The Trading Post #5: A carbon lid, touring jacket, dirt pants, women's street jacket and ADV gloves

Welcome to the Trading Post

This is the weekly dispatch from Yardstick Outfitters. Every week we post a handful of real gear deals for every riding style, a fit tip from our sourced fit guides, and news about the service.

Yardstick saves your measurements once, translates them into each brand's own size chart (Euro cuts and brand quirks included), and watches retailers for a great price in your size. Joining is free. When we launch, we'll alert you to a deal, and you always check out on the retailer's own site yourself.

This week's deals

Last week started with women's jackets. This week we're back across the whole garage: a carbon full-face helmet, a touring jacket, dirt pants, a women's street jacket and waterproof adventure gloves.

Price as of Nov 11, 2026, as shown on the retailer's product page. Prices, sizes and colors change fast; check the page before you buy. Listed price is the retailer's own comparison price as shown on their page when we checked; we haven't verified past selling prices. Some prices apply to select sizes or colors only.

LS2 Thunder Carbon Lightning Helmet, RevZilla

$349.97 (retailer's listed price $729.98, 52% below the retailer's listed price). Sport and street. A carbon full-face with a full run of sizes, XS to 2XL, in stock when we checked. See helmet sizing by head shape.

Alpinestars Halo Drystar Jacket, RevZilla

$349.97 (retailer's listed price $574.95, 39% below the retailer's listed price). Touring. Men's sizes MD to 3XL were in stock when we checked, though several size and color combos showed only 1 to 3 left. Alpinestars jackets use Euro-style sizing on many charts, so see does Alpinestars run small?

Fasthouse Sanguaro Pants, RevZilla

$75.00 (retailer's listed price $150.00, 50% below the retailer's listed price). Dirt. Limited sizes when we checked (waists 28, 30, 38 and 40 only). See dirt bike gear sizing.

Speed and Strength Fast Times 2.0 Women's Jacket, RevZilla

$74.95 (retailer's listed price $149.95, 50% below the retailer's listed price). Street. A women's jacket with sizes XS to 2XL in stock when we checked; one size and color combo showed only 1 to 3 left. Speed and Strength isn't in our women's jacket guide, so use the size chart on the product page.

Merlin Mahala D3O Explorer WP Gloves, RevZilla

$89.97 (retailer's listed price $149.95, 40% below the retailer's listed price). Adventure. Waterproof gloves in sizes SM to 3XL; many size and color combos showed only 1 to 3 left when we checked. Merlin isn't in our glove guide, so use the product page's chart and see the glove sizing guide for how to measure.

Fit tip: don't carry a glove letter from one brand to another

Measure around your palm, behind the knuckles, without the thumb. Alpinestars says to measure both hands and use the larger one; REV'IT! says to measure your dominant hand. On the official charts, the same hand can be a Small at one brand and a Medium at another: a 21.5 cm hand is an Alpinestars Medium (20.3 to 21.6 cm) and a REV'IT! Medium (20.7 to 22.0 cm), but a Klim Small (21 to 22 cm). Look your measurement up on each brand's own chart. Everything is in the glove sizing guide.
