REV'IT! at Canadian Tire

That's a $300 mesh jacket here in Aus. I have the mesh pants which I quite like given the heat here. I had a problem with the stitching which they replaced right quick under their 2 year warranty. The model was discontinued.
Same problem developed but did not pursue....I just live with it.

Scored a pair of their discontinued Sand gloves for $50 in what appeared to be OEM retail packaging which are very well made....more than I need but feel secure in them.
I'm still unsure if knock off or not ...for $50 all in shipped they are solid value against the $173 retail here. I do wonder how these large scale brand names move out last years models.

The pants feel light and I also replaced the armour with CE2.

I watched a tour Noraly did if the facility in Netherlands and quite impressed with their tech effort.

Certainly more durable than the heavily discounted HWK brand where stitching feel apart ....HWK did refund under warranty tho.

Just an FYI . I also recently purchased the Rev IT Elcipse 2 mesh jacket. Not from CDN Tire. It doesn't come with the back protector. I purchased the one from Rev IT separately. So there is some added cost.

I purchased the jacket today, seems of good quality. Same no back armour

The crotch seams in my Rev'it mesh pants started to fail. Lots of stress at that point. I just darned the crap out of the area on the sewing machine. Yes, I bonded the outer and the inner layers, but solved the problem.

Wow! I have that blue armour in one of my Rev'it jackets and I really like it.

It honestly looks like a blank. Has most of Rev'it's general design queues from their current street textile line, just missing all of the styling. Like as if someone thought there was an ODM (original design manufacturer) market for motorcycle jackets, massively overstocked it and then CT got it on deep discount.

I suspect they are budget offerings made specifically for Canadian Tire.

Similar to how brands have Costco specific items (i.e. clothes) manufactured to a lower price point.

From a business perspective, it's really interesting to analyze when a brand decides to accept or decline a special order (which seems to be one of the considerations behind Rev'it's current lineup at CT).

The brand not only has to consider the financial implications but also the qualitative ones. For example, how would existing customers perceive that decision? Some might even ask why they paid more for the regular product than someone placing a special order. The analysis also needs to account for the possibility that the brand could lose a portion of its customer base because of that decision.

All in all, I'll probably pick up one of these jackets for my wife. She doesn't have a mesh jacket yet, I like materials, feel and finish of the two Rev'it riding jackets my wife and I currenltly own, thus this seems like a good option.

Not having a sewing machine or the skills to use it I put up with the minor additional airflow. I wear padded motorcycle shorts anyways.
I see some of their more expensive pants have reinforcement there so they must know it's a weak area. Warranty girl claimed mine was the only claim
