Rev’It Jerez Pro gloves, £249.99

ARMR Moto Tottori 2 jacket, £159.99

AGV Share comms system, £129.99

Colours: Black or grey

Sizes: S-5XL

ARMR Moto has revamped its

adventure touring jacket for 2014,

based on feedback on the original.

The basics remain the same with

a 600-denier outer shell including

ballistic fabric overlays in key

areas, CE-approved shoulder and

elbow armour, a CE back protector

and provision for an optional chest

protector. The changes are fixed

sleeves rather than the detachable

ones on the older version, colour-

coded zips for the waterproof

membrane and thermal liner, and two

additional waterproof pockets.

This AGV communications system is

designed to fit easily and discretely

into a range of the Italian firm’s

helmets, including the popular new

K3-SV model. The unit’s battery and

processor slot into the place of two

panels which are removed from the

inside of the chinbar and speakers go

into recesses in the polystyrene liner.

That only leaves a slimline control

panel on the outside of the shell to

let the rider adjust volume, switch

between phone, sat-nav, a built-in FM

radio or rider-to-pillion comms.

Dutch company Rev’It is taking a

serious stance with its new Jerez

Pro race gloves, which are based on

its existing Jerez gloves. They’re

made from a combination of

kangaroo leather, cowhide, and

mesh materials for airflow. And the

protection on the back of the hand sits

on a panel that flexes separately

from the rest of the glove,

boosting flexibility. There’s

also impact protection on

the cuff, which often takes a

hard whack in a spill, and the

stitching on the palm area is all

external so the seams don’t

disturb the comfort.

Avon released the Storm 3D X-M last

year as a long-lasting sports-touring

tyre and now it has added a range of

new fitments to suit adventure touring

machines and hypersports bikes. The

tyres boast sipes and a high silica

content for improved wet weather

performance, and Avon claims an

extra 15-20% mileage over the hard-

wearing Storm 3D tyres on which the

X-M is based. The X-M was originally

limited to 120/70 x 17 fronts and either

a 180/55 x 17 or 190/50 x 17 rears,

but now these additional sizes are

available: 110/70ZR17, 110/80ZR18,

110/80R19, 120/60ZR17, 150/70ZR17,

150/80ZR16, 160/60ZR17,

160/60ZR18, 160/70R17, 170/60ZR17,

190/55ZR17, 200/50ZR17.
