. I'm starting to get very nervous with my newly purchased 4 Season first gear pants that i got. anything that jumps off the road and hits you really stings.
i bought a pair of the ladies rev'it summer pants last season
great quality, i hope i never have to review the armor.
Nice! Thanks for the review...I've been looking at their gear for a of months but was not sure of the quality.

Laura.. sweetie, i looked at this photo, and it looked like your head was missing.. double take, or my eyes have been staring at this computer way way too long today.
Hopefully once i get another street bike, i'll be able to ride with you again sometime soon. Now we both don't have our monsters anymore :(
I want a set of Rev'it gloves with the armor knuckles and the pinky and ring finger attached for the track. they are a bit $$ though.

I love Rev'It Gear. I tried on one of their mesh summer jackets years ago and it fit awesome - and I am like lauramonster. NOTHING ever fits me off the rack. I didnt buy it due to the price tag at the time, but really regret it now. I have since bought new jackets that I like (Scorpion) but my husband keeps telling me "I have never seen a jacket fit you so perfectly as that Rev'It jacket".
Here's a picture of me in my Rev'It jacket, I love it. [thumbsup]
