When it comes to casual riding pants, it's very hard to think of anyone that does it as well as Rev'it! Sport. We have talked with tons of brands about the balance of impact protection and usability, and technical fabrics vs. Kevlar liners, but Rev'it! seems the be the only brand getting it absolutely right every time.
Their success lies in a combination of technical fabrics that are abrasion resistant, and much thinner/ cooler than Kevlar lined pants, and their patented See-Smart padding in the knees, which is more flexible and much less intrusive than many other knee pads.
Out at AIMExpo in Orlando this year, the Alpha Chinos were one of many Rev'it! pieces that caught our eye, so we asked Tracy to tell us a little bit about the pants and the technology that went into them.
