Held  top-spec Kevlar Race&Road motorcycle gloves: These Held gloves are amazingly equipped, but the one thing you have to remember about them is simply this: They fit astonishingly, not in a small part due to the BOA-closure at the wrist. Kangaroo palm, Kevlar underlay, d3o backed knuckle armour, turned out seams and Stingray palm sliders do the rest for perfect comfort and protection. Here is a chance to grab one from the #GetGearedGoodies allocation of Held RS 1000 gloves. Another #GetGearedGoodies deal not to be missed.

These Held gloves really are a cut above your premium road & race gloves! Held know a thing or two about making race and sports gloves and the RS 1000 model shows it! Get yourself a pair at the unbeatable "middle of winter" deal price!

  



I bought a pair in the same colour. I have tried many gloves before my purchase, and I must say that these gloves have a [superior] feel when riding: The comfort is great and the feeling is fantastic. Not mentioned in the video is the great ventilation, Kevlar stitching all the way and the Kevlar upper lining with memory foam around the boa mechanism, truly this is the best glove on the market right now. Tested both on track and road an they are great.

The new jean collection from REV'IT! - The perfect motorcycle jeans?

The new jean collection from Rev'It! - The perfect motorcycle jeans?

@GetGeared.co.uk - Online - London & Leeds

3 weeks till Rev It's new motorcycle jeans collection reach our shelves. Read how awesome they really are!

Motorcycle jeans re-thought?


Motorbike jeans have come a long way in the last few years. Several brands are now producing denim jeans that you'd want to be seen in. Rev'It have moved this a step further and made a safe and comfortable motorcycle jean that cares as much about the destination as it does about the journey. By de-constructing what riders want from their jeans and looking at what was already available in the market, Rev'It have pushed the boundary. They have created a range of jeans that outperform all others in terms of wear, temperature regulation, safety and protection as well as style and design. That sounds like a lot of hyperbole but since first seeing these jeans in production a few months ago, I haven't stopped being amazed at them. I'm pretty sure, by the time you've read all the blogs, you will be too!

Rev It jeans comp
Jeans that look and work as well in the pub, as on the road. Click the image to enter.

Cool Jeans: Coolmax fabric


Rev'It have developed these jeans using two tech fabrics, Coolmax and Cordura. These have been developed to counteract the negatives of Kevlar jeans. If you've ever spent time in Kevlar you'll know that they get incredible hot inside. This is because the protection they offer isn't very breathable. We'll talk about how Cordura is designed to fix this later but Coolmax is the first defence against overheating jeans!
Coolmax fabric lines the denim to make the jeans ultra breathable. Coolmax works by wicking body moisture away from the skin and spreading it over the fabric. The fabric is then fast drying, keeping your temperature regulated. Removing body moisture is crucial to comfort. If it's hot out, the moisture will stick to the skin giving an uncomfortable prickly heat. If it's cold, your body moisture cools quickly and that chill transfers to your body. These motorcycle jeans mixed with Coolmax are designed, specifically to keep you comfy and able to wear these jeans on any occasion.

Cool Protection: PWR Shield


PWR shield knit is Rev It's answer to Kevlar and it works in a similar way to Kevlar. It offers abrasion and rip protection to keep you safe and wrapped if you ever meet the tarmac. However where Kevlar has to be knitted within the denim PWR shield is part knitted and part woven. This gives the jeans more flexibility and thins out the fabric making it more comfortable. But PWR shield has more over Kevlar. The PWR Shield knit and weave technique creates two wafer thin layers of protection that are at their strongest when flattened against each other. Like when you fall off your bike. The two layers mesh together on impact and create a tougher, more resistant fabric. This gives the motorcycle jeans a burn time (skidding along the ground time) of over 5 seconds. To put that in to perspective, a standard pair of 501s has a burn time of 0.51 seconds and Kevlar burns out at around 3.5 seconds.

But that's not all! Rev' It have analysed where the impact points on your legs are when you fall. Knowing this means they haven't covered the jeans in the protection but put it where it really matters. This keeps the trousers lighter and more flexible for around town or the office, makes them better for controlling your temperature and are still strong and safe exactly when needed.

And Finally...


The often neglected posterior! Rev' It have turned traditional trouser making on its head and put the bum first! A new diamond stitching pattern enables much more movement and flexibility when straddling your bike. This should help eradicate the numb pain that happens when you've been sat on your bike for too long!

