REV'IT! Airwave 2 Lady Pants Black

This specification indicates how well the motorcycle pants protects against wind and rain. Depending on the pants type and membrane, protection can range from maximum, fully waterproof and windproof performance to wind-only protection or no protection against rain.

• Gore-Tex waterproof: the pants features a premium Gore-Tex membrane providing the highest level of water and wind protection. Even during prolonged and heavy rain, the pants remains fully waterproof while maintaining optimal breathability. The ultimate reference for riders seeking uncompromising protection, long-lasting comfort, and top performance in all weather conditions.
• Waterproof: the pants has a waterproof membrane, offering full protection against wind and rain. Protection is reliable, although breathability is generally lower than with Gore-Tex.
• Windproof: the pants effectively blocks wind, but does not provide full protection against rain.
• Not waterproof: the pants provides no protection against rain and is only suitable for dry conditions.

The “Membrane” specification explains how the waterproof membrane is integrated into the pants. Its placement affects comfort and performance in different weather conditions.

• Laminated: the membrane is directly laminated to the inside of the outer fabric. This prevents water absorption and keeps the pants light, dry, and comfortable, even in prolonged rain. It is the highest-quality construction for wet conditions. These pants typically have limited ventilation and can feel warm in summer.
• Removable: the membrane can be zipped in or out, making the pants versatile. Place it in for waterproofing during rain, or remove it for extra ventilation in warm, dry weather. Because the membrane sits under the outer layer, the outer fabric can still get wet, making the pants heavier or colder.
• Over and under: identical to a standard removable membrane, with the key difference that it can be worn both over and under the pants. Because it can be worn over the pants, it is often better finished and more aesthetically refined than a membrane that can only be worn underneath. The main advantage of wearing it over the pants is that the outer fabric of the pants stays dry.
• Fixed: the membrane is permanently integrated into the pants but is not laminated. It provides reliable waterproofing, but the outer fabric can absorb water. This type combines protection with a simple construction and is often a more budget-friendly solution.
• None: the pants does not contain a waterproof membrane and therefore offers no protection against rain. Suitable for dry weather or when used with a separate rain pants.

The thermal lining in motorcycle pants provides extra warmth and insulation for riding in cold weather. There are three possibilities:

• No: the pants do not have a thermal lining and are suitable for normal or warm conditions.
• Yes, removable: the thermal lining can be removed, making the pants versatile for different temperatures. Perfect for rides where weather conditions may vary.
• Yes, non-removable: the thermal lining is permanently integrated into the pants, ensuring extra warmth and insulation during cold rides at all times, but it cannot be removed.

Les protections de hanches offrent une sécurité supplémentaire en cas de chute et aident à prévenir les blessures aux hanches. Les options sont :

• Non : le pantalon ne comporte pas de protections de hanches.
• Oui : le pantalon est équipé de protections de hanches conformes à la norme européenne CE, certifiées Level 1 ou Level 2. La marque des protections peut également être indiquée.
• Non, prêt à recevoir des protections CE : le pantalon dispose d’un emplacement pour ajouter des protections de hanches certifiées CE, permettant d’augmenter la sécurité si souhaité.

Coccyx (tailbone) protection provides extra safety in case of a fall by reducing the impact on the tailbone.

The “Type” of a motorcycle pant indicates how many removable layers the pant has and how versatile it is in different weather conditions:

• 1-in-1: the pant has no membrane or a fixed membrane and no removable thermal lining.
• 2-in-1: the pant has a removable membrane or a fixed membrane with a removable thermal lining.
• 3-in-1: the pant has both a removable membrane and a removable thermal lining. This type offers maximum versatility, suitable for hot, wet, and cold conditions.

The connection zipper of a motorcycle pant allows the pant to be zipped to a matching jacket for extra protection and windproofing. Note: not every jacket fits every pant, as the length, teeth type, and zipper design can vary by brand. There are zippers that run around the pant, short zippers, or both. The options are:

• Yes, around and short: the pant has both a short zipper and an around zipper to attach to a jacket.
• Yes, short: the pant has a short connection zipper to attach to a jacket, provided the jacket also has a short zipper.
• Yes, around: the pant has an around zipper for full connection to a jacket.
• No: the pant does not have a connection zipper and cannot be attached to a jacket.

Suspenders help keep the pant in place and provide extra comfort while riding. The options are:

• Yes: the pant comes with suspenders included.
• Optional: the pant is prepared with attachment points for suspenders sold separately, so you can add them if desired.
• No: the pant does not have suspenders and is not prepared for attaching them.

An adjustable waist allows the pant to fit better and remain comfortable while riding. The options are:

• Yes: the pant has an adjustable waist, allowing you to customize the fit.
• No: the pant does not have an adjustable waist and the fit is fixed.

Height-adjustable knee protectors allow you to adjust the position of the knee protection according to your body length, ensuring optimal safety while riding. The options are:

• Yes: the knee protectors are height-adjustable for a better fit and optimal protection.
• No: the knee protectors have a fixed position and cannot be adjusted in height.

Stretch zones in a motorcycle pant consist of elastic panels or ribs that stretch with every movement. They provide greater freedom of movement and comfort while riding. The options are:

• Yes, at crotch, knees and lower back: the pant has stretch zones on all key movement points for maximum flexibility.
• Yes, above the knees: stretch zones are present above the knees, improving leg movement while bending.
• Yes, above the knees and lower back: stretch zones are located above the knees and in the lower back for extra comfort during both leg movements and seating position.
• No: the pant does not have specific stretch zones.

A leg zipper is located at the bottom of the pant leg and along the side of the leg. It allows the pant leg to be opened, making it easier to put the pants on and take them off. Some pants do not have a zipper, but instead feature a long flap closed with velcro that provides the same functionality.

• Side zipper up to below the knee: the zipper runs from the bottom hem of the pants to just below the knee for easy dressing and undressing.
• Side zipper up to above the knee: the zipper extends above the knee, suitable for pants that need a wider opening.
• Velcro only: the pants do not have a zipper, but instead a long flap closed with velcro.
• None: the pants do not have a zipper or velcro closure at the bottom of the legs.

The outer material of a motorcycle pant determines the durability, protection, and comfort of the pant. Textile pants are often made from materials such as polyester, polyamide, or ripstop, while leather pants are, of course, made from leather. Each material offers its own combination of abrasion resistance, flexibility, and weather protection.

The “Type of membrane” specification indicates which type or brand of membrane is used in the pants, if present. Not all motorcycle pants contain a membrane; this specification does not apply to pants without one. The membrane determines the pants’s wind and water resistance and also affects breathability. Well-known membranes such as Gore-Tex or other specialized membranes provide an optimal balance between rain protection and riding comfort.

Reflective material on a motorcycle pant increases the rider’s visibility in low light or darkness. This contributes to riding safety.
