Performs as advertised, a good mix of features for the price
These pants have served me well for a while now, they are relatively cool to ride in and allow me to add some protection to my daily commute. I have no problem fitting them over my work pants and getting them on and off is pretty quick and painless. The waist is adjustable but still seems to run a little big for the size. Ventilation is quite good at speed. Protection seems good in knees but could be a bit more substantial near the hips. Pockets are a little undersized and tough to get into with gloves on. Other than those minor issues, its a good product and I would recommend purchasing these pants.

Great air flow, dont know about durability yet. and i wonder if the protection is good enough to wear shorts under these. I'll ck with Revzilla.
Oct 2012 I started as a Phila, PA daily commuter. My winter pants are great. Then a warm day in April, i was really hot, pulled into a cycle store, bought summer pants. Very airy but the armour moved all over the place, the knees were constantly on my inner thighs?? RevZilla is not that convenient to me but .. the service is great. (Returned pants bought at 'xyz' store). These Airwave dont look like they'd flow air but do a great job AND... they have a FLY :)

Great Air Flow, Very Comfortable, High Quality
These pants are exactly what I was looking for: Summer pants with standard hip/knee protection which are NOT designed as overpants.
I tried two different sizes: XL-Long and L-Long. I'm 6' @ 185 lbs. I normally wear a 35" waist jeans (impossible to find...) and 32-33" length. The XL-Long was too baggy in the seat and legs. The L-Long fits perfectly, with about an inch of extra length which stays low on the boot when sitting on the bike.
I paired these pants with the Rev'It Ignition 2 jacket -- a great combo.
This is my first set of Rev'It gear -- it won't be my last! While Rev'It comes at a premium price, you get every feature you could want in riding gear. The attention to detail, durable hooks/snaps/zippers plus fit/feel/protection in all in the right places is awesome. If you can afford it, pay for the Rev'It brand -- you won't be disappointed.
Two gears up from me!

Great protection
I feel confident in this pant's protection. The weight was heavier than I expected (thick material) yet the airflow is adequate. My only complaints are that the Velcro tab at the bottom of the pant leg at the boot is tiny. Why? Also, I have the winter version of this pant and actually prefer the zipper on the outside vs the inside of the leg. Seems easier to get on/off.

Excellent summer pant by rev-it!
Pants fit slightly large. I am 5'10" 175 lbs they are slightly baggy and a tad long I chose a medium and the large would have been way too big. Overall very comfortable with excellent air flow. Great pant for the money if looking for a summer pant.
Revzilla ships fast and very well packaged.

Bring Back the European Fit/Sizes! Please!!!!!!
These pants are way too baggy. I only wish that Rev'It would go back to a more European Fit. Too baggy in the A** and the legs. They reminded me of those rap pants of the 80's. The crotch rides up too much as well. The Ignition pants are much more form fitting that these. You would think all Rev'It pants would fit much more universal. I was hoping these pants would have the same/similar fit as the Ignition 2. No such luck! I wish they offered a more slender fit in a longer length. Rev'It please make up your mind if you want to be a European cut or an American cut. Your gear is getting more boxy by the year! I suggest you go back to the CAD machine and give us a much better fit/product! If you're a slender/athletic fit. Your out of luck with these.

Good summer city pants
Depends what u r looking for, these are great. I was looking for exactly these kinda pants. (in fact i'm just ordering me a second pair in white, since i already got black) They're very comfy. easy to quickly put on and off thanks to the great thigh high zipper, very good airflow, but have a good liner (still just one and a half season though so make o mistake), nice to ride in around the town (would get chilly on a cooler day on a highway) and they look low key in the black. Match my A* stealth jacket, Sidi black boots, handroid gloves in black and a black RS1 helmet very nicely. I get a lot of looks (even though that's not as important to me) and respect on the streets (that is lol)
The fit is loose as u'd expect from these kinda pants. I'm 6'6" 245lbs with muscular build and 36" waist and the XL tall fits as good as a guy of my size can expect-little short. But the Sidis i wear are short boots, my A* are taller, that's do the trick but they're white, i like black with these pants, but it's nothing nice knee high black Rev'it socks won't fix so overall i'm very happy
Highly recommend but u must know what u want.
