Why do they build summer jackets in black? I would assume lighter colors, especially white, would be cooler. Black absorbs a lot of heat
I think I can help you sir. Imagine if you will a man on a motorcycle wearing a white jacket with a fetching white pant. Perhaps he gets off with a swagger, a little bee gees playing on the radio, “oh you can tell by the way I use my walk, I’m a women’s man no time to talk” quite the sight indeed but perhaps not something appropriate in 2022.
@@R2D2trashcan that made me chuckle
@@sm98710 my only guess is bugs
Fucking lots of em. Everywhere on my mesh jackets.
Hey, Brandon, it would be great to have mentions of CE Level and protection standards met by clothing pieces mentioned in these quick rides. It would give your opinion of comfort, value, style, wearability, etc AND safety in one place which would be very helpful. Anecdotal statements, like, "I feel like it would keep me safe in the event of an off" don't offer much in the way of context. You could be wearing a CE A rated piece, like the GT-R Air 3, which is only rated for in-town speeds of about 45 kph (15 m slide for 3 seconds), and without that safety rating/context potential buyers or those riders who are less informed about safety ratings/standards may assume it's safe for their B-road/highway commute or riding style when it's not. It defitinely an important consideration with gear being so expensive and many riders needing multi use/ride adaptable pieces. Just putting the suggestion out there.
I think Revit are really stepping up their game lately. Love this. The question for me is always about room and comfort for the Dainese Air vest, or the Tech Air 5 underneath. I never ride without one of these on. So def curious about how much bigger I should go with this... I love the design though.
Black gloves, helmet and jacket. Here in Thailand I'd be dead in 30 minutes from heat exhaustion if I dressed up like that.
I have this jacket. Order a size up - excellent quality and the armor is not too bulky.
REV’IT gear is sized ridiculously small. I’m 5’10” 180lbs and their XL was snug. I liked the style and quality but couldn’t find anything that fit comfortably at my local Triumph/REV’IT dealer. Ended up with with Dainese as usual.
I’m 5”11, 175lbs and fit a medium so I guess it’s worth trying them on.
How about the Revit Air wave 3?
What about this versus the Airwave line?
I just used an RST Ventilator X jacket on a 10,000km ride through Central Australia. Excellent jacket, comfortable in the high 30s © and good down to 12C with the liner in. A good fit too.
I have 3 mesh jackets and by far the best from an airflow and protection perspective is the Knox Urbane Pro Mk2. It has to be 90 degrees or more before I wear it by itself otherwise if flows too much air. Amazing is is CE AA rated.
A question, what are the gloves that you are wearing?
My GT-R Air 2 was the best jacket I ever owned, It made daily commuting in south Texas bearable.
I just can't get past the styling of the GT-R 3, I don't like the giant reflective patches on this new one, the outline pin striping on the old one was better in my opinion.
Just what most of us need now that it's mid October.😄
I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw the title, 49 degrees this morning when I rode in today.
@@SSS-mp8th We had a blanket of snow here in Wisconsin this morning!
90 degrees plus South Florida all day 🤯
That’s the incredible thing about the internet, this video is being seen all around the world . . .
@@R2D2trashcan True but it's a US based retailer of motorcycle gear and parts. while true it could be helpful for those in warmer areas it just seemed odd that they waited months from when this was shot to put it on YT. This was shot around Philadelphia which hasn't seen mid 90's since July.
Nice scenery. But I wanted to learn about GT-R Air 3. Wish you would've shown video of the at least the major point of the jacket
Im not swoll either, but the arms are too snug and no air gets through in the arms as a result.
Went to an XXL on my older gt air.
Thanks for the heads up Brandon. Ill need to look for another brand it looks like.
This is more of a Euro fit and style. I'll have to check with the staff at RevZilla to see what might work for the tall (especially long arm) sizes. For me an XL usually fits the arm length. However the rest of the jacket is too roomy for a good fit. Do any of the jackets that RevZilla carries have tall sizes? Thanks. What a beautiful Triumph machine you're riding!!
Does this come with a slot for a chest insert?
I would love to upgrade from the Eclipse but I simply can't afford to 😕 They're so expensive. 🙁🤦🏽♂️
More of a general question, looking for a leather jacket that has (or can be upgrade to have) armor and is a little longer in the arms. Are their any brands that generally have long arms?
Pros & Cons of GT-R3 vs the Airwave 3 jacket?
Can you do a video on the new Kilimanjaro 2?
So it doesn't fit well. Like most mc wear it's sized to small. Unless you are tiny you wind up with something two times your normal size to not be squeezed somewhere. But airflow is great.
A little late in the season for this review, Brandon! Anyway…
- Nice stretch of road you're on: where in PA/NJ is this? (I'm a bit North of you, but curious.)
- My current mesh jacket is a low-end number I got from the Zilla a few years back: Highway 21 Turbine. Good basic jacket whose sins are more of omission than commission. The RevIt! jacket looks good, but as I'm slightly shorter and a bit less-svelte than you, I'm not totally certain that's the ticket for me. (I *did* check out Merlin's Chigwell Lite at the Brooklyn store, and have that on my shortlist for next year as an upgrade from the Turbine.)
Keep up he good content!
What base layer material do you wear In hot temps? Can’t imagine doing that
Any athletically focused layer meant to wick sweat and would be worn for a workout. You'll get max wicking and dissipation/evaporation this way providing additional comfort.
Agree, fit is a disaster with their entire line. Athletic bodies beware.
What does “more sport oriented” even mean though? Does it make you go faster?
Tighter fit, you seen MotoGP race suits? that's super aggressive fit/tight.
@@VetteWerks but when you’re comparing to a already super sporty jacket “more sport oriented” is head scratching
@Fee I had some sport jackets same brand by Dainese. Same size 50. One of them had a race hump and titanium armor plating, the other had a good sporty fit but the one with the race hump felt closer and more solid while wearing it. This is what we mean by a more aggressive sport oriented fit 💁♂️
@@VetteWerks but this is a new iteration of the same design and minor changes. None of that applies here. Let’s agree to disagree if necessary.
For maximum performance, it's recommended this is worn while driving a GTR
Link me to your only fans please somehow I lost the bookmark

Reach out where? Don’t even tell us your name
If gear manufacturers could quit making gear exclusively for bulimic models that'd be great...
