You don't have to be MotoGP to have fun on the track. And you don't have to spend the same amount of money to wear a high-end racing suit. With the Argon one-piece, REV'IT! delivers a solid and competitively priced base model.
’Entry-level' is the name of the game. And what are we talking about? A little less detail and no neoprene at the collar. A little less adjustability. Just to say: it doesn't mean that you can count on less protection, or that the basic quality of every component is skimped. You can and should touch the curbstones for as long as you would with a full option MotoGP suit.
Those who wish to close the small gap even further should consider buying a Supersonic thermal suit, which offers better temperature regulation than your body can create on its own, and which takes the Argon's comfort to another level.
It's Monaco dull cowhide leather that makes up the bulk of the suit. Wear- and tear-resistant as it should be. And in this case perforated, for good air circulation. REV'IT has incorporated PWR shell stretch material in all the right places, providing freedom of movement, and especially comfort. Patches of accordion fabric above the elbows and knees further enhance comfort.
External protection material consists of shoulder sliders and removable knee sliders. In addition, in case of an emergency, you can rely on a package of internal safety equipment. SEESMART CE-level 1 protectors on the hips (RV30-L1-B) are standard, just like the BETAC CE-level 1 protectors on knees, shoulders and elbows. For those who still don't have enough: the Argon one-piece is prepared to be fitted with an optional SEESOFT CE-level 2 back protector and can also accommodate a SEESOFT CE-level 1 chest protector.
It doesn't need to be explained that it can get pretty warm on and off the track. The mesh fabric at the shoulders of the REV'IT Argon suit acts as a heat sink and chimney. Warm air rises, even in a suit, and it can escape via this route. By the way, when you're fully tucked in and speeding down the straight, you'll still be able to direct wind toward the upper body, thanks to the mesh in the collar.
The flat zippers, at the front, at the wrists and at the end of the pants, are of good quality. The back hump is of course aerodynamically designed for superior airflow on the bike and top performance at high speeds.
We dare to recommend this. As a first racing suit. As an introduction. As a budget-friendly solution for the occasional racer. To the enthusiast, the biker who wants to count on a full protection, and who doesn't need too many frills. We dare to recommend it.
There is maintenance clothing and then there is clothing maintenance. Good, solid motorcycle clothing is an investment in comfort and personal safety. So invest in its maintenance after your purchase and enjoy your gear for longer. We put the best tips and tricks on this maintenance page.
