Adventure Riding Gear: A Collaboration with Pol Tarrés
When you’re commuting to work or enjoying a leisurely coffee run, wearing gear may seem like a formality. Helmet, jacket, gloves, and you're good to go. However, when you're navigating a 450-pound adventure bike up a mountain ledge with no room for error, gear becomes essential for survival.
This is the world that Pol Tarrés inhabits, and it's the space where REV'IT! has chosen to make its mark with its latest adventure riding collection.
Tarrés is not your average enduro rider. Known for pushing Yamaha’s Ténéré 700 to its limits, he is the daredevil you see conquering challenging terrains and taking on extreme races. If he trusts a piece of gear, it's because it can withstand the kind of abuse most of us can only imagine.
REV'IT! is a Dutch brand that has been in the game since the mid-90s, striking a balance between technical precision and understated cool. Their gear is designed for riders who value style as much as real-world performance.
The collaboration with Tarrés feels like a natural progression of REV'IT!'s DNA. The standout piece is the Sweater Trazada, which combines casual styling with CE-level 2 protection. Priced at $289.99, it offers both style and safety on and off the bike.
For those looking for serious adventure gear, the Morocco and Africa jackets at $319.99 and $389.99, respectively, provide ventilation, abrasion resistance, and a comfortable fit for off-road riding. The Vision H2 jacket, priced at $499.99, is a top-of-the-line option for extreme conditions, offering waterproof, breathable, and durable protection.
Completing the set are the Tacto and Escondido gloves, priced at $52.99 and $74.99, respectively. With options for lightweight or more durable gloves, riders can choose based on their preferences.
This collaboration isn't just about branding; it's about gear that has been tested and approved by a professional like Tarrés. If it can withstand his extreme riding, it can handle anything you throw at it on your own adventures.
