After plenty of clamoring, female riders are getting more of their due this Fall from REV'IT. With the release of the REV'IT! Legacy GTX Ladies Jacket, the long-distance tourer and everyday commuter now has an all-season all-weather option that will perform excellently hot-to-cold. Packed with a feature set that rivals the best from any other manufacturer on the market, the brand new REV'IT! Ladies Legacy complements the ADV-focused Ventura combo as seriously technical pieces that are designed and cut exclusively for a woman's curves and contours.
The REV'IT! Legacy GTX Ladies is built from a chassis of PWRShell 750D and 500D, with 1000D ripstop Cordura in impact areas. All of these fabrics are treated with a Teflon DWR coating which assists in beading up water. Of course, your true waterproof breathability comes from the bonded Gore-Tex membrane that will keep all precipitation out but allow perspiration to escape through, keeping you cool (or warm) and dry on the most torrential of rides. There is also a removable quilted thermal liner that is full sleeved and can be taken out when it's warmer. There are intake vents at the chest and under arms that feed the rear exhaust vents for a solid degree of airflow in hotter riding scenarios.
For protection, there is ladies-specific CE rated Prolife armor at the shoulders and elbows. The EVA foam backpad can be upgraded to the Knox TP2 CE Back Protector or the molecular-level SAS-TEC Back Protector to amp up your safety. There are ample adjustment possibilities, with a multi-position collar, and cinches at the waist, upper arms, under arms, cuffs and hips. Some further niceties of the Legacy include waterproof cargo stash pockets, hand warmer pockets, inner pockets, a hook-and-loop lockdown collar system and a connection zipper to attach this jacket to the REV'IT! Legacy GTX Ladies Pants. Overall, the long-distance tourer and everyday commuter will be very pleased with the feature set offered here.
With the serious touring rider and long-time commuter in mind, REVIT! developed its newest winter motorcycle glove. The REV'IT! Orion GTX glove provides an excellent balance between rider comfort and protection, incorporating the GORE-TEX waterproof breathable membrane combined with REV'IT's constant attention to detail and commitment to the highest-quality materials.
Built on a chassis of 500D PWRShell with Teflon-coated 1000D ripstop Cordura reinforcements and water repellent goatskin & suede leather, the REVIT! Orion GTX ensures that your hand stays protected. The main knuckle protection is EVA foam, with PU injected reinforcements in the finger knuckles and foam injections at the palm and thumb. It is lightweight and extremely abrasion-resistant with excellent tear resistance provided by the ripstop fabric. There is also Schoeller Keptrotec built underneath the goatskin palm that provides stretch and comfort while the goatskin offers superior abrasion resistance and tactile feel.
For waterproofing and breathability, the integrated GORE-TEX membrane has you covered: your hands will be dry and comfortable no matter the weather as the membrane fends off incoming precipitation but allows perspiration from your hand to pass through. Couple that with the Thermolite push-pull tri-fleece liner and your riding not only protected but in a great deal of comfort as well.
As always, the creature comforts make their way into the REV'IT Orion GTX gloves; REVIT never leaves those out. You have 3M scotchlite reflective at the cuff and fingers for visibility; an adjustment strap at the wrist with an adjustment tab at the cuff; stretch paneling at the back of the hand to keep the glove in place and keep you comfortable when you're working the controls; digital grip patches on the index finger and the webbing of the hand for enhanced grip and control; and finally, our favorite, the visor wiper on the left index finger to easily clean your shield at any point in your ride.
The REVIT Orion GTX gloves are the ideal glove for the serious commuter or experienced touring rider. You may also be interested in checking out the more beefed-up REV'IT! Bastion GTX Gloves.
The REVIT! Bastion GTX Glove is the ultimate winter glove from both a protective and waterproof breathability standpoint. REV'IT used the GORE-TEX membrane for the highest level of breathability and water/weatherproofing and utilized state-of-the-art fabrics and protection elements derived from their MotoGP gloves to create a breakthrough winter glove.
We are really excited about the new live of REV'IT! GORE-TEX motorcycle gear. Combining the leader of the pack in ADV touring gear with the most proven and trusted manufacturer of waterproof breathable gear is a home run all day long. The REVIT Bastion GTX glove does not disappoint. The outershell is constructed using teflon-coated 1000D ripstop Cordura, water-repellent goatskin and suede leather, and Schoeller Dynamic which is an extremely durable stretch fabric that breathes well and dries quickly. The Schoeller also utilizes their proprietary Nanosphere material, which is a hydrophobic fabric to which water and dirt can not affix to. This makes it really easy to keep clean and extends the life of the glove. The addition of SuperFabric, tiny laser-welded ceramic plates 14x more abrasion-resistant than Kevlar, adds to the overall protective value of this glove.
Of course you've got the GORE-TEX waterproof breathable membrane built into the core of the glove to keep you warm and dry in the cold and wet months, but you've also got a Thermolite Plus push-pull tri-fleece liner. This offers a very comfortable feel against the hand and also provides a great level of warmth. As far as protection, REV'IT! borrowed heavily from their MotoGP gloves for the REVIT Bastion GTX. PU injected finger knuckles and backhand protection with TPU hard-shell little finger protector, a dual-comp honeycomb palm slider with added EVA foam reinforcements at the thumb and wrist. You're going to be safe in this glove.
There are also all of the subtle creature comforts that REV'IT never leaves out of the mix. Stretch paneling at the fingers and the back of the hand so the hard parts stay in place and your hand is never uncomfortable, gripping the controls or otherwise. Goat Window grip patches are integrated into the first two fingers and across the palm for superior tactile feel and grip. Elastication at the wrist aids in accurate fit and allows the glove to be worn inside or outside a jacket with a single velcro cuff. Finally, and this may be our favorite feature, is the visor wiper on the index finger of the left hand. This makes it really simple to keep your visor clean when you're on those long adventure rides.
Straight up, this is a phenomenal glove that is sure to be a big hit in our winter glove line-up.
