Do you think the airwave 4 pants are wide enough at the knees to use kneebraces (Alpinestars SX-1 V2 style) ?

@dblv 22 күн бұрын

@@cpt.kimintuitiondemon yes, I think so

@MrRplo 23 күн бұрын

Design flaw for the Knox is the internal back protector pocket/sleeve. The back protector pocket inside the jacket is solid material vs. mesh which prevents air from flowing out the back and would likely trap moisture between the back pocket/sleeve and your body. If Knox made the entire back protector pocket/sleeve mesh, similar to the Rev It, it would be perfect.

@@MrRplo it's a good point. They probably needed to double up on the material on the back in order to pass CE AA. AFAIK the whole back is considered a slide zone, while the chest is not. On the subject of design flaws and airflow, I think another issue with the Knox is that a skin tight base layer cut is not good for comfort in hot and sticky situations. But again, I think as a whole it does a good enough job of keeping you comfortable, especially compared to the Honister which has no mesh at all.

Great review! Thank you. I am actually considering choosing between this Knox and the Revit Nucleus but there are hardly any reviews of the latter. The Knox is a bit too expensive and the Nucleus is a bit less so. Both might be a bit awkward for my odd measures - in cms. 177 height, 118 chest, 97 waist, 190 "wing-span" and 82 kg - the form fitting might be odd on me. Regards.

@dblv 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for the comment, gld you found it useful. Rev'it as a whole needs more reviews, I quite like what they're doing. Yeah with those measurements it might be tough to get a perfect fit. The Knox stretches quite a bit so you can definitely get some leeway there though.

@@dblv Hello! I ended up ordering the XXL for the Knox Urbane Pro mk3 (online from Biker Outfit in the Netherlands, I am in Portugal) which arrived yesterday. I was worried that it could be a bit big but it fits me fine, just a tad loose on the waist, but not too long on the waist ant perfect on the chest, shoulders and my long arms. First impressions: very good jacket, a bit warmer than expect when standing still but considerably more vented than my Merlin Shenstone which is also vented. First annoyance: the internal mobile pocket is too high and narrow and that makes it a pain to insert and remove the phone, especially due to the grippy case on the mobile. I believe it has potential to become my most used jacket. Thank you for your review, again.

@@mpimpaophoto2075 Boa tarde. Suponho que seja Português. Estou seriamente a pensar em trocar o meu fato Bering por opções da KNOX. Não conhecia a marca, mas tenho andado a ver videos e o site deles. Agrada-me a versatilidade dos equipamentos e as opções que propõem. Que me pode adiantar acerca do casaco que me mandou vir? Qualidade do material, conforto, aspecto, refrigeração, bolsos, etc? Vale a pena? Obrigado! Boas curvas! ✌️

@mpimpaophoto2075 2 ай бұрын

@@marioramos6840 Viva! Mandei vir o casaco esta semana e tenho apenas dois dias de uso, pelo que o feedback não é ainda muito informado. Tenho outros casacos e este parece-me, comparativamente, bastante confortável, é bastante arejado, embora, nestes dois últimos dias, pelo menos em Aveiro, o calor não seja muito porque está bastante vento. Para referência, tenho usado apenas uma t-shirt por baixo e anda-se muito bem ainda que a velocidades contidas porque não sou de grandes acelerações na minha "big" trail. É bastante confortável, como disse, mesmo usado por baixo de um casaco de "uso normal", ou seja, sem protecções. O bolso para o telemóvel é irritantemente apertado para um iphone 11 com capa, em especial porque esta é de borracha e prende e porque o bolso está muito em cima. É um detalhe mas quando se tem que ligar e desligar o TLM do Carpuride (no meu caso) ou para outro efeito, torna-se irritante. Como a "gola" é redonda e relativamente justa, talvez não dê muito jeito para usar camisas com colarinho por baixo, mas talvez não seja grande problema. Quanto ao tamanho, as medidas do fabricante parecem-me realistas e imagino que numa pessoa com proporções mais "normais" do que as minhas o casaco possa ser do tipo curto na cintura. Para mim seria um inconveniente porque ando sempre "com a fralda de fora", seja polo ou t-shirt o que significaria que a camisola seria um bocado mais longa que o casaco. Porém, como tenho que usar um XXL para me servir nos ombros, peito e braços, acaba por ficar um pouco mais comprido em baixo. Para quem use as camisolas trilhadas não será um inconveniente. Em geral, e resumindo, é carote mas geralmente fujo do material barato (porque me costuma gerar arrependimentos) e, pessoalmente, e até ver, dou por bem empregue o dinheiro, em especial pela grande versatilidade de poder usar outros casacos por cima quando estiver mais fresco. Espero ter ajudado. Se for da zona (Aveiro) posso mostrar-lho para ver o que lhe parece pessoalmente. Cumprimentos (Nota: estava a responder de uma conta do KZfaq diferente, daí poder ter recebido uma notificação de outro user com esta resposta mas que apaguei)

@dblv 2 ай бұрын

I'm glad it was useful. I wasn't aware of the Kompass Air until now, but going just off photos and description, think it will be less breathable. The chest and back vents might be enough to keep you alert and functional, but it seems like the arms and arm pits will be sweaty. Also, there's no CE rating on the jacket, so it's hard to know. Could be A equivalent.

Many thanks for the review, I'm still semi-confused though, as to what size. I measure 19cm in length and 21cm around knuckles. Do you think my hand being that touch smaller in length a M would fit me better and i wouldn't have your issue of finger length? Such a shame this glove is barely available in Australia, I can also not go in store and try it on.

The guy in the shop says it will loose in palm area after a month usage since he uses the same gloves. I think m gonna buy XL. Thx for the vid again..

Yeah as amazing as the concept of protection these things are trying to deliver on they really do fit like shit.. I had to do the same thing. Measured in @ a large, bought an xl expecting fuckery. Still having sizing issues with the leather mk2s. The sliders are like an inch or more high, it doesn't fit the L of either hand worth a shit with a huge gap but all fingers fit nicely other than the thumb being long as described, boa system wire takes fiddling just so it rides where its supposed to on the leather otherwise when tightening it ends up on my wrist.. leather bunches up on the back of the hand with mad pressure points inside due to folds of sewn material digging in your hands. As obnoxiously large as the floating knuckle is with it providing maximum protection, it only seems to provide protection for my little and ring finger knuckles as well as a missed opportunity to provide more venting which it doesn't. Pretty absurd honestly how wonky they are. Wanted to love em, turns out the opposite holds true. They're going back.

@dblv 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah glove sizing especially is quite tough. Have you found any gloves that you love? I've come around on the long thumb on these Orsas: when my palms are on the grips, my thumbs are pushed into the glove and they fit well. The internal sewing is a bit uncomfortable, I agree with you there. Not unbearable, but definitely leaves a lot to be desired. The palm sliders seem fine to me but thankfully I haven't had to test their effectiveness yet. Does the placement look fine to you in the video?

I don't wear a watch so I can't say for sure. If you don't fully tighten the boa, and your watch isn't too thick, you might be able to get away with it. Or maybe you could shift the watch further up your forearm. But yes, if I wore a watch, these gloves probably would not be my first choice.
