I have ridden through numerous showers, water and snow,temperatures running between the mid 30's to upper 60's and I have remained dry and comfortable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8902274795054049609.post-2437678942232459872008-09-24T17:45:00.000-05:002008-09-24T17:45:00.000-05:00Gail,My name is Aron and I work for REV'IT!

I would be happy to try and address your problems as these items are still under warranty. If you have the time and inclination, please call me at 888-681-0180 and we can talk about a solution.<BR/><BR/>As was mentioned, Nikwax products certainly help with exterior waterproofing. However, this should not have happened and I am sorry if it caused you discomfort and inconvenience. I can tell you that we are constantly striving to improve our products and are making strides every day to innovate and improve our quality control. I hope to hear from you soon and congrats on the great article in American Motorcyclist!

I mean are you really going to leave the house on the bike if there is a monsoon out there? ;) <BR/>FYI - I did not have the quilted liner in when I got wet, at least I don't think I did...but the quilted liner would get wet...ick. <BR/>Here's the thing, if you've already spend $500 for the REV'IT gear, spend another $79 for a set of First Gear rain gear, then you won't have to fret about getting caught. <BR/>ps. I have not tried the Nik Wax suggestion yet for my current gear, but know plenty of BMW Aerostitch owners who swear by it.SheRidesABeemerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090181977933654976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8902274795054049609.post-68237506047740461502008-02-29T15:47:00.000-05:002008-02-29T15:47:00.000-05:00I read this post with some dismay as I also have t...I read this post with some dismay as I also have the Angel/Factor jacket/pants combo.

Although I got mixed results using this in my 'Stitch. But I think that was due in part to user error, the one piece 'Stitch just didn't swoosh around a household washer enough to properly distribute the product. What I'll do is try just the RevIT coat and hope for better results.SheRidesABeemerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090181977933654976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8902274795054049609.post-5204704518653876192007-10-25T09:15:00.000-05:002007-10-25T09:15:00.000-05:00Try washing your jacket and pants with the Nikwax ...Try washing your jacket and pants with the Nikwax TX.

I...You have very interesting timing for this post. I just finished taking a weekend trip up to New Hampshire and back on my R1150R....sporting my fairly new Rev'it gear. I bought a Cayenne jacket and the Dakar pants. I love how well they fit, and haven't had the issues you have had with regards to different fit with or without the liners. However, I was sorely disappointed with their performance in the rain on my way up Friday.<BR/><BR/>Fortunately, I had some proper rain gear to throw on over top. But by the time I was able to do so, it was too late to keep me from being relatively miserable the rest of the way up that day.<BR/><BR/>I would note that I learned two other gear related issues that day. First, Goretex gloves made my Held aren't as waterproof as they may claim (well, the right glove was. the left leaked like a seive). Second, Oxtar Goretex boots are exactly as waterproof as they claim. I was stuck in that torrential rain on Friday from around noon until 10pm. I even went ankle deep in water on one side road in Connecticut. Despite all of that, my Oxtar boots and Rev'it socks kept my feet bone dry.Laughingdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07788824586959334168noreply@blogger.com
