REV'IT! Victoria SF Jeans for Women (SOLD OUT)

We measured a sampling of these jeans of different waist sizes and lengths and find they are much like other jeans you’d buy these days. They are just a bit “vanity” sized in the waist and pretty true in the length. Across the size run, the actual measured waist was about 1” larger than the stated waist size (typical vanity sizing). So my primary advice would be to buy the waist size you normally wear in jeans; you’ll likely find a fit.

The inseam lengths measured out about right as compared to the stated size. These are slim fit jean and a standard feature here is that REVIT adds a strip of reflective piping on the inside seam of the jeans with the idea that you’ll roll up the ends and the reflective strip will show. The standard inseam is pretty long for a ladies jean, so if you roll them up, they work for most people.

REVIT Victoria SF Jeans for Women are new for 2020. These are a good looking trim-fit jean with very stretchy denim material that allows them to be comfortable in a riding position. Armor is included for the knees and hips, so there is nothing else to buy.

I just finished a description of the men’s REVIT Detroit TF jeans that are also new for 2020 along side these Victoria jeans. The construction features of the men’s and women’s versions are identical, so I’m going to borrow some of that review to tell you about these jeans:

Most riding jeans, fall into two general camps; the first being jeans made of a denim that is woven with Cordura/Kevlar material in the material itself. This type of jean is most like regular jeans and can provide abrasion protection without extra layer. The second camp are jeans that are made of regular denim but with panels of Kevlar fabric installed inside the jean in key areas… usually the knees and hips. This reinforced setup is generally less expensive, but perhaps just a bit more bulky..

What I see new here is that the Victoria SF jeans have BOTH the Cordura denim AND reinforcements in the hips and knees with an additional layer of REVIT’s PWR shield material (their house brand of abrasion resistant material). And I don’t think these jeans are bulky at all. The reinforcements in the seat and knees aren’t overly thick or stiff.

The fabric used in these jeans is pretty stretchy, so even though the fit is slim, they feel very nice… even in a riding position. These jeans include armor in the knees and hips already. It is a VERY flexible type armor and will fit your knee well without alignment being an issue. I really like REVIT’s armor for jeans. The thickness and flex is ideal for jeans.

The ends of the legs are tapered like a slim fit jean. They work tucked into a boot or they’ll work with lace ups or riding shoes, but with the trim size at the end of the leg, they might not go over a bulky boot top. Just to give you an idea, the size 30 waist jean measures 6” across when laid flat. You can compare that figure to measurements from some jeans you have to judge how well they’d work over your boots. When in doubt on inseam selection, I’d advise you choose the longer. REVIT puts strips of reflective material inside the leg end, so when you roll them up, you’ll have night reflectivity. Just a side note: MANY manufacturers have followed suit with this idea of the legs being rolled up and putting the reflectives inside the leg. I think it would be better to have the reflective part on the outside and part on the inside so you’d have the safety advantage either way, but maybe I’m missing some fashion imperative somewhere. But anyway, that’s the way it works.

I think you’ll like these new women’s jeans that basically have all the features you’d want in a riding jean. :: Paul, 02-14-20

REVIT says: The slim fit (SF), high-waisted Victoria Ladies SF jeans offer the fit and feel of everyday denim. Stretch Cordura® denim combined with our in-house developed PWR|shield – a highly abrasion-resistant knit – gives you all the comfort of your everyday stretch jeans, and the added benefit of peace of mind in case a ride ends in a less fortunate manner. Adding to the protective aspect, we’ve incorporated our CE-rated SEESMART™ protectors at the hips and knees, which remain unnoticed when riding thanks to their ultra-thin construction, yet make a world of difference in case of a crash. The Victoria Ladies SF jeans are available in black, dark blue, and light blue.
