Hey there, I'd say an XL at MINIMUM, think about layering up and if you wear it when it cools down then maybe an XXL might be a better option. So, for wearing just a Tshirt underneath an XL might work depending on your build. If you're fairly thin to average build then the only issue might be sleeve length since you're taller than I am. I hope this helps you.

@@tigerrider007 Thanks for the thoughtful response.

Wow! That does not sound like that is even possible. Did you contact the place you bought the set from and let them know what happened?

Returned it but no more in stock. I wanted a set but doesn't seem likely now

@@adriangeary9628 this stinks. Sorry this happened. This sounds like a rare issue, I've never heard of that happening to anyone.

The plastic d ring the waist adjustment strap went through pulled out like it wasn't stitched in

@MrHartlas this little case is actually a Pelican case that I got from one of my friends. I think it was used for photography equipment but he converted it to a top box because of its perfect size and waterproof ability. He basically matched up the holes with what the bike has as stock, drilled holes in the case to match, then added his own 1 inch high metal tubes as risers, so screws will fit through and into the bike's threads. These metal risers give the box the support needed. There are washers involved as well to spread out any weight issues on the inside of the box. I usually carry the Triumph tool kit, tire pressure gauge, a multitool, a few zip ties, and my tiny charging cord bag for my Cardo on a daily basis. This little box has held up to some off roading as well with light cargo. I've even forgotten to attach the latches on 2 rides off road rides and all my crap came out leaving a hundred yard trail of maps, baseball hat, tools, and snacks. In summation, you can make one if you find the right size box and hardware. Hope this helps, ride safe on that Tiger.

I still have them, and they share duty time with a pair of Klim Dakar Pro gloves. I find the Sedici gloves to be super comfortable and will keep them. I haven't had any issues with build quality so far. They just fit my hands and work great for me. Hope this helps.

Good to know. Will have to swing by Cycle Gear and try a pair of them on. Thanks!

Well, they didn't make it very long. I sold them after a couple weeks. The fit and finish was not where I'd like it, didn't feel like a quality product, almost like an outlet item if that makes sense. Some gloves just mold to your hands and these did not. My hands told me get these out of here.

What gloves are you currently using after getting rid of the revit mangrove gloves?

@@ninadaghanashini for summer and warmer weather I use a pair of Klim Dakar Pro gloves for commuting and shorter times on the bike. For my day trips out to the mountains I use a pair of Sedici Marco 2 gloves which I did a video on, I think. Hope this helps. The Sedici are super comfortable and have surprised me in a good way.

I've got to find a new pair of goggles to answer the fit question, stay tuned.

Agreed, the Tenere is a great bike and a little different from a Tiger 1200. That new Tiger 1200 motor pulls from everywhere in the RPM range which will feel different from that Tenere. Good luck with the GT!

I'd encourage anyone shopping for an ADV bike nowadays to consider its purpose; a test ride is a must. How does the rider intend to use this ADV bike?

To be honest, I can't remember for sure. I want to say that there is some adjustability for the knee armor but don't remember me needing to adjust them. I'm sorry this doesn't help you. I hope it works out for you though.

All good, thanks for replying @@tigerrider007

I'm glad it helped. Thank you for your comment. After a few hours of riding the bike, I thought I got somewhat comfortable with the interface. I liked all the adjustibility inside the modes. You can really change your ride experience with them. This is a pretty awesome bike. I hope to get a Rally Explorer when the time is right for me. Until then, I'll keep enjoying my Tiger 800.

Hi Steve, I've been looking at this and the AS Bogota as well. How does the Bogota perform for you? Cheers Joe

Thank you, appreciate the compliments, so does my offspring.

XL in both jacket and pants, if you watch the first 5 seconds I go over the size.

@@tigerrider007 I'm 6:3 and a little broad in the shoulders so I just wanted to see what kinda of sizes they are because like you said it's stupid money to send them back for an exchange !

@@nateryan7041 depending on how much room you'd like to layer during colder rides. I get cold easy so I leave a little room for a couple layers. So, based on your size I'd think about ordering one size larger as a precaution. I'd rather have a tad loose than a tad tight. It is a bit of a gamble all around but you try to minimize the risk with RST and ordering from overseas. This particular suit was extremely stiff and sturdy, more so than Klim. It takes a long while to break that material in to the super comfortable level. If you get the correct fit, and are happy with the price, and the safety features of this kit then it's a winner, just be ready to deal with the other side of that coin, stiffness and comfort. Since returns are really out of the question, there's always eBay or ADV rider. Hope this helps.

Is that good or bad?? :)

Never really noticed since I don't ride with it much as I have my other two helmets for more evening time rides, a Shoei and an Arai. I'll try it and see what happens.

@@tigerrider007 I'm curious the outcome, let me know what you think

I think it's a nice helmet for the money. I don't think using a comm system is realistic though. It's just a tad on the loud side. It's comfortable, has a nice eyeport area, and I think the weight is reasonable for the features it has.

@@tigerrider007 weight was what led me to it. I’ve not seen anything lighter excepting maybe the Klim.

Not really, I think that it's just a noisy helmet due to its purpose, a motocross lid. Hope this helps.

