I have used them on a scooter and a naked bike, although I shouldn't, as they are intended for motocross - off-road use. I bought them to try them out because of the rave reviews about their feel. For road use, they offer no protection, apart from the fabric "pad" on the palm and have no certification for protection. The material does not seem very resistant to friction. Indeed, they have a great fit, but it is not much different from all the summer fabric motorcycle gloves with protections. They have the best ventilation in the summer to the point where you can't use them in other seasons. It's like not wearing gloves at all. The fox sizing chart is accurate. The velcro does not seem like it will withstand the test of time and may fray / not fasten. A fair purchase for someone who wants perfect ventilation, fit, and does not want gloves with protections. However, for their price, there are many very good summer gloves with protections and good ventilation.

Arctic Hunter B00478 Waterproof Backpack Backpack for 15.6" Laptop Black
at 2024-04-11Very good bag for everyday use regarding the money it costs. It fits the laptop and has pockets with enough space for extra things. It is not fully waterproof, as in heavy rain the items will get wet, especially those in the front pocket, but it performs much better than some non-waterproof or fabric bags. I noticed wear on the top part of the waterproof plastic above the zipper. I hope it proves to be durable over time overall.

Premier Hyper HP92 Motorcycle Helmet Full Face ECE 22.06 with Pinlock
at 2024-04-01Verified purchaseValue for money race helmet. Used on a naked bike. Shell made of fiberglass (dyneema-aramid-carbon). It has a very good fit, tight and hugs the head (head circumference 55.5cm, size Small). Includes chin strap and nose piece. Comes with a tinted visor in the box and small foam pads that you can use to adjust the internal size of the helmet by placing them inside the cushions according to the fit you desire. Very good quality materials and lightweight for ece22-06 (1300 +-50 g). The central buckle secures very tightly. The visor has notches and stays open. The speaker pockets for the intercom fit perfectly without bothering the ears (they are narrow, may bother some with large ears, wide faces, or intercoms with large speakers). Quiet above average, but at high speeds there is significant noise from the wind (solved with earplugs). It has amazing ventilation (you can feel the air entering the head from both vents when they are open). Includes pinlock 30 (negative that it doesn't have pinlock 70 or 120 at this price). Very high-quality d-ring buckle. Negative that the cushion fasteners require quite a bit of pressure with the fingers to secure. In the cons, the visor change mechanism is a bit difficult and requires attention, as I broke a tooth from two tinted visors by pulling them the right way. This may be due to a defective batch. The specific graphic is matte. I don't know if I would prefer the premier again for the reasons of the visor and the lack of spare parts, but I am quite satisfied with the helmet.

Rev'IT Apex Air H2O Winter Women's Motorcycle Jacket Waterproof Black/White
at 2024-04-01Verified purchaseOwner for a year, purchased for 216€. Suitable for tourism but also for the city. I do not believe it will adequately protect in a fall at high speeds (such as the revit levante or tornado which have stronger weave) due to the large ventilation panels and A friction certification. It is a rev'it eclipse 2 with a sporty fit, logos, and lining. It has very good ventilation from 15 kilometers per hour, satisfactory even at 40 degrees. It includes excessively soft, comfortable, and large level 1 seesmart protectors on the elbows, shoulders, and external plastic protectors on the shoulders. It includes an internal waterproof / windproof hydratex lite lining that buttons from the inside but can be worn as a waterproof over the jacket or as a separate jacket as it is elastic and buttons with its own zipper. With the lining it becomes quite warm, suitable for the intermediate seasons Spring - Autumn. The rev'it size chart is accurate. It has a sporty fit but also leaves space available and can accommodate more body types. The back protector is sold separately (40€). The pockets are satisfactory for small items. I am very satisfied for use in 3 seasons (Summer - Spring - Autumn). Value for money and 2 jackets in one.

Rev'IT Factor 4 Women's Winter Motorcycle Waterproof Pants Black
at 2024-03-15A very high-quality winter motorcycle pant. It has very sturdy, durable zippers for connecting the lining. It is very warm with the lining, but the lack of air vents reduces its usability in the summer. Satisfactory pockets for small items. It looks a bit long when worn in a standing position, but when sitting, the length is just right. The protection does not sit exactly on the knee when standing, but as soon as you sit on the motorcycle, it aligns perfectly (I am 1.65m tall with a 75-76cm inseam). It includes adjustment pockets for the protector in two lower positions for taller riders. It belongs to the AA abrasion resistance class and includes level 2 knee protectors and level 1 for the hips. The boots fit comfortably both from the top and from the inside due to the zipper that opens at the bottom. The slide lock system is a bit annoying as it does not offer the ability to fasten in other positions, but it is very stable and easy to use. Its fit is quite snug even without the lining. It cannot be worn over other pants (only over some thermal/leggings). The sizing of rev'it is accurate. It is worth more than its price. One of the best, if not the best choice for pants up to €200.

A very basic mid-season glove. It does not provide protection in very cold weather (below 10 degrees) unless there are heated grips or hand warmers. Air passes through in a minimal amount, so they do not offer effective insulation (the no wind claim is a lie). The construction quality is not good and they will not withstand the test of time. The protectors are soft and not certified for motorcycle use according to the EN1621-1 standard. It is not waterproof, but it can withstand light rain. However, because it is very thin, it has good contact with the motorcycle controls. If you have the option, choose something more expensive.

Very good pants. Nothing penetrated it during hours of rain. Comfortable, high quality, with a mesh inside to breathe and straps to adjust at the bottom of the leg. I recommend it.

I have the previous model Stella T Kira, which does not differ in anything from this one apart from the appearance. It is a sport-type motorcycle jacket suitable for tourism as well as for the city. The women's sizing of Alpinestars is accurate. It has a snug fit and the right size does not allow you to wear thick clothes underneath, but it hugs the body and does not hinder movement. It is very warm (tested up to -5°C without extra thermal layers, only with its thermal lining) as you feel the cold of the environment without it penetrating through. At 15 degrees, it is unbearable with the thermal lining. The air vents are rudimentary as with the waterproof lining (moisture does not penetrate it) that it has under the fabric, the air does not reach the body, but they create a small temperature difference when open, suitable for Spring - Autumn. It belongs to the Class A abrasion certification. It has simple soft type level 1 protections on the elbows and shoulders. There is a pocket for the back and chest protector that is very difficult to access. I would not buy it again due to the design, which makes it excessively difficult to insert and remove the protectors for washing, etc. I am very satisfied with its performance on the road.
