REV'IT decided to shelve their existing collection of motorcycle jeans, sent out a bunch of R&D people, and waited for them to return with a completely new range. Here's the result, in the form of a pair of top of the range motorcycle jeans with triple stitching, tons of fashion awareness, loads of style and most importantly extra safety.
The tapered fit, which is maintained here, is characterized by a tighter fit of the pant legs. Not unimportant if you plan to wear boots under your pants. With a tapered fit this can be a bit of a problem. At the same time, of course, you'll still have enough freedom and room to move above the knee.
Note the details: the color of the rivet buttons and the REV'IT! logo on the inside of the central button indicates the CE certification of these jeans. Red is class AAA (and so is leather), blue is AA, and black is class A, still considered safe.
The basis of these jeans was the cut of a leather motorcycle pants. That says a lot, because they are made to sit on a motorcycle for a longer period of time. Think of the pre-shaped ergonomics that are very obvious in racing pants. Here it's just a little less prominent, although the pants don't fall down completely straight and you can still see the origin in them. The judiciously placed accordion strips (stretch) just above the knee are the secret of the Moto 2 TF and are the basis for many pleasant kilometers.
The height adjustable (there are two pockets) knee protector is an 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 asset, especially in the close-fitting motorcycle jeans, although every pair of motorcycle jeans and wearer benefits from a better-designed protector. Especially when, as in this case, they are well-ventilated and fit literally seamlessly in this 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 are of the SEESMART type, just like the knee protection. This means: flexible, ventilated, and tight.
REV'IT! has opted for "single layer denim" in this latest collection of class AA (and also A) motorcycle jeans. This is the closest thing to 'regular' 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, just one solid base and you're done. In this specific case, the new materials are 'New Stretch Cordura® Denim': wear-resistant, sturdy and yet very comfortable. And also: one layer.
A nice detail: the (seemingly leather) label at the back is in this case 'vegan approved' and therefore not made of leather at all. And we've been fans of the reflective stripe that only becomes visible when you turn over the pant leg at the bottom.
The Moto 2 is supposed to look a bit weathered and can be combined perfectly with a textile or leather jacket that seems to have some years on it.
By using the Safeway 2-belt, these jeans can be zipped to your favorite REV'IT!-motorcycle jacket.
There is maintenance clothing, and then there is clothing maintenance. Good, solid motorcycle clothing is an investment in comfort and personal safety. Invest in its maintenance after your purchase and enjoy your gear for longer.
