Well finished jacket / good fit

The jacket feels well made with the an air of quality, difficult tell how well it flows air, it’s early March in the U.K. Jacket (and strides) have been purchased for a summer tour around Europe, so I’m expecting some good results.
Optional back armour purchased (quite bulky and tricky to fit) and it might prevent some through flow of air, but that’s the compromise. The chest armour was also purchased, less intrusive and if it prevents cracked or broken ribs that’s a win, but, I have to question its location it seems to low, and again there’s going to be compromise on air flow.
The good news is you can always take the armour out when it’s really hot but that’s down to personal choice.
Overall I’d give the jacket a firm 8 of 10, it’s a relatively simple design and like my other Rev It jackets the fit was spot on for me XL, sleeve length etc.

This is a quality made jacket with plenty of large mesh panels. The Anthracite colour is perfect for me as it shouldn't show up every speck of dirt and won't absorb the heat of the sun as much as black would. I'm looking forward to using it in Spain in May and during our summer.

A lightweight no nonsense jacket that looks premium and seems well made. Not completely mesh, but does allow for decent airflow. Light and comfortable, quick drying. True to size.

Bought this for a trip to France with temperature of 39/40c. Jacket allows plenty of air to keep you as cool as possible in those temperatures. Good fit and felt secure at all times. Only niggle is that the cuff strap is a bit short if you want the cuff open. I also bought the pants and they were excellent as well.

Disappointed with Rev it

I'm a massive fan of Rev It and own a lot of their gear, including the Airwave 2 which was a much better quality and safer jacket than this one.

The main reason for the low rating is that they have decided not to use velcro at the waist instead using a simple elasticated string and toggle system. At the tightest settings I can easily pull the jacket way over my chest - even when the jacket is connected to the trousers using the short connection zip!
I have absolutely no confidence this jacket will cover my body during a slide - so being AA rated is irrelevant.

I'm 6'2 average built and the fit is strange for me. The size large is way too tight on the shoulders that I couldn't move freely, so went for the XL which fits perfectly at the shoulders, however, the rest of the jacket is very loose and there's no useful adjustment.
The tops of my arms flap around at motorway speeds, which irritates the skin on my upper arms, and have caused fatigue on long riders, and the bagginess affects the placement of the back protector as I can easily move it from side to side.
All of the above comments would have so easily been avoided if only they had fitted adjustment in the right places.

The flap at the collar is also bulky and very uncomfortable at my neck, so I have to tuck it away at all times.

The good points are that it's a good quality jacket that flows a lot of air, nice big pockets and I really love the design and colours available.

I'm afraid I can't recommend this jacket based on safety grounds, and I'm disappointed that Rev It decided to cut costs by not providing vital adjustments. Hopefully they will reinstate this on the airwave 5.

Great product, high quality & accurate sizing. Planning a trip to Europe soon where temperatures are predicted to be HOT so needed a summer mesh jacket. A good fit but it felt very flimsy initially compared to my normal jacket. Problem sorted once I added the back and chest protector. Obviously makes it more expensive but worthwhile for peace of mind.
