Rev'it Pol Tarrés Africa Jacket - Black / Red
Fully ventilated AA jacket with ripstop fabric, ample pockets and dedicated goggle wipe
Details
Description
The adventures Pol Tarrés gets into tend to be extreme in terms of altitude, the cold, and certainly in the heat of the desert- racing the Africa Eco Race at the knife edge. Using Pol's vast experience in going full-tilt as input, Rev'it have designed the fully ventilated Africa jacket: puristic, straight forward and ready to tackle the hottest of adventures.
Refined yet rugged ballistic mesh meets crucial zones with laser-cut ventilation. Based on comments from Pol, up to 70% of the jacket is made to breathe in fresh air. All to allow for a rally-ready, breathable construction as well as having a super stretchy soft shell and hard wearing ripstop fabric where it needs to be. A carefully assembled mix of materials assures you're kept cool when adventure heats up, allowing you to maintain focus and keep it pinned for longer.
In terms of style you're looking at bright red, purposeful looking ripstop and a clear, dark camo print incorporated into the mesh panelling. Meanwhile the jacket is decked out in only the necessary pockets, with a pair above the hips and a chest pocket (with goggle wipe) up front and one at the lower back. Plus, a practical inner jacket pocket to keep your essentials securely on board.
