Much better than expected
27 Aug 2025 by David B
I am a Rev’ it fan. However I nearly didn’t buy this smock as of the few reviews I found were negative especially regarding size.
Currently this is my go to jacket and I totally believe if you’re interested you won’t be disappointed.
Sizing is in my opinion spot on and unlike previous reviews I found sleeve length to be perfect.
Quality is top notch and it definitely cuts the wind out. I’ve use it with a Scott waterproof over jacket and found this to be as good as it gets.
I’m so pleased I ordered this jacket.
Style: Black

Description
Experience a new chapter in our Tech Fashion collection with the hooded Photon smock. Drawing inspiration from sportswear trends, we bring to life PPE for the young urban rider.
A large part of the appeal of a smock is its generous fit. The long torso and wide shoulders of the Photon allows for generous flexibility whether on the bike or heading to your local meet-up by foot. Additionally, its 3L softshell outer material combined with wind-blocking characteristics contributes to its overall comfort. And in terms of safety, we've included SEESMART shoulder and elbow protectors, as well as the option to outfit it with the available back protector.
To keep personal items close, the Photon has a convenient storage system. There is a large kangaroo pocket at the front and two large stash pockets along the side. Within the large front kangaroo pocket, we included a Back Protector Cinch System that allows you to pull the back protector close to your body while allowing the oversized nature of the Photon smock to stay intact. This feature can be effortlessly loosened when you want to take it off or need some extra room when off the bike.
