Rev'it Air Jacket - webBikeWorld

I've finally seen REV'IT gear upclose & personal. All of the items I saw looked top shelf. Now that I've finally seen the above jacket, it should be on everyone's list to check out when in the market for a mesh jacket.

Since the dealer in question carried REV'IT & Olympia, I was able to compare the REV'IT Air & the Olympia AirGlide side by side. If it was my money, I would get the Olympia by a slight margin. The Olympia was more comfortable & seemed more heavy duty but the REV'IT is $50 cheaper. Since Olympia is carried by just about every dealer in the country (even HD dealers carry the brand) & I've only seen REV'IT in one dealer since I heard about them about a year ago, that makes the decision that much easier. Why? The $50 could easily be spent driving around to various dealers to attempt to locate a REV'IT jacket to try on. I will not order anything from the internet until I've tried the actual aritcle on in person.

KC-10 FE out...
