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. The result is a set of top of the range motorcycle jeans with triple stitching, tons of fashion awareness, lots of style and most importantly extra safety.
This pair of motorcycle jeans with its 'regular fit' comes closest to the traditional straight down pants. No flared pant legs, no narrow legs, no peculiar lines. Just right.
Note the details: the color of the rivet buttons, and the REV'IT! logo on the inside of the central button, signals the CE certification of these biker jeans. Red is class AAA (which is also the class of leather), blue gets you to AA, and in black, class A still stands out as safe.
The height adjustable (there are two pockets) knee protector is an RV36 SEESMART CE-level 1 knee protector. Sleek and slim, and more contoured 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, as is knee protection. That means: flexible, ventilated and tight.
The pockets - here the same five ones as on "normal" jeans - are reinforced at the edges. No attempt at protection, but an effort to give the Lombard 3 RF a longer lifespan. Experience has taught REV'IT that frayed edges are actually more often the weak spot than effective sliders.
The 'washing' of a pair of jeans is not unimportant, and often a personal choice. REV'IT! has opted for a laser-washing process, which not only produces excellent visual results, but also prevents premature wear of the denim. Denim comes in colors and sizes, and these may vary according to taste. The Lombard 3 RF comes in two versions: used dark blue and used dark grey. Perfect for the stretchy, slightly weathered look of a rugged pair of motorcycle jeans, in other words.
Another 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 have been fans of the reflective stripe that only becomes visible when you turn over the pant leg at the bottom.
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. Invest in its maintenance after your purchase and enjoy your gear for longer.
