New REV'IT Jackets for Fall

One thing that many of us as women motorcyclists struggle with is finding protective gear that's stylish and safe. What's that balance? How do you find something that lives up to those expectations? 

Well, REV'IT has decided to throw their hat in the ring with 2 new jackets for Fall (with a couple more coming in the Winter, so stay tuned ). The Gracia is a wax cotton, 3/4 length, waterproof jacket with a vintage look and feel. This little number features a removable thermal liner and Knox lite armor in the shoulders and elbows. There's also a pocket for an optional back protector, which will fit Knox or TPro shaped armor.

The second option is the Taksim, offered in black and olive:

The Taksim is also waterproof, with a removable thermal liner and Knox lite armor in the shoulders and elbows. It also has a pocket for an optional back protector. Don't worry, the (fake) fur hood is removable. 

Both of these are priced at $300 and are great options for riding around town on your scooter or motorcycle. I wouldn't recommend them for highway riding or touring/distance rides but definitely kickass alternatives for that short commute across town to work. 

I'm super excited to see these hit the floor at Scuderia soon (most likely October) and will post once I have some real people trying them on (myself included).Â
