# Reax Motorcycle Gear Offers Subtle High-Tech Protection

When you think of really technical [motorcycle gear](<https://www.thedrive.com/motorcycles/16402/the-best-motorcycle-gear-of-2017-aether-rally-gear-gets-used-and-abused>) that offers top-quality protection, you probably think of something that looks like Iron Man’s armor. If you want the best possible protection on two-wheels, you usually need to buy expensive gear that looks ridiculous in any setting other than sitting on a motorcycle. A new brand called [Reax](<https://www.reaxmoto.com/>) is out to change that.

Casual-looking motorcycle gear is very much in fashion as exemplified by new offerings like the hipster-y [Dainese72](<https://www.thedrive.com/motorcycles/18900/dainese-misano-and-cyclone-d-air-jackets-now-available-in-north-america>) line. Reax is offering jackets, [pants](<https://www.thedrive.com/article/16584/the-best-motorcycle-gear-of-2017-pando-motos-karl-riding-jeans-look-great-and-protect>), and gloves that are premium and technical without looking too technical. Reax is a brand founded by the popular moto gear store and website *Revzilla* in partnership with its parent company, Comoto. Having sold and reviewed just about every single piece of motorcycle gear available over the past several years, these folks know a thing or two about gear.

*Riding jeans that look like normal jeans!, *Reax**

“The line is very technical, without overdoing it,” said a Reax representative in an email to *The Drive*. “The jackets, pants, and gloves all offer the protection you’d want, but with a more casual look that you could wear out on its own.”

Another nice perk of Reax is that the gear is pretty affordable. Normally really technical motorcycle gear comes at a premium price point, but with Reax, jackets start at $219, pants start at $199, and gloves start at $69. Not the cheapest gear you can buy, but potentially one of the best values.

Personally, I think this gear looks pretty good. I’m a big fan of the technical-without-looking-technical ethos and I think Reax is doing it pretty well. I want good protection and I also don't want to look like a Power Ranger when I get off of my bike and it looks like Reax could fulfill that duty well.
