PROTECTION FEATURES:
PROTECTION
-
Fully perforated EVA foam at back - EVA is one of the materials
popularly known as 'expanded rubber' or 'foam rubber'. EVA is used as
a shock absorber in many REV'IT! products.
-
SuperFabric panel at elbows - SuperFabric technology is an
advanced process that transforms ordinary fabrics into unique, highly
protective materials. Multiple protective shields are applied close to
each other within the fabric, but remain separate to allow maximum
flexibility. These micro guard-plates provide an additional layer of
protection, without adding weight, and help prevent abrasion to
underlying fabrics. SuperFabric is five times more abrasion-resistant
than leather, with just half the weight.
-
Prepared for SaS Tec CE back protector
-
SaS Tec CE protection at shoulders and elbows - SaS Tec armour
offers the best possible protection during a dynamic impact. The
armour is made of a new polyurethane foam material, without a hard
shell or edges, which surpasses the required CE-values by 50%. The
closed air cells function by means of progressive absorption: with a
slowly occurring stressor, the material remains soft and flexible,
whereas sudden impact will cause the protector's air cells to respond
quickly with increased resilience, creating a protective shield where
the rider needs it most.
-
Prepared for Seesoft CE-level 2 back protector insert - Type ST
- The back protector pocket in this REV'IT! garment is tailor-made to
accommodate the Seesoft CE-level 2 back protector insert Type ST - an
easy upgrade to maximize safety.
INSULATION
-
Detachable Exkin Air thermal liner - The Exkin Air insulation
layer is an extremely lightweight, soft and warm, multi-layer
structure that adds very little thickness to a jacket, pair of pants,
or winter gloves. The optimum choice to keep your body warm, this
padding is thin and perfectly soft, but still extremely warm. The CLO
index (warmth insulation index) of Exkin Air is among the highest on
the market. With maximum insulation performance and virtually zero
bulk, this is one of the top insulation materials available.
OUTER SHELL
-
Cordura 500D ribstop with Teflon coating - Durability and great
abrasion-resistance are the defining characteristics of Cordura, thanks to its special ribstop weaving. Thick reinforcement
threads are interwoven at regular intervals into the fabric, in a
crosshatch pattern known as ribstop. This makes Cordura three times
more tear-and abrasion-resistant than standard nylon. Its 201 degrees
melting point allows it to withstand high temperatures. Clothing
constructed from Cordura provides years of protection and comfort,
while the water- and dirt-repellant Teflon coating makes it difficult
for dirt to affix to or penetrate any material. This helps to keep
your gear clean.
-
Cordura 1000D ribstop with Teflon coating - 1000D provides the
greatest tear-resistance. Its 210 degrees melting point allows it to
withstand high temperatures. Clothing constructed from Cordura
provides years of protection and comfort, while the water- and
dirt-repellant Teflon coating makes it difficult for dirt to affix to
or penetrate any material. This helps to keep your gear clean.
-
Neoprene -Neoprene is a synthetic rubber useful for protective
gear. It is abrasion-resistant, chemical-resistant, waterproof,
somewhat stretchable, and buoyant.
-
PWR Shell 750D with Teflon coating- This material is REV'IT!'s
take on Cordura. Consisting of 100% high-performance Polyamide yarns,
PWR Shell takes the best properties of Cordura - high melting point,
tremendous tear- and abrasion-resistance, and excellent durability -
and puts the unique REV'IT! design stamp on it. PWR Shell provides
high-performance protection for every rider. The water- and
dirt-repellant Teflon coating makes it difficult for dirt to affix to
or penetrate any material. This helps to keep your gear clean.
-
SuperFabric - SuperFabric technology is an advanced process
that transforms ordinary fabrics into unique, highly protective
materials. Multiple protective shields are applied close to each other
within the fabric, but remain separate to allow maximum flexibility.
These micro guard-plates provide an additional layer of protection,
without adding weight, and help prevent abrasion to underlying
fabrics. SuperFabric is five times more abrasion-resistant than
leather, with just half the weight.
VISIBILITY
-
Laminated reflection at chest and back - Reflection panels
ensure excellent visibility at all angles, allowing the wearer to be
seen from all directions. To offer a more sophisticated look, the
reflection panels are welded to the fabric. This welding process also
eliminates stitching seams, making the garments safer.
WATERPROOFING & BREATHABILITY
-
Detachable GORE-TEX - GORE-TEX Performance Shells are designed
to provide breathable comfort and durably waterproof and windproof
protection for the touring biker. In the LTD (Liner-to-Drop)
construction, the membrane can be easily removed from the jacket or
trousers. The inner side of the 3-Layer Liner construction uses a knit
textile that offers superior comfort, aesthetics, and durability
against abrasion. This layer is bonded to a specific GORE-TEX membrane
and a third outer-shell layer. This 3-Layer Liner construction is
suspended under the outer shell material of the garment, with no
further internal lining required. The result is a detachable lining
construction with reduced weight and bulk. It offers touring riders an
attractive garment design for any weather condition: wear the membrane
inside the garment when cold weather demands it, or carry it in the
storage pocket when you need maximum ventilation.
ERGONOMIC FEATURES:
FIT
ADJUSTABILITY
-
Drawcord at hips
-
Adjustment tabs at under arms
-
Adjustment straps at waist and upper arms
-
UTA tab at cuffs - Ultra thin adjustment tab at cuff or leg.
Thanks to laminating technology, the material of this UTA tab is extra
thin. This allows you to comfortably wear the sleeve of your jacket
under the cuff of a glove, as many riders prefer to do. This
technology can be found in most garments in the collection, and also
as cuff tabs on the legs of textile trousers.
VENTILATION
-
VCS panels at the chest
-
VCS zippers at back, chest and under arms - The VCS zippers are
all located in strategic positions, where they offer excellent air
flow to cool the body. The air flow can be regulated by opening or
closing the zipper.
FEATURES
-
Collar hook - The collar hook and loop allow you to draw back
the front side of the collar, allowing air flow to cool the neck
during warmer periods of the year without the annoying and distracting
flapping of a loose collar.
-
Long and double short connection zipper - This jacket has a
long connection zipper and double short connection zipper. Not only
can it be paired with any pair of pants in the REV'IT! line, but its
second, short connection zipper on the membrane ensures that the
membrane stays in place.
-
Coolmax mesh lining - This mesh lining is made from Coolmax, a
high-tech fabric specifically engineered to keep users dry and
comfortable. Coolmax mesh is made from polyester fibers with an
increased surface area. These special multi-channel fibers form a
transport system that moves perspiration away from the skin to the
outer layer of the fabric, where it can evaporate quickly, allowing
the wearer to feel cooler and more comfortable.
POCKETS
-
Slit pockets
-
Inner pockets
-
Waterproof stash pockets
-
Membrane storage pocket - This pocket gives you the opportunity
to store the membrane in a safe way and keeps the membrane within
reach to allow you to attach it as soon as you need it.
