I’m the same height and weight as you and had the exact same issue with their jersey. I wear a size L Proteus and got a L in the jersey to wear over it, but I was swimming in it, particularly the length. I’m going to try the Territory jacket next and see if thats a better fit.
Thanks! Figured I’d work on refining my stuff a bit. Only thing I’m selling out is all the gear I dont keep 🤣. Not like all the YTers that are suddenly wearing a brand’s stuff in all their videos…
@@cblais19 I find it awfully hard to take some guys’ claims of being “independent motorcycle journalists” serious right after they admit to taking a commission from sales links lol.
Hi! Pretty nice review comparing these models! Do you think it could be a good idea combining the Nucleus, Component and a Gore-Tex pants like the Poseidon 3 for a touring set? I’ll be making a 15 day trip to the Atacama desert and will be facing temperatures from 46 to 95.
I found the Nucleus a bit bulky personally, and loose on my arms. I think the Supershirt / Pando Commando / or just a Proteus or similar armored shirt + a rugged jersey would be preferable. I bake in goretex pants >70f, but if you don't that would be a solid combo otherwise.
I'm looking for a new jacket to wear over my proteus on the way to the trails. I currently wear my street jacket(revit torque 2) without armor. However it packs super bulky when I end up removing it on the trail. Would you say the revit territory packs relatively small? I'm thinking of going for the revit territory for the abrasion resistance. Or I may just roll the dice with a mosko moto surveyor over a mosko moto workhorse jersey(similar to the revit jersey) and hope with my armor that's enough.
I have a similar problem and actually have the proteus as well which has been great, but I am actually considering one of the new abrasion resistant "shirts" like the Adventure Spec Super Shirt (their are some other brands with similar). You might want to check those out. Won't be as cool as ditching the jacket and wearing just the Proteus but it is AA rated whereas the Territory jacket is only A. Which is not much on pavement. My plan is to possibly get the Super Shirt, ditch the chest and back armor it comes, keep the shoulder and elbow armor in and wear it with my hard chest and back protector and just call it a day. Seems to be the coolest temp combo while offering the most impact and abrasion resistance. I should say where I ride I not only have to do a lot of road to get to the trails but even then I am on and of pavement constantly so I don't want to have to stop every time ... and knowing my stupid self I won't, so better to have something I can just keep on. Plus it gives me options on longer adventure trips as well.
@@porkshank13 yeah, if you can get the SuperShirt to feel right it’s a great option. Worked fine for me at very hot temps, and super low profile. Always found the zipper/collar annoying, and for about half the owners it seems we find that the elbow pads really want to rotate off the joint. Not an issue with AS’s non abrasion resistent armor shirt oddly enough. I really like the Pando Moto Commando in the same category, but it’s cut too euro narrow across the shoulders to fit somebody who likes to work out, lol.
@@cblais19 It's funny that you say that. I literally just just sent back a XXL Pando Moto shirt that I could barely zip up over my chest even without pads in it and the arms were too short. Even considering our slimmer neighbors it was extremely small. It is also worth noting it doesn't have a dedicated chest armor pocket. I considered the Bowtex but same on the chest and read reviews that the armor was too small. I also looked at Knox and the new Rev'it Nucleon but decided to roll the dice on the Adventure Spec. It seems the lightest, has a pocket for a one piece chest protector and if I am wearing a hard chest protector (I have the A10 V2) I am hoping the side zipper might actually be more comfortable. Fingers crossed! Thanks for your review. I actually found my way here because I am considering the Territory jacket for over the Super Shirt when doing longer road stints. Hoping it will be a comfy, minimally hot (I am a wimp with heat) way to get great protection.
@@porkshank13 yeah, the Pando is cut for very small people sadly. It’s so close to perfect except for that. Territory will be a great ablative layer! Other option even lighter would be a Sierra or Klim Tactical - either gives you something that’ll live through some gravel offs without affecting the SuperShirt at all. The one crash report I’ve seen of the SS suggested that the lack of a slip liner can lead to friction burns from the stretch fabric pulling at the skin, but you can solve that with a long sleeve shirt or just not crashing 🤣
You know I keep meaning to do that and forget along the way. FWIW, the Large Component 2 is 2lbs even without the armor, I've weighed it to compare with the Stratum's shell and some other waterproofs.
Cool! Could you give your opinion on Component 2 compared to other armourless shells regarding bulk and most importantly breathability with vents closed? I could find no specs on Revit Hydratex membrane other than Ryan F9's old video where it breathed not so well. Compared to Stratum's outer shell, probably Mosko Basilisk or Klim Raptor, any ideas is it lighter/bulkier and how does the membrane breathe on its own? Thanks!
@@КонстантинВоронцов-х6сthe Stratum was something like 2lbs 10 or 12oz in a Large (shell only); I think Mosko lists the Basilisk as over 4lbs for a large. That layered super fabric is heavy I guess. Revit uses a number of different things under the same name of Hydratex. This one is a 3L that feels different then something like the cheap inner liners (that are I think 8k/5k rated?). Felt pretty similar to a standard Gore performance shell, not quite as nice to wear as Pro or better membranes. Great venting though.
