Sizing Information
We measured and tried on a selection of these pants; they measure out pretty consistently with REV’IT!’s published pant size chart. Below is the the size chart you can use to choose the size that is best for you. Sizing information is provided by the manufacturer and does not guarantee fit.
These pants are available in regular, short and tall inseam sizes, and we found the inseam measurements to match the published figures so we’ve included those also. The pants have adjustability of the armor height (independent of inseam length). Velcro allows you to set the armor in different spots and you can check how the armor feels on your knee when you are sitting on the bike and decide which position seems best.
Also, the pants have a set of Velcro adjusters at the waist to help you fine tune the fit. We are showing a two inch range which was about what the adjusters seemed to do.
Pant Size | Waist Estimate | Inseam Reg | Inseam Short | Inseam Tall |

Large | 35-37 | 32 | 30 | 34 |
XL | 37.5-40 | 32 | 30 | 34 |
XXL | 40.5-43 | 33 | 31 | 35 |

Measurement tips: You’ll want to measure yourself fairly high up the waist because protective style pants like this are cut to ride higher on your waist than a lot of modern jean styles (so relying just upon the size jeans you buy might result in motorcycle pants that are too small). Right below the navel is about the right height on the waist for measurement.
Use as overpants: These pants will likely be used as both overpants over street clothes or as pants over underwear. Since the waist of these pants is relatively high (as discussed above) the waist will ride above the waist line of normal jeans and therefore, I don’t think you will want to up-size with the idea of using them as overpants. But, I would advise that if you are pushing the upper limit of a size or you are between sizes, to choose the larger.
Our Two Cents
To complement the Poseidon GTX jacket, REV’IT! has developed the equally versatile matching Poseidon GTX trousers featuring the innovative VCS | aquadefence with Fidlock® magnetic fastener system offers excellent on-demand ventilation and can be closed with one hand while riding due to the Fidlock® magnetic fastener. The Fidlock® magnetic fastener not only uses the attraction but also the repulsion of magnets. This leads to a robust closure with high locking strength that can nonetheless be easily opened with one hand while riding. (Not suitable for people with a pacemaker) These trousers represent a real first, as they’re the only GORE-TEX® 3-layer trousers on the planet to offer such significant direct airflow. With height adjustable protection pockets, a removable liner and both long and short connection zippers, these trousers pair perfectly with the Poseidon GTX jacket.
