SInce this is such a sleepy section of the forum, I'd like to start a new discussion about new for 2018 Gear that people have purchased they'd like to discuss here, or even stuff they'd LIKE to buy.
Let's limit to Helmets, Gloves, Boots, Jackets, Pants, etc. Body Wear new for this year, not just new to You.
Personally, I haven't seen anything YET that has compelled me to give up my $$$, but I am on the hunt for a new Top of Line all-season Textile Riding "Suit".
I HAVE noticed that there's ALOT of KLIM, Dainese, and Rukka Gear on Clearance at Revzilla which makes me think the new stuff is coming in March or sooner.
For those that know me, I've declared my interest in the ReviT Dominator GTX set, and I was able to have a dialogue with a Revi't Rep on the ADVRider Site, confirming that they'll continue production of that gear through 2018, but dropping the white/grey set and offering only Black. Not great news, but not bad either.
Currently, this Suit has limited availability in the U.S. due to production issues that Rev'it sites as "a shortage of Goretex Armacor and Superfabric" textiles, with availability resuming sometime in the first of 2018.
I'll continue to HOPE that means that other manufacturers are also using these awesome materials in their newer models, and we'll see more offerings come springtime.
Please add your insights and knowledge to this post, and let's jumpstart some dialogue on this section! :beerchug:
