Ignore the touring claims and this smart jacket from Rev'it has a lot going for it...
I bought this as i was fed up with baking on trail rides. This is a great jacket for trail riding on hot days with cool air passing through the mesh. The level 1 armour in the shoulders and elbows is adequate for my needs but i wouldn't wear the jacket for long road trips without extra protection. I haven't marked it down for this as to be fair Rev'it do sell the Proteus armoured underjacket to go with this jacket, it's just that it looks too bulky and restrictive for my personal liking. I use separate chest and back protectors with it as it doesn't have any. I ordered the largest size so i could use extra armour and also with it billowing slightly you get extra air! Overall it feels good quality and has decent zips that look like they will last. It has very useful pockets. I couldn't stand the cuff loops over my thumbs so pushed them under the sleeves and the sleeves haven't ridden up without them. I pondered a while on whether to spend this much but i'm so glad i did as it's a lovely jacket and just what i wanted.
I left it late ordering this for an event but as always SBS dispatched quickly and it came in time.
Looks and feels a sturdy, quality product. Sizing is tight, I should have gone a size up.
I noticed that "Itchy Boots" was using this jacket for her travels up through the Americas, where the temperatures are pretty extreme!
I went and tried it on in the Boston shop, and with the high temperature we've been experiencing used it all the time. Its very well made and with the air flowing through it, keeps me pretty cool.
It has armour too, and added bonus.
All in all a great bit of kit.
