The Top Models from REV'IT
To make it easy for you, we have compiled a top-6 list from the premium brand REV'IT.
1. REV'IT Dominator GTX
This indestructible motorcycle jacket from REV'IT is perfect for the adventure rider who finds themselves in the most extreme weather conditions – however, you’ll need to provide your own mid-layer as this jacket doesn't have thermal lining. Not a single drop of rain will get through this motorcycle jacket thanks to the laminated 3L GORE-TEX® Pro membrane, and there are plenty of pockets and ventilation options.
2. REV'IT Poseidon GTX
The Poseidon GTX is a touring jacket through and through! This jacket offers you great convenience thanks to the laminated waterproof GORE-TEX® pro membrane and the removable thermal lining. You definitely won't get cold, and getting wet is out of the question. Unique to this jacket is the detachable storm collar, which protects you even in the coldest weather.
3. REV'IT Ridge GTX
This futuristic jacket is a limited edition touring jacket with a very stylish appearance. The beautiful silver-gray color of the jacket is noteworthy, but it's really about the technology of this robust motorcycle jacket. This jacket also has a laminated outer layer and detachable storm collar, keeping you completely dry.
4. REV'IT Defender GTX
This jacket is actually the little brother of the Dominator GTX, just like its sibling, this robust jacket lacks thermal lining — so if you are heading into cold conditions, ensure you have a good mid-layer. This jacket excels in its extensive ventilation opportunities and adjustability.
5. REV'IT Neptune 2 GTX
The Neptune 2 GTX is the only 3-layer jacket in this lineup. Unique to this GORE-TEX® motorcycle jacket is that you can remove the waterproof lining from the jacket and even use it as a separate rain jacket (destination liner). Thanks to the versatility of this rugged motorcycle jacket, it is one of the best adventure jackets in the lower price range.
6. REV'IT Trench GTX
The Rev’it Trench GTX is a stylish urban motorcycle jacket with premium features. This 2-layer touring jacket has VCS | zippers for optimal ventilation on warmer days and a warm (removable) thermal lining for the colder days. The laminated GORE-TEX® membrane keeps you dry, and thanks to the nice parka appearance of this jacket, everyone will think you are showcasing the latest fashion.

Explanation of Product Features from the Table
3L GORE-TEX® Pro Talisman Fabric
The GORE-TEX® Pro Talisman has the unique features of GORE-TEX® fabric – highly breathable and waterproof, and moreover extremely abrasion-resistant due to its coated dot pattern.
3L GORE-TEX® Nylon 400D Fabric
GORE-TEX® layers are made for riding in extreme conditions. The fabric is made of coarse 400 denier ultra-tough nylon for superior abrasion and tear resistance. A high-performance GORE-TEX® membrane is laminated to a stronger outer material and inner lining. The advantage of a three-layer construction is a lower water uptake of the outer layer resulting in better breathability, thus more comfort in all weather conditions.
3L GORE-TEX® Pro Nylon 600D Fabric
GORE-TEX® pro fabric is made for riding in extreme conditions. The fabric is made of robust 600 denier nylon that offers superior tear resistance. The high-performance GORE-TEX® membrane is laminated to the outer fabric, and a specially developed strong lining makes this material a 3-layer fabric. The benefits of a 3-layer fabric are that it is waterproof and does not absorb water, is completely windproof, yet breathes well, offering excellent wearing comfort.
3L GORE-TEX® Pro Armacor Fabric
Pro Shell is a high-performance GORE-TEX® membrane bonded to a strong outer layer and a specially developed, robust lining. Special GORE-SEAM® tape technology ensures that all seams are 100% waterproof. Thanks to the patented grid structure with an integrated Kevlar® core, ARMACOR® product technology offers extreme resistance to tearing and abrasion while being lightweight. The Everest GORE-TEX® Pro Shell jacket will protect you in a fall. In short: safety and more comfort in all weather conditions. This high-quality fabric also has a sunlight reflective layer that keeps the wearer cooler than standard black fabrics when exposed to direct sunlight.
2L Nylon 400D GORE-TEX® Fabric
This fabric is made from coarse 400 denier ultra-tough nylon suitable for superior abrasion and tear resistance. By laminating the GORE-TEX® membrane to the nylon, a 100% water- and windproof yet breathable outer shell is created with outstanding comfort.
SuperFabric®
SuperFabric® technology is an advanced process that transforms ordinary fabrics into unique materials with a high degree of protection. Multiple guard plates are densely applied to the fabric, yet they remain separated to offer maximum flexibility. These micro-guard plates provide an extra layer of protection without adding weight and help prevent the underlying layers of fabric from wearing out. Superfabric® is five times more abrasion-resistant than leather, yet weighs half as much.
Lorica®
Lorica® is made from microfibers that give the material properties similar to real leather, including a leather look. This low-maintenance material is less strong than leather but softer and lighter, with a consistent material thickness making it easier to process.
Neoprene
Neoprene is a synthetic rubber highly suitable for use in protective clothing. It is abrasion-resistant, resistant to chemicals, waterproof, and somewhat stretchable and resilient.
PWR | Kevlar stretch
This PWR | shell stretch material features aramid and nylon fibers for extra strength.
PWR | shell 750D with Teflon® coating
This material is the REV'IT! version of Cordura®. Made from 100% polyamide yarns, PWR|shell combines the best properties of Cordura® - high melting point, exceptional tear and abrasion resistance, and excellent durability - with the unique REV'IT! design signature. PWR|shell offers high-quality protection for every motorcyclist. The water- and dirt-repellent Teflon® coating ensures dirt has a hard time sticking to or penetrating the material, keeping your clothing clean.
Polyester 600D with Teflon® coating
This fabric is made with polyester yarns interwoven with a finer polyester thread to create a high density that increases protection and makes the fabric more abrasion-resistant.
Polyester Ripstop with Teflon® Coating
Polyester yarns woven into ripstop. Thick, reinforced yarn is woven into the fabric at regular intervals in a cross-hatch pattern, resulting in ripstop. The water- and dirt-repellent Teflon® coating makes it hard for dirt to stick to the fabric or penetrate it.
Removable GORE-TEX® Lining with Grid Backer Technology
The GORE-TEX® lining with Grid Backer technology is designed to provide the wearer with breathable comfort and long-lasting water- and windproof protection. This revolutionary technique enhances internal abrasion and tear resistance, improves breathability, and reduces weight.
Removable GORE-TEX® Product with Paclite® Technology
A GORE-TEX® product with Paclite® Technology is windproof, waterproof, and breathable. It's an ideal material for making motorcycle clothing as it provides good protection against the elements. We have added an extra lining to protect the Paclite® membrane and ensure that the membrane doesn't stick to your skin if the thermal lining is removed from the jacket.
