So, I bought these new Rev'It pants... I want your opinion on a gear combination

Hey guys! I had a really simple question for you guys and although it's kind of personal preference, I really want a 2nd opinion !


I bought the Rev'It Gear pants.

They look like they are constructed VERY well for a 3 season pant (make it 4 seasons with a Gerbings liner haha )



Anyway, I have a Forcefield Pro Pant (full armor front and back) and obviously these pants (Rev'It) are really snug, so I aren't able to put them on with the current size I have now.

My question to you is, I mostly use the Forcefield Pants with my SHIFT Jeans since they don't have any armor in them...but I'm wondering, am I being foolish for not getting a size up to wear them in my new Gear pants?

The Knee armor seems to be fine and will be directly on the kneecap when I am riding. I did buy SAS-Tec hip replacement armor for the pants. This is all the protection I have currently offered from these pants alone.

Do I really need the extra few panels the Forcefield Pro offers? It covers the tail bone, and both cheek bones haha. and obviously what you can see in the picture.

I think the armour in the gear pants is sufficient.

I agree that the armor in the Gear pants should be sufficient. I'm very curious about you opinion of these pants once you put some miles on them. I've also been considering picking up a pair. What jacket are you connecting to them? Thanks for any info you can provide.

I bought the Teknic Supervent Mesh Jacket and I also own the SHIFT SS Street Fighter jacket as well.

I haven't received the Teknic yet, but I'll post back and let you know.

So far, the pants feel very comfortable and looks like it has leather in all the right places. Just wearing these for a few minutes today, I noticed they fit very snug. They aren't baggy or puffy in any places. I love them already...

What prompted me to buy these pants was the low side I had almost a month ago... The Scorpian Deuce pants had a lot of holes in it and I thought it was time to get a better (more decent) pair of pants. I also read a TON Of positive reviews on Revzilla and other places. It seems like these pants partnered with a Gerbings liner will allow me to ride in ANY season, with any weather condition (yes, hot weather too).

I know some members here don't like or trust mesh, but I have read positive reviews to support the fact that it WILL hold up (including the Teknic jacket) in the event of a slide. I didn't want to purchase any gear that could possibly melt against my skin, or fall apart on me.

I did want a Rev'It jacket to connect to the pants, but truthfully I couldn't find anything that was attractive, or allowed me to wear it in 80+ degree weather.

Who gives a rats behind what people on a forum think? If you ate happy that is all that matters.

Personally, Rev'It.
