REVIT Gear 2 Leather Pants

Available in men's and ladies' styles, the Gear pants from REVIT have become an even better match for the Ignition 2 for 2012. The brand new REVIT Gear 2 Leather Pants now feature even more mesh for better airflow in the hottest of hot riding conditions. You still get the versatility of having the protection of leather, the airflow of mesh, and the option of the removable Hydratex waterproof breathable liner. But now you've got better airflow, an overall more ergonomic design, and more innovative feature set than previously. They are also available as the REVIT Women's Gear 2 Leather Pants.

The Gear 2 Pants use premium cowhide leather in the impact areas with high-airflow abrasion-resistant Dynax mesh in less vulnerable zones. A big upgrade for this year's model is the armor. Still using ProLife CE rated protectors (also found in REVIT! race suits) at the knees, this year the armor is fully adjustable to ensure proper fitment. This is huge as it allows riders with different body types to guarantee that the armor is where it needs to be for comfort and protection. There are also EVA foam hip bads for added protection and the Gear 2 Pants are safety stitched throughout for premium tear resistance. Reflective paneling down at the calves ensures night time visibility.

With this version, the mesh is now extended all the way almost to the waist band, and the pockets have been moved to the sides of the legs to allow for even more airflow. There are stretch panels above the knees and at the lower back for mobility, with a short and long connection zipper and large calf zippers for easy in and out. The removable Hydratex waterproof breathable liner allows your perspiration to escape but will not let any precipitation penetrate. They've also received a style upgrade for this iteration. This is ultimate in versatility for a sport riding outfit when paired up with the Ignition 2. Also available in a ladies version with a women's-specific cut and fit. You can see them at right.

REV'IT! Gear Pants Review

Imagine having chocolate and vanilla, chicken and steak, leather and mesh. Well that's what REV'IT! has just done with their leather-mesh REV'IT! Gear Pants. They have made a sport and street oriented pair of pants that combined the best of both leather and mesh. These pants match up perfectly with the REV'IT! Ignition Jacket. The Gear pants are simply made for the everyday rider that wants one pair of pants that can do almost anything.

Check out our REV'IT! Gear Pants Review:

The REV'IT! Gear pants combine the air flow and ventilation of mesh and the protection of leather. These REV'IT! pants are constructed of cowhide leather in high impact areas such as the knees, hips, the seat of the pants and side of the leg. The larger areas less prone to damage during a wreck, like the thighs, shins, back of the leg, and inner leg,  are constructed of Dynax mesh panels. This provides the rider with the highest amount of protection possible combined with a high degree of ventilation. Dynax mesh is highly breathable and comfortable but also very resistant to tearing and ripping. Ballistic safety stitching holds the seams together to prevent them from coming apart during an impact or slide.

The Gear Pants also come with a removable Hydratex liner. Hydratex is waterproof, windproof and breathable so you have all your bases covered for a 3 season pant that can even stretch into parts of winter with some thermal base-layers depending on where you live. When the temperatures climb in the summer just take out the liner via the zipper and snap attachments and you have some very high ventilated pants. If the weather is wet or cold then this liner will really come in handy. Protection and comfort in these pants are really nicely thought out. The hips in these pants are Temperfoam and the knees have ProLife CE rated armor. Temperfoam in the hips are not CE certified but still very impact resistant and provides much more mobility.

The knee armor is also adjustable to help the rider tailor the fit. The waist can be tightened with Velcro straps to tighten or loosen the pants based on your size and the legs have a boot cut to accommodate a full size touring or sport boot. The Gear pants have a very long zipper at each leg of the pants so you can easily slide your boots in and out without a problem. There's a short 8 inch zipper and a long 360 zipper connection for attaching these pants to a REV'IT! jacket.

Is black your favorite color? If so, good, because the only color option for these pants is black. Sizes go from 48-58 Euro with tall sizes available. That translates loosely to 30-44 US. They are pricier than your average riding pants but these are definitely on the top of the food chain and some of the best sport oriented pants you can buy.
