REV’IT! Coral Ladies Jacket: Hella Style Meets Solid Function I’ve got to admit; this review process has changed my mind...
I have long admired REV’IT!’s ability to combine a high degree of technical specification with modern style – clean, slim...
The new year is almost here, and that means riding season is only a couple of months away (for most of North America and Europe, anyway). Restocking on gear is always a good idea before you take that first spring ride—and this week, Revzilla has some awesome deals on jackets to...
Introduction With the Summer of 2021 fast approaching (or already here depending on my publish date), I found myself looking...
We’d like to thank the RevZilla team for providing this REAX Apex Pro jacket at no-cost for the purpose of...
Introduction Back in Summer, 2018, I was introduced to Czech riding apparel maker, Trilobite. They were a new name to me when I was reviewing their 1860 Ton Up jeans last year despite the fact they have been around since 2012. Having made their mark in Europe over the past...
First, some background: REAX is a new riding apparel line recently launched by Comoto Holdings – that’s RevZilla and Cycle...
Being that I live in a very warm climate, I was eager to test any jacket that offered good ventilation...
have become very popular in the few years that they’ve been on the market, and with good reason. They’re a very welcome solution to hot-weather riding for those of us who like to have more than Fruit of the Loom between skin and asphalt. Motorcycle clothing manufacturers have been hard...
Can there ever be too many choices for warm weather clothing? I’m not sure if the “perfect” mesh combo exists...
This is the third in our series of reviews featuring Alpinestars mesh motorcycle clothing. First up was the Alpinestars T-Stunt 2 mesh...
The Klim Induction jacket was introduced in 2014 and has been recently updated. The design and execution of this latest version may just make it the most functional lightweight mesh jacket that we have ever reviewed. Its high-visibility colouration scheme and reflective inserts address critical day- and night-time conspicuity requirements....
Like the Pilot Visto Air high-visibility jacket I reviewedrecently, the even simpler Pilot Slate Air jacket works as advertised. It is...
The Pilot Visto Hi-Viz Jacket is a near clone of the Pilot Direct Air jacket we reviewed in June 2014, but with...
The Joe Rocket Phoenix Ion Jacket is a variant of the long-running and ever-popular Joe Rocket Phoenix mesh jacket (review). Our feeling is that there’s not all that much difference between the standard Phoenix jacket and the Phoenix Ion version. There is one thing though: the “INNOLITE” reflective coating on the...
The Bull-it Carbon and Roadster jackets are an excellent blend of casual looks and tough protection. Neither jacket gives away...
The Rukka AiRider jacket is new for 2014 and it has the same Cordura AFT mesh shell of the type...
The Pilot Direct Air jacket is good-looking, nicely made and comes in a variety of color combinations. It’s a hybrid mesh/textile jacket, with large sections of “Pilotex” mesh for ventilation with textile on the abrasion points. Included is a removable waterproof liner and CE-rated protectors in the shoulders and elbows. The jacket...
The Rukka AirMan jacket is an update of the Rukka Airway jacket, reviewed exactly one year ago on webBikeWorld. The Airway was...
The Teiz Motorsports Sahara jacket is a comfortable, functional garment. It served me well throughout the entire 15 days of the...
The Rukka Airway jacket and AirVision pants combo is designed for hot-weather riding. But unlike most mesh motorcycle clothing, this gear is built to take all you can dish out — and then some. The Airway/AirVision outfit is more successful in many ways than the Rukka Armas outfit (review), which is designed for...
The Joe Rocket Phoenix 5.0 jacket is, as its name implies, the fifth generation of what was once a ground-breaking...
The Dainese Aspide jacket is new for 2012. It is a lighter-weight motorcycle jacket designed to provide good air flow...
A hot weather jacket that is a happy medium between keeping you cool and keeping you protected. Beating the heat. When the temps go up people tend wear clothes that cover less of their skin. This of course allows more air to flow over the skin, which then helps to...
The Tourmaster Intake Air Series 2 is one of several Tourmaster jackets that have similar design features. It is available in...
Comfortable jacket works surprisingly well in warm weather. The wild “Rasta” colors are also highly visible and the jacket is available...
Ixon is one of the few manufacturers who have addressed the need for children’s motorcycle clothing. Their children’s motorcycle clothing line is pretty small, if you’ll pardon the pun. It consists of the Los Angeles jacket for boys and the very unfortunately named “Lolita” jacket for girls. They also make...
The Rev’it Air jacket is new for 2008. It’s designed for hot weather riding and it offers sophisticated styling with...
The Icon Strongarm 13 is a very cool “custom” jacket. It has over-the-top staying but it’s actually very comfortable, includes vents...
The Joe Rocket Phoenix mesh outfit is reasonably priced. The jacket fits well and it flows a lot of air. It is also an improvement over the original Joe Rocket Phoenix jacket. But the fit of the pants is a problem and they’re not as well ventilated. Bottom line: buy...
I was hoping to get this review out of the way several weeks ago, back when the weather was at...
Summer weather is just around the corner in this part of the world, meaning that it’s a good time to...
The Roadgear Adaptive-Tech vest and jacket are soft, comfortable and stylish. They can be worn as liners for motorcycle jackets or off the bike for street wear. Outlast “phase change” material is relatively new to the world of motorcycling. But, our sport provides an ideal environment to evaluate the benefits...
Potential for motorcycle riders not quite realized. Back in the old days, automobiles didn’t have seat belts or padded dashboards,...
I’ll take a wild guess and say that something like 97% of motorcycling is done in fine weather. So one...
