Advice & Guides Laminated waterproofing is taking over the world. Our video runs through our top options
Customers found this jacket very comfortable, well built and highly protective, with excellent fit, useful pockets and strong weather resistance. Many praised its waterproof performance, warmth in colder conditions and practical details like sleeve card storage and easy glove compatibility. Some noted the collar can feel snug, the arm vents are limited, and the cuffs or fasteners may be fiddly. Overall, customers felt it offers great quality, versatility and value for money.
My previous jackets were all “trial master” style wax cotton jobs, which required annual re-waxing. By comparison to that type of jacket this 2 layer GoreTex is incredibly lightweight, and reliably, almost magically waterproof. Having a surface that doesn’t wet out means I can shake the jacket dry at the end of a work commute, and hang it over the back of the office chair without getting a wet shirt.
These are, due to the materials used, less insulated than waxed cotton I’m accustomed to, so I will be wearing a thermal base layer as we get into the colder months.
In terms of the fit and quality I’m happy with the innovative venting, the zips and fasteners all seem robust so far. I chose the Vertical model over the Trench version as it has the rear exhaust vents, and I can confirm that with both front and rear vents open it does flow air nicely to your “pits”.
SBS were running a reduced price, which allowed me to get this first ever laminate jacket, and while it was initially a head over heart purchase, to enable dry commuting, all the other design touches and well thought out features mean it’s become the 1st jacket I grab.
Up there with my Rukka jackets but more flexible fabric and easier to wear in warmer weather. Neck closure is smaller than a previous RevIt jacket but it should settle with a bit more wearing. Still prefer a Velcro closure at neck rather than a ratchet. Armour all good and a pop in liner is much easier to take out than a zip in garment. Shame liner can’t be worn on its own!
Comfortable and functional touring jacket. Has proven waterproof in moderate rain. Haven't had to test it in a deluge, yet. Careful about sizing as I had to go up a size from what I normally wear. That seems to be the case with some Revit lines.
Well thought out, good functional zips & pockets. Easy to close, nice adjustable vents. Comfortable and nice looking jacket. Only light rain but being gortex I don’t expect that to be a problem. Quite light weight but feels quality
Nice fit, comfortable and waterproof. I bought this to use over the August bank holiday weekend as heavy rain was predicted. I kept totally dry. Very happy.
Discounted in this colourway but it was my favourite for visibility and matching the rest of my kit. Feels tough but nice to wear and has proper pockets for all the armour you need
Jacket lightweight yet windproof not been out in wet weather yet. Looks great.
An absolutely brilliant jacket that has never let me down. Plenty of pockets, good venting and absolutely bone dry on the wettest rips. I was so impressed I bought the matching trousers.
Lovely jacket. After getting quite wet and very cold in the alps in a drop liner suit in 24 and 25! I decided Goretex is the way to go. I Love the venting and superb build quality. Good length in the back and plenty of pockets. Only quibble is the zip starts on the left to connect to the pants. Being right handed is a fiddle. I am sure I will adapt of find a way to zip together before putting jacket on. Like I say. Minor quibble.
Very regular use in all weather for 2 years. Excellent quality; fits well and, most importantly, easy on/off with good fasteners and cuffs. I use without the thermal liner, but with a down jacket instead underneath in winter. Properly waterproof and zips well to the matching trousers. Having used Rukka, Held and Aerostich over many years this is at least as good in the areas that matter.
I waited 8 months and 7,000 miles before rating this jacket, so I can say having worn it in all weathers (-3C to +37C), storm Amy 70mph winds and torrential rain, that is is quite comfortable and totally waterproof. Good full size pockets. The only issue I have is the collar is quite small, even on the widest setting when wearing a fleece its very tricky to fasten.
This was the only goretex laminate jacket that fitted me at a reasonable price that had the features I was looking for: flexible laminate covering, external waterproof pockets, chest protector capacity, straps to secure elbow armour, and good cuff management. Its not perfect. I would have preferred a different ventilation system and gained a chest pocket, but I haven’t used it in hot weather so may be thankful it it works as a three season jacket. I tried on a lot of jackets before choosing this one, including some double the price, and this is the beat them all. Very satisfied.
Well designed, nice fit with adjustable straps where you need them. Hasn’t been out in a downpour yet but have had no issues with normal rains.
Fits really well. Comes with elbow & shoulder armor. Chest vents are easy to use & rear shoulder vents help with airflow. It has a removable insulation layer for colder months. As a brand new learner I'm really happy with this jacket and I bought back & chest protectors separately.
Well designed with the exception of the neck collar (that allows only thin necks on maximum settings)
Not best for hot weather or very cold rides.
I kept my same XXL size and find it quite comfortable and pleasant to wear. Despite it's atrociously narrow collar, it's a keeper.
It is a very well built jacket lots of ventilation pockets.
Purchased as a replacement jacket after an accident. Held together very well in the crash, so bought another. Been in biblical rainstorms and was bone dry inside. So comfy I forget I'm wearing bike gear
