REVIÍT! Riding Gear - Long Term Honest Review!

In this video, I will tell you how was my REVÍT! gear, jacket, pants, thermal underwear, and boots, on this long trip from Varna to Magadan and back. The gear that I used on this trip was an Offtrack 2 jacket, Dominator GTX pants, and Expedition H2O boots.
During my last trip, I had temperatures from + 3 to 36. All possible riding conditions: cold, hot, rain, mud, wind, and all together at the same time. I also had a lot of dusty days.
I haven't tested the gear only on snow and crash accidents, and I hope I won't be able to do it any time soon!

    One good options to get your boots dry is to put inside old newspapers or something similar. It absorbs humidity quite fast. Just put inside and than change it in 2-3 hours. I did it several times while riding BAM road where you have to cross rivers 10 times a day. Thanks for video!

    I know this, Kosta, but this cannot dry it completely. My boots were wet because I was walking in deep rivers. the water fill them from the top. You cannot dry it for 2-3 hours with newspapers.

    @@motorcycleadventures I think he means, to change against fresh newspaper. Obviously, you can't dry boots that wet in 2-3 hours unless you use an electric blower, and even that I wouldn't bet on. But overnight is a chance with the newspapers. In Finland we also had lot's of water in the boots from the upside, it always meant riding till end of day with wet feet. All we did after such river crossings was pull them off, wring the socks, pour the contents of the boot into the scenerey and reassemble. Drying overnight is easy in a Sauna. Only do your Sauna before putting them in.

As opposed to a fully impermeable rain shell, where most of the water bounces off. I still use goretex, but if it's going to rain all day I chuck a shell on over the top.

I just wanted to ask ,because mine hasn't arrived yet, if it gets cold from the small ventilation holes on the neck area without wearing any of the liners?

Then you can get 5 days of rain in a row… Then going down to Patagonia the wind, rain, and intense cold begin. It would be great if you tried REVIT STRATUM GTX and let us know your opinion. Thanks

Except an annoying stud that ripped through the material right at the belt buckle (which I promptly fixed) everythig else is good. I had some cayenne gloves but those tore a hole at the left finger tip (yeah it's me not always having cut fingernails ... but still) and the stitching came loose on the same finger tip I think. Anyways, I don't have revit hands as it were, alpinestars fit me perfectly though. All in all good gear and it looks handsome. Those revit boots though, NO WAY IN HELL am I'm going to pay that price. Heavy duty alpinestars, with gore tex are almost half the price.