Be unique, be the first. Pre order today!

There are a whole bunch of great things about these jeans. We haven't even touched on the cool styling features, the variety in the range or the inventive durability features. We will publish more about all of the range over the coming weeks as we get closer to the launch date. In the mean time you can view and pre order the whole selection here!

Real World review- GetGeared Customer Paul Carter on the Shoei GT Air Wanderer TC5

GetGeared customer Paul Carter on the Shoei GT Air Wanderer TC5

Initial views in this lid are that it is very impressive. Previously an Arai Chaser V wearer I really wanted to try a Shoei. XR1100s don't fit me properly so I was surprised when the GT-Air snugly sat around my moon-head without any wobble or 'roll-test' problems.

Day1:
Noise assessment - Forgot my plugs (slap wrist) and so the first impression I got on 50mph roads heading into work was that the lid was a lot quieter than I'd hoped - with plugs I'll just be able to hear my own thoughts and enough of the outside world to keep me fully informed.

Home time saw me heading down the motorway as an alternative and (still plug-less) I was again impressed by the quietness of the Shoei. Not too much wind noise at 70 or 80 - something my Chaser wouldn't allow me to do in comfort without plugs, the only annoyance I had was at certain angles there is something that catches a breeze and sounds like there's a fly buzzing around (there wasn't) - not all the time, but annoying when it did it.


 

Cheap Shoei Helmets on sale at GetGeared


Vision assessment - I always thought the field of vision my Arai allowed me was pretty good, but donning the GT was like comparing having the curtains open to having them removed completely - I much prefer the extra peripheral view I now get, especially for those glances when needing to switch motorway lanes.

Misting assessment - none to report, the Pinlock and vents on the Shoei (chin spoiler and breath guard attached) caused no misting at all, even after returning home and sitting in the drive.

Sunvisor assessment - Easy enough to flip up/down on the move, but as yet no need to use it with the low sun. Looks like it'll be decently tinted to not mean me having to squint, but I'll have to wait and see.

My opinion: I thought I'd be Arai through and through, but I must say I'm a convert. I still have my Chaser-V as a back up (and it's got my 2-way Sena fitted to it for convoy riding), but I don't think I'll be cracking out the Arai for anything other than that.

Thanks again to Roger and GetGeared Leeds.


And thank you Paul for taking the time to provide a real-world review. Much appreciated!

Held Outlast Storm Gloves > #GetGearedGoodies Event

Introducing the second #GetGearedGoodies event:
The Held Outlast Storm Gloves

@GetGeared.co.uk - Online - London & Leeds - updated 01/11/2013



Designed for a reliable seal between gloves and jacket sleeve: A specialist double cuff construction ensures that with these motorbike gloves you can slip the inner cuff easily inside the jacket sleeve to keep raindrops out while leaving the outer cuff providing wind protection. The inner cuff is waterproof so no water can seep inside your gloves and the outer cuff has two eyelets to allow any water that has run down the sleeve to escape. Superfabric provides external protection. The Outlast and waterproof membrane lining ensures waterproof and breathable performance that adapts to the outer temperature: more heat retention when it is cold, more heat transfer outward when it is hot. A great commuting and touring motorcycle glove that will see you through rain and shine!

Held Agron Touring Boots > #GetGearedGoodies Event

Introducing the third #GetGearedGoodies event:
The Held Agron Touring Boot

@GetGeared.co.uk - Online - London & Leeds - updated 08/11/2013



Fit, fit, fit! That is probably the only thing you need to know about these boots. The half inner-boot with partial Kevlar lining means the fit of these boots adjusts to your feet like no other type of design. The Boa-lacing closure (see the Boa 'dial' on the back of the boots) ensures the foot & shaft sections are evenly adjusted around your feet no matter what, using just one hand ... and the boot opening is loosened equally quickly.

Waterproof performance: Top-grain leather, backed by Hydroguard, makes these motorcycle boots waterproof. Simply put: They are 'up to the job' regardless of the weather. Shin, toe and ankle protection are as they should be. A great all-round boot for touring or commuting everyday that wins over others simply because of the awesome fit & comfort!




Remember the sale lasts for 100 hours from Saturday morning till Wednesday night. Go here to take part!
