REV'IT decided to shelve its existing collection of motorcycle jeans and sent out a bunch of R&D people after them and waited for them to come back with a completely new range. See the result, in the form of a set of top-of-the-range motorcycle jeans with triple stitching, tons of fashion consciousness, lots of style and most of all extra safety.
The tapered fit, which is maintained here, is characterized by the narrower pant legs. Not unimportant if you plan to wear boots under your pants. With a tapered fit that fit can be tricky. At the same time, of course, you still have enough freedom and room to move above the knee.
The Davis TF is inspired by traditional work pants, with pockets at knee height, and that makes it (and in this camel color) a striking and interesting option.
REV'IT! has opted for 'single layer denim’ in this latest collection of class A (and also AA) motorcycle jeans. This is the closest thing we have to jeans in terms of appearance and comfort. This is only possible because the materials are now stronger than anything that came before. No six layers of fabric, no, one solid base and you're done. These new materials, in this specific case New Stretch Cordura® Denim': wear-resistant, sturdy and yet very comfortable. And thus: one layer.
The color of the REV'IT! logo on the inside of the central button signals that this pair of jeans is CE certified. Red is Class AAA (which is also the class of leather), blue is AA, and black is class A, which is still more than safe.
For those of you who don't know all that much about this: these are still biker jeans, not motor racing suits. Still, even a certified class A is always better than a traditional pair of jeans, and the wear resistance of the AAA class is twice as high. An 'AA', like this Davis TF, is logically somewhere in between. A pair of motorcycle jeans combines this wear resistance with - important! - a lot of other specific properties, which makes you more comfortable on your bike.
The pockets - two slit pockets and two back pockets - are reinforced at the front and at the edges. Not an attempt at increased protection, but an effort to give the Davis TF a longer lifespan. Experience has taught REV'IT! that frayed edges actually turned out to be the weak spot more often than effective sliders.
The height-adjustable (there are two pockets) knee protector is a RV36 SEESMART CE-level 1 knee protector. Sleek and slim, and more pre-shaped than anything REV'IT has used before. The slight curve is an advantage, especially in these close-fitting biker jeans. Especially if, as in this case, they are also well-ventilated and literally fit seamlessly into the jeans of these generation of motorcycle jeans. Protectors like these are custom-made, and come in left and right versions.
Hip protectors are standard from the AA class upwards, and just like the knee protection are of the SEESMART type. That means: flexible, ventilated and tight.
The washing is not unimportant for jeans, and is often a personal choice. REV'IT! has opted for a laser-washing process, which, in addition to providing excellent visual results, also prevents premature wear of the denim. Denim comes in a variety of colors and sizes, and these may vary according to taste.
Another nice detail: the (seemingly leathery) label on the back is in this case ‘vegan approved' and therefore not made of leather at all. And the reflective stripe that only becomes visible when you turn over the bottom of the pant leg, we have been fans for a long time.
By using the Safeway 2-belt, these jeans can be zipped to your favorite REV'IT! jacket.
There is maintenance clothing, and then there is clothing maintenance. Good, solid motorcycle clothing is an investment in comfort and personal safety. So invest in its maintenance after your purchase and enjoy your gear for longer.
