I had already posted a review on my riding pants - Rev’it Ultimate. As I noted in that review “One of the best and unfortunately not used features of these pants are a full-length and short internal zipper for attachment to Rev’it jackets.” It has been unused because my winter jacket is not Rev’it. Now with a much nicer weather I switched to my Rev’it Airforce jacket.

I remember a while ago seeing Motodisiac wear suspenders to hold his riding pants. He also rides in Rev’it Ultimate and uses Rev’it Cayenne as his riding jacket. “Why don’t you use the zippers?” - I’d asked him. He had told me that he didn’t find them convenient enough to zip up and down (or left to right rather). At the time I left it at that.

A couple of weeks ago it became much warmer around here. And as I said earlier I started using Rev’it Airforce. I have to say that I got used to these zippers really quickly. The short zipper is an absolutely no brainer to use. The longer one does take some getting used to. But once you do it is awesome. Your riding pants never slide down ever again. Even the short zipper holds them in place. Also your lower back is much better protected from the wind.
