Nice jacket. I do think safety ratings need to incorporate the visibility of a jacket to other road users

I really like the rev it fit, and styling, compared to the American designed riding jacket/pants combos. And let’s face it, these riding suits get expensive very quickly. I don’t an unlimited budget to spend on a riding suit! So it’s great to see a quality set at a reasonable price.

Seems like the difference between this and the new Offtrack 2 is that the Offtrack's thermal layer is a nicer standalone jacket and the chest venting rolls down instead of popping up? I quite like the removable waterproof layer approach for jackets due to our variable weather even in summer, trousers I think well vented laminated makes sense as adding waterproofs over boots at the side of the road is a pain! On another note I tested the V-Strom 800 today - cracking bike! Hope you're enjoying it.

I've just been for a look at the Offtrack 2 and, yes, they look like the biggest changes. Seems a very impressive jacket and I'll be getting that reviewed as soon as I can. Ideal for the V-Strom, which I'm enjoying very much, thanks. What were your thoughts from your test ride? Did it persuade you to buy one? Cheers, Tony

This seems to be a different colour-way to the one on your website which has darker brown sections on the shoulders and arms?

It's the same colourscheme, but the difference in colour between the Ripstop on the shoulders/arms and the regular fabric on the rest of the jacket depends very much on the light. I think the pictures on the website (which are from Rev'it) exaggerate the difference and the footage in the video gives a more realistic view how the jacket looks. I hope that helps. Cheers, Tony

What's the difference between this one and the Sand?

The Sand is a more sophisticated version of this jacket, with tougher materials and extra mounting capability for items like a neck brace. I think of the Sand as being for more serious adventure riders while the Outback, for me, is better suited to road touring and light adventure rides. Both have a removable waterproof liner so the way they keep you dry is the same. I hope that helps. Cheers, Tony

Hi Tony, would you say the jacket has reasonably long arms and is true to size, it should I size up? Thanks

Apologies for the delay. I've just checked and the arm length is good. I sometimes have issues have sleeves being too short, but not with this jacket. I find it true to size as well, but take care to use the numbers rather than relying solely on the letters. Some brands say a medium is 42in chest, some say it's 40in. Rev'IT are 42in so if you're used to a brand that calls a 40in jacket a medium (Richa, Oxford, Furygan, Klim and Rukka for example) then you may want to drop down a size in comparison. I hope that helps. Cheers, Tony
