Rev'It Jackets have landed .....

[Roger Chatterton]

Just to say that after a long wait, I got a call from Motorbike Centre in Wymondham ( near Norwich), to say they have finally had there consignment of Rev'It clothing.

I went in today, and tried on the Cayenne Pro, and it seems as good as they say !
So, I bought one -(large size fits me- 42" chest ,) -didn't need the jumper I'd been wearing under my old HG Basic either..very snug, and although most of the rain had stopped on the way back, was dry and cosy - loadsa pockets, very adjustable, vent zips on sleeves, front flaps and rear vents for the hot days etc etc. Good price too- .Very helpful, and knowledgeable -can recommend them.

I know it's been said before ...

... but the Halvarssons kit takes some beating, both on price and quality and I used a Rev'it jacket very happily before I got my (now discontinued) Amazon jacket

Looks good, especailly their trousers - do you know where their stock can be viewed in a 'proper' shop?

... at Woodford Motorcycles, but elsewhere they seem to be a bit sparse. They do all the big bike shows but with a 'Not for sale' stand

There is a Halvarssons dealer in Stoke-on-Trent if you are ever winging it up the M6 past there ... about 3-4 miles off the motorway.

Always forget they do the kit and am surprised when I go in there ... picked up a nice set of Halvarssons gloves last time on special, nicely put together, great fit, waterproof/windproof ... just be nice if the linings were fully sewn in.

Full kit always looks impressive ... they had a safety suit on the peg last time from memory.

halvarssons

Got my Halvarssons kit from GLF accessories in Flitwick, Beds. Graham is a top chap with excellent sales advice and service.

will have covered 10k miles in my safety suit since getting it in January. I promised Graham that i would do a full review about it. Will post it here once i have finished it. Not told Graham so far, but it gets a glowing review so far!! I am well impressed with it, especially as it replaced my ageing Rukka RVP Pro!!

Hi GSArt - was it you I saw yesterday (Tues) afternoon, just near Duxford Museum - I only realised it might be you at the last minute -I did wave !!!

PS I also looked at the halvarssons, and was very close to buying, -the only thing I wasn't sure about was having to change the "outer skin" between a waterproof and a fully vented "mesh" outer. I just felt the Rev'It was , for me, a bit more flexible, and not quite as bulky-very nicely made and very good prices. I also went to Flitwick-Graham is a most helpful guy too

Hi Roger!!!

if it was about 10 to 5 ish then yes that was me Easy to spot, Manderin GS with HID headlight and led lights in front and rear indicators.

Pleased you popped over to see Graham, he is a top chap, very knowledgeable!! I have to admit i did look at the Revitt Jackets, I met the rep last year and he showed me the early samples. Very nice!! What colour did you go for? I particularly liked the Grey/black colour, but it would not last long with the mileage i do.

cheers, Ian

ps, starter still going strong

I have a Rev'It Jacket - not sure which design off hand and I generally find it very good, although the press stud on the collar is not that strong so I have taken to wearing my neck gator/buff over the collar just to keep the collar closed.

Very good jacket otherwise just a minor flaw.

Hi Ian,
there wasn't a whole load of choice re colours, but I got the Cayenne Pro, black/grey, with a dash of red !! Wanted a dash of yellow, but sadly not poss.
I don't think the bike I saw was mandarin (yellow that is ?), so not you -it looked kitted out though, but only saw it briefly -too busy watching the road.
