jacket + pressure suit?

MalayznSenzashn · 01-24-2013, 10:40 AM

Was lookin at an over sized Rev'it Turbine jacket in the Flea market. Revzilla says I need a size 52eur/42 US. The jacket I'm looking at in the flea market is a 56. I'm usually a 44US in a suit, 5'9" @ 205, kinda built like a running back a little outta season... Okay, maybe a outta couple seasons.

Anyone ever mixed a turbine with a pressure suit? How many sizes did you have to go up? Do you think it will make me look fat?

I have a BMW Santiago in a 46 US is a little snug in the shoulders...hope that helps getting an answer to this mildly silly question... Thanks

I wore a Klim Latitude, size small, over a Klim jersey over Koerta pressure suit, riding in Colorado last summer. I just took the armor out of the jacket and it turned out to be a great combination for the varied weather we encountered on the Colo. Backcountry Discovery Route.

I've read that Revit runs small due to European sizing. Why buy a street jacket to run armor underneath? Enduro jackets are cut to allow armor. I just bought a Fly patrol which I like very much. It's water resistant and has zip off arms and large vents. It's the perfect jacket for me for dual sporting and dirt riding. If you're riding strictly high speed pavement then it's probably not what you're looking for.
