Description:

A total of four lined rain suits and six-lined rain pants and put the MOTORCYCLE-test while on the following criteria.

Water-resistance (30 points): extremely important to prevent hypothermia. Because even the slightest traces of moisture on the skin of the body escape at low temperatures in combination with the wind in a very short time very much heat. For the practical test had to hose down MOTORBIKE employees in typical riding position with a large water jet can. Suits and pants that ten of minutes dry to get the full score.

While all the trousers pass the test, it came at the Estate from Germas and REV’IT defect is observed.

Reason: not well-designed diagonal zipper, in its coverage of water collects in the seats. In the area of the thigh and the crotch it sooner or later seeps through the zipper. How it works despite diagonal zipper, shows Louis, where the cover strip is designed so that water can flow even when sitting.

Isolation (30 points): With temperatures barely above zero, it was a Suzuki Bandit 1200 on undisguised test drive. For a better assessment of the insulation capacity of the tester wore only jeans and a sweater-lined under the rain gear. To capture any pneumonia, he drove the pants test combined with a warm Jacket.

Fit (5 points): Arm and leg lengths and the average body should be sufficiently long or turn out well, so the rain gear fits comfortably on the driver’s equipment. Common flaw: too short leg lengths. Posture in the leg slips partly on the boots, who leads to cold spots and also rain water to pass through. Negative striking here is combined and divided by Germas and REV’IT suit – were particularly impressed with thicker Unterkleidung. Mit the best fit, the Spidi Gargoil-pants, which sits snugly and has a high reaching back.

Processing / Equipment (15 points): How clean are processed, candidates, and what features they have? These protector features, pockets, reflective material, carry out all fasteners, adjusters, and are far more. At the station wagon, provided with prepared protector pockets Polo Snow Trooper is in front, reflective material on the pants with protectors on the Spidi Gargoil knees and hips, and striking.

Handling (10 points): On and off with boots should already be possible, if there is only one way to cool. With a little practice and shirring of the pants legs succeed with all models. Also evaluated: the fixing arm and ankles, front shutter or waistband.

Ride (10 points): On the round of testing on road and highway (150 km / h) had to prove their fitness to drive station wagons and pants. In the book the absolute pants flapping freely and not slip seated Spidi Gargoil full points for themselves. At the station wagon, the rugged polo Snow trooper lies ahead. In total all for our program with proper handling.
