I am considering buying a vest and saw from Bennett's review that the TA5 doesn't have a rated chest protection, and other users mentioned the poor usability of the app so was looking at alternatives. I saw Revit have a very similar model.

Can anyone share details of the differences and if anyone has the Revit, provide a review please.

Hello just got myself an NX500 which will be used for touring and some mild dirt roads.

I hav shortlisted the Alpinestar tech 3, TCX x blast, Forma terrain evo tx.

Which one should i go for? considering comfort, safety, durability(not necessary in that order).

So I have been wearing wide toe box european shoes for close to 10 years now. I just tried on and bought a pair of Reax Katana boots that felt okay without socks, but with socks at home were way too tight on my toes. I know most people will just say "you need a size up," - common sense - and I *will* return mine, but it made me realize that my toes aren't typically constricted like this as I'm mostly barefoot and wear barefoot sneakers or sandals that have wide, rounded toeboxes that are actually shaped like a human foot and 100x more comfy

Are there any brands that make wide, rounded toebox motorcycle boots that are more natural and ergonomic on the foot? I foresee tons of pain and discomfort if I have to wear and ride for hours in shoes that are not even shaped like human feet naturally are...almost makes me wanna not wear them at all if there's no better option and just get comfy normal boots without ankle bracing if it means I'm not crushing my feet into triangles...

I have recently got an agv k6s and was wondering how much forehead should be showing. I went from an RF1400 and the amount of forehead showing is crazy. Also on RF1400 my nose sits under the chin guard but the K6s it sits above the chin guard.

Hi! Does anyone know if it’s possible to replace the rubber patch above the toe? I can’t seem to find a replacement part anywhere.

Hey folks.

Family member is willing to hand me down a. Shoei X-Fifteen.

It's a sick helmet so I'm going to take it either way. But my current helmet has little cut outs for speakers.

I dont want or use a fill comm system. I like to just have bluetooth speakers. I only listen to music in my helmet. Dont even need to take calls, if I do i usually just pull over.

Anyone have success with placing speakers in this helmet? If so, any recommendations on what fits well? I imagine most people have a comm system, but not really looking for that.

Thanks

Hi guys, I'm looking to get that piece of gear this Black Friday sale and I need some help from someone who has it. I have a Rev'it Seesoft RV 05 back protector which I've measured to be 50cm long and 2cm thick. The description of the baselayer mentions their Quatroflex back protector which is 46cm long and also 2cm thick. Will I have to get their back protector piece or is there enough space to fit my current one?

I am looking for a good body /shoulder bag around 30 $ for riding it doesn't need to be too big just to fit some camera gear and stuff

Whats the best helmet for high speeds aka a straight line warrior for aerodynamics.

Not sure if this is allowed hear new to this thread.

I’ve been looking at new gear (from bigger name brands Alpinestars dianese etc.) looking to upgrade for my year 2 gear. Shopping online they have the measurement charts problem is I’d wear typically a L/XL jacket for example and if I go a XL it will fit better in the arms, waist (stomach) but will be “baggy” in the chest if I go L it will be tighter in the waist and might be slightly small in the arms (like 1-2cm).

It seems more logical to size up and have a slightly baggy chest area, the pants don’t seem as weird with the sizing as most are inseam waist and length typically.

General advice on fitment for gear and sizing as my first set of gear is a lesser known brand and I guessed on the sizing for the jacket and never did pants.

Hi, just found a sale at a local shop, just wondering if this is anything worth considering. It’s the “blackout” version, not MIPS. I rode on the highway with my friends DLX MIPS and the wind was not that bad, so I’m not entirely sure where all these wind remarks come from on here. It’s between a new cheap helmet like this and trying to score a used shoei on Facebook. I currently wear an old shitty shoei and am tired of the noise.

I don’t have a windscreen on my bike so I care about wind noise but I’m willing to make compromises to stay within my budget (<$150 new or used)

Hi

Has anyone have experience in wearing an airbag jacket in old 1 piece leather suit like Astars tech 1 R.

Obviously wouldn't fit inside the existing one due to fitment but is there an alternative to buying an older 1 piece that is 1 or 2 sizes larger and wearing the jacket tech 5, 7 or 10 on the inside if buying a new suit is too expensive at the moment?

I already have 2 other sets of riding gloves from Street n Steel and Ilm, saw these at HD and it matched my other gear color scheme, but I'm doubtful their protection rating is good

Looks like he’s finally been horny bonked. RIP

I am looking for winter gloves but these gloves should not make me lose my feeling. Do you have any suggestions on this? Thanks in advance.

Hey so I’m trying to get my boyfriend a new jacket for when he rides his motorcycle during the summers, he is located in BC so it never gets too hot but it is still pretty warm. So I’m wanting to go for something with ventilation but also protective. Any advice/ ideas ?

I'm thinking of getting a GoProHero10 but I really want a movement tracker like you see in videos online like Instagram etc. I can't find one that attaches to the motorcycle only the telesin one that is super chunky and doesn't have a mount for the motorcycle. Do you all have any recommendations?

I want to buy a 2pc leather suit for the street and occaisonal track day and are currently tied between the alpinestars gp force chaser v2 and the missile v2. Could anyone reccomend which of these would could be better as they seem very similar to me except the 200€ cost difference.

Okay so, im conflicted choosing between the normal and WP version of the entry level A* sport boots.

With the WP im mostly concerned about breathability during the summer (25/30°c). + I already have an awesome pair of A* J-6 motosneakers that are WP. Also i do live in the Netherlands and rain comes unexpected.

Anybody who has experienced both the non wp and wp version? Or could share their experience with either one of the 2?

Anyone got any recommendations for rain gear? Either with armor or a mid layer. Rain season is coming pretty soon and I want to be prepared.

TLDR: My head measures 58.5cm (23in dead on). I decided to size down based on store employee advice and Shoei website. Now I am concerned whether the helmet will loosen up or not.

My experience: The size M(57-58cm) feels snug around the head, mostly on the cheek pads. I cannot really fit the tip of my index in the forehead area. The L(59-60cm) feels comfortable out of the box, but my index finger can slide up the front easily. I wanted the L but they guy at the store told me the M padding will loosen up (Shoei website also suggest sizing down). After a couple of rides I haven't noticed much difference (1 week), so how long will I need to ride it before I can notice a change?

Went on an after-turkey ride with a brand new Sedici chicane mesh jacket/pants and Forma low adventure boots. Been riding a few years and finally spent a little on some proper gear. Holy chrome it's stiff as a board! All of it! With my old army tanker boots I could shift the Valkyrie comfortably. These I could barely feel a thing and had to really awkwardly shovel for the shifter. Is that just something I'll have to put up with for a while or are boots always pretty bad? Felt less safe in all the safety than I did in my normal not-motorcycle gear.

I ordered these boots, they're pretty comfortable, feel snug, but theres a decent sized gap between the front of my shin and the boot (probably about an inch or 2) . I'm out of town right now for Thankgiving but can get a pic of tha gap and a more accurate measurment when I'm back on Sunday if that'll help. Basically I'm just wondering if the gap is normal/to tuck pants in or not. Recently got my first bike and am putting together gear while it's stored for the winter so I'm not super sure about what I'm doing yet. If they don't fit like they're supposed to, I'm considering the RST Moto Adventure-X CE WP Boots if anyone has thoughts on those.
