Ignore the touring claims and this smart jacket from Rev'it has a lot going for it...
It’s a great looking jacket on and off the bike. Size wise it is a bit on the short side, I got the size large which only just goes past my waist and once I’m sat on the bike there is a bit of gap at the base of my back. I’m only 5’8” so probably not the best for taller riders.
I’ve used this jacket daily for work for the last 3 weeks, it’s been fine for 3-4 degree mornings with just a t-shirt underneath and once you get moving it’s been ok in 17+ degrees, that’s without removing the thermal liner which I could do, but for a daily jacket I don’t want to be constantly taking the liner in and out as it is a little bit of a faff with 2 snappers in each cuff, 1 at the neck and zips down each side.
Plenty of pockets outside and inside, not had a use for the pocket on the left forearm yet but I’m sure it may have a purpose for someone. The zips feel nice and robust with rubber seals and storm flaps, the strings to make the zips a bit easier to grab however don’t look all that hard wearing.
One bad point I have found is that if the hood is knocked or isn’t zipped all the way securely it has the possibility to unzip itself, the most I’ve had it unzip so far is a good 1/3 of the way, but I do think that on a long ride or if left unchecked for a long period there is a chance the hood could come fully off. A snapper over the top of the zip securing that side of the hood would easily solve the problem but alas it isn’t there. I’ve taken the hood off now as the jacket is just as functional and I can save the hood for rainy days that I might wear the jacket off the bike.
On the whole its a jacket that is very comfortable, looks great and that I really like wearing and will continue to do so.
