Rev'it Poseidon 3 Gore-Tex Trousers - Silver / Black

I bought the Rev it Poseidon 3 jacket and Trouser to replace my 15 yo Hein Gerrick Jacket and Held trousers that BTW are still waterproof and comfy but the velcro has gone an they are frayed and shabby with ingrained dirt. After looking round for a long time I went for Poseidon 3, it ticked the main boxes for me Laminated, Gore Tex and plenty of pockets, well not plenty but at least adequate. I bought the trousers just so I had a matching set. After a 9 day trip to the Grand Alps and Gorge du Verdon in Sep 2025 I think I've got a balanced view of it all. Well I had one day of 7 hours of rain with periods of heavy rain and one day with 2 torrential thunderstorms and I stayed perfectly dry inside my jacket and trousers, and the pockets stayed dry as well. When the temp was north of 27 degrees I didn't feel cooked. So they've done what I wanted them to do but I do have comments. The jacket was £700 but no back protector, really? The jacket has 2 inside pockets but only one inside pocket in the thermal liner why? The trouser pocket zips a are vertical and the pockets shallow and so I felt like I would lose the pocket contents if the zips were not pulled up all the time, The trousers are stiff and they are also manage to be clingy, which didn't change over the 9 days and 2500 miles. The cuffs cinch up with velcro, how long is the velcro going to last? The storm collar is like an after thought, cheap and very thin. I sit behind a large screen and so the jacket vents don't get the force feed that they need and my back protector stops air getting to my back anyway, also, while sitting the trouser vents are horizontal unable to take air in, so I can only see these vents being of any use to riders who do a lot of riding stood up. The biggest surprise for me was that the jacket and trousers are cold. With my HG jacket I wouldn't expect to fit the thermal liner above 5 degrees, maybe a light jumper, and my Held trousers never need the thermal liners. With the Poseidon jacket and trousers I felt really cold if the temp fell below 15 degrees, a light jumper didn't cover it and the storm collar may keep some wind and rain off but it has no thermal qualities at all. I am going to have to consider the weather more carefully and get used to fitting the thermal liners more often, speaking of which I cannot comment on how good they are as I didn't think I'd need them. This jacket can't hold a candle to my HG jacket, probably because its not designed with UK weather in mind, maybe somewhere milder. My HG jacket was £250 15 years ago so for Rev It to charge me £1200 for the pair is difficult to reconcile. I hope this helps.

Decided to try out these normally use Rukka but they started to give up and leak.
Not sure how good the Velcro will hold up around the shin part

Purchased just before going to the Alps. 3 solid days of torrential rain and gale force winds. Didn't let a drop of water in.
Temps have are up 28-30°c vents open and moving no problem. Once stationary can get hot, as expected.
Sizing seems to be pretty accurate

Absolutely top quality garment, these would keep you dry in a monsoon, only gripe 8 could add is the fact you have to purchase the braces separately, so come on rev it, start to include the braces top it all off
