robblok Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I got a rev it jacket, it is good for me. Its cool enough unless you get caught in traffic. Only thing I have to figure out is how to store it during shopping trips. I might use my helmet bag its locking wire through the arm. I got an expensive helmet and no way am going to let that get stolen so I got a nice helmet bag (pacsafe) to lock to the bike. Just don't want to carry all that stuff when shopping. Ever since i got the ninja 650 and some panniers im using it a lot its a far more comfortable seating position as my former cbr250r 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app I got 2 30 liter panniers but I dont always put them on especially on short shopping trips. I really dislike the look of top boxes. On scooters they are ok as there is not much look to a scooter anyway. But a top box on a bigger bike.. not a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean there is not much to look at anyway? There is as much to look at as any bike, I'll have you know my scooter with the Akrapovic exhaust and chrome bits looks very nice!!

RubberSideDown Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 I've read good things about Rev'It, but I've never owned any of their stuff- Panda Rider is an authorized dealer (I'm sure that's wear you bought your jacket;)) and their prices are excellent.

dogpoo Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Loving my new jacket, it really does feel good and it's not hot, it's even better now I have removed the inner lining, still reeling from the price tag though, what can I do to make myself feel better, ah a big Leo is on the cards. Cheers. Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ll2 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I use revit ignition 2 leather mesh jacket now and really good fit and quality.it is 60 percent leather 40 percent mesh with long cooling zips on wrists. It came with breathable liners etc but useless for thailand so removed them right away and even for 50 degrees celcius bangkok asphalt, it is not hot - for me. Bought it for i remember 12 k after ten discount 'panda rider' discount. I also do not take it off for shopping etc. Just wear it all the time after the ride. I am ok for hot just dont like cold. Looks good to. Could not dare for full leather as have dinaese two piece track suit and was planning to wear it for touring sometime but i feel so hot in it like drowning in my own sweat! So use it for track only. I found revit better quality and totally recommend revit ignition for hot weather of thailand.

ll2 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Thanks krs. Yours looks cool too! I found revit ignition 2 leather-mesh as the perfect balance for thailand. Less sweat, more than enough protection. Use the back protecter from my old jacket in it sometime.

RubberSideDown Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 I still haven't tested mine- I might pick up some shortie gloves at the Motor Expo- they definitely won't work well with gauntlets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