No, I will usually wear my Shoei Neotec when it gets cooler. The LS2 is kind of my off road lid now. It's very comfortable just really loud and let's in a good bit of air. I hope this helps. Ride safe.

I can't comment about wet roads since we didn't have any to ride on, but dry roads we had. The bike performed well with the Karoo Street tires even in some twisties. I did notice a pretty loud howl tire noise as certain speeds due to the scoops on this tire. I also took the Tiger down some gravel roads and it did fine. I think as an owner you have to get used to how the bike behaves in certain conditions, tires affect this behavior as well. I can say, that those Karoo Street tires may not like tar snakes since I had two little unexpected shifts on the road. I've never really been a huge fan of Karoos. I'd probably put a set of Michelin Anakee Adventure tires on this 1200. Sorry I couldn't answer the wet roads question.

@@tigerrider007 ok i will try them in the rain and if they don't give me good sensations i will immediately replace them with tkc 70 rocks or scorpion rally str. thanks anyway for the info. Greetings from Italy. ✌

Yes, I did mount a Cardo Packtalk Bold unit, and it took some time getting it positioned. It fit, but, what made me take it back out was the fact that I couldn't hear my friends talking at speeds over 40mph. This helmet has so much ventilation that it creates problems hearing the comm unit. It's a comfortable helmet just not as quiet as I'd hoped.

Yes, prescription glasses.

Matthew, the brands you mention are top notch when it comes to stability and construction, after owning both. I crashed in a set of RST Adventure gear and walked away with some bruising. Value wise I'd give the nod to RST but only slightly. I think it comes down to budget and fit for the decision. I found that the Rev'it products fit me better than the RST gear. I'm taller and leaner so some say that's considered "European built", but whatever. I also found the RST gear a bit stiffer and requires more break-in time to get it to the level of Rev'it right off the rack. So, I currently own some Rev'it Sand 4 gear and will keep this until I retire from riding. I hope this helps.

@@tigerrider007 Thanks for the prompt reply. I've had RST in the past as mentioned historically held up well, Your feedback is very helpful as I've never ran Revit' gear, and for me free movement (mobility) is as much a safety feature as protection. I will check out my local shop and check the fit on the Revit stuff before I place an order. I recently have been riding with KLIM gear, and while feature filled it never stops being "crunchy" and stiff for lack of a better term. 2 years and its just not any better., I'm done with it, its great stuff but I tired of feeling like I'm wearing the packaging of a plastic toy.

I don't remember honestly, I'll look in the box.

Hey Phil, that little box is actually a Pelican case used for pistols. My friend gave it to me because he sold his Tiger. He had already drilled holes for the screws that go into the stock set up. It's about the perfect size and it has foam pads in there. These cases are awesome for adv folks, the only challenge is figuring out how to mount it to your specific bike. I believe there is also a knock off brand similar to Pelican cases. hope this helps you.

@@tigerrider007 thanks so much for letting me know. Will see if I can source one as it is the perfect size and it looks great.... 👍🏼

Sure, for about $15000, must be the exchange rate. :)😅

@@tigerrider007 Sir i am student it is very difficult to get such bike in india

@@tigerrider007 If you have it in your power then just buy the bike and get some discount from the company.$4000can you get me a discount

Thank you, hope all is well there.

ggcortinaa, I did manage to get my Cardo Packtalk Bold installed and it works. The installation process was not as easy as my Shoei Neotec but with patience I got it in. You do have some small hurdles, one, the cheek pads are easy to pull out but not as easy to put back in when you have the speakers in the cutouts, two, I chose a boom mic due to the internal sun visor slide mechanism and its audio quality. I had to mount the base ahead of the slider, then positioned the boom mic accordingly inside the helmet and taped it with electrical tape. I'm no mechanic so if I can do it, anyone can. I went for a ride after install and listened to my music on my apple phone, so the next test is actually talking to one of my riding buddies. Here's the issue, I'm not familiar with a Cardo Slim. I assume you could probably install it if I can do a Packtalk Bold. The jacket I'm wearing is my summer choice here in Georgia, a hi-viz Klim Induction jacket. I hope this helps.

@@tigerrider007 thank you very much, hopefully I can install it too. My doubt was precisely because of the slider visor mechanism, good to know you can simply install it next to it. Have a great day and a safe ride!

What's the wind noise like?

@@AZ762SHOOTER after spending some time with the Cardo unit and trying to talk to my group, it's actually kind of awful. I can't hear any words my buddies are saying above 40mph. So, if you plan on running comms you may want to invest in a higher price lid, shoei or arai, due to their quiet natures. I will use this Blaze helmet for my dirt bike. Hope this helps.

Right, I knew the audio quality was not where it needed to be, that was just a super low budget production, me and a gopro session 5. Along with filming at a dealership, there is action in the background which I tried to get rid of some of the noise on the software side of things. One day, I might go next level and get a mic for the camera. I appreciate your comments.

Why of course! Don't forget to like it, for Dan. He's a genuine Triumph guy, let's show him some love. Feel free to share with your riding buddies. Thank you sir.
