2012 Fall REV'IT! Reveal

Always dressed to impress, REV'IT! has consistently been one of the staples of ADV/Touring gear in just about every category. This Fall they've mixed it up a bit by adding an urban line of clothing that features protective apparel that can be passed as casual clothing. These high-tech coats offer the same great protection and features that you have come to know and love, however they are packaged in a fashionable theme for city riders. 

Back in the day, people used to wax their cotton jackets to help keep the water out in wet weather.  With today's technology and waterproof membranes, this is no longer necessary.  However, the classic look that is created by waxed cotton is still around.  The REV'IT! Melville Jacket is a 3/4 length coat designed for fashionable city riding. Knox Lite armor offers CE-rated protection without adding too much bulk and the Hydratex G-liner works together with the waxed finish to keep you dry.  Styled with pockets, belts, buttons and tabs, the Melville is minimally branded for those that hesitate to ride (or walk) around with large logos plastered across their chest or back.

The REV'IT! Women's Gracia Jacket is the ladies' answer to the men's Melville. Cinched to flatter curves, the Gracia carries all the same features of the waxed cotton, waterproofness, and styling.  Both the Gracia and the Melville include a reflective strip at the back of the color to ensure visibility at night.

Raising the fashion standard with a faux fur collar and knitted waistband and cuffs, the REV'IT! Brera Jacket makes quite a statement to your urban landscape. Made with minimal bulk, but still with CE-Rated armor, the Brera is the ultimate in incognito riding gear. The Brera is made with a lightweight Nylon, Hydratex Lite, and Knox Lite all for increased flexibility. If your city isn't cold enough for the fur color, don't worry -- its removable.

Finally, the REV'IT! Women's Taksim Jacket closes the updated for REV'IT! Fall 2012.  This 3/4-plus length jacket also sports the faux fur collar on its removable hoody. In addition, the hoody can be fixated to the back of the jacket to prevent it from flopping around in the wind.  The Taksim really speaks refinement and distinction into the fashion sense of the urban moto-lady.

New Fall REV'IT! Gloves Breakdown

Always dressed to impress, REV'IT! has consistently been one of the staples of ADV/Touring gear in just about every category. This Fall they've mixed it up a bit by adding an urban line of clothing that features protective apparel that can be passed as casual clothing. These high-tech gloves offer the same great protection and features that you have come to know and love, however they are packaged in a fashionable theme for city riders.

Whether you live in the windy city or the city of brotherly love, we are all familiar with the bone-chilling drafts that gust between the highrises in an urban setting. The REV'IT! Hybrid WSP Gloves solve this with generous use of Windstopper (WSP) across the top of the hand. In addition to being water resistant, WSP, as its name suggests, is one of the most practical and effective means of negating windchill. The Hybrid WSP gloves still offer hard-knuckle protection as well as PU-injected fingers and EVA foam at the thumb. Some other notable features include a goatskin palm and a 'Connect finger tip' that allows for use with touchscreen devices. Finished with a tri-fleece liner and a knitted cuff, these stylish, tech gloves will keep you warm
when the lights go down in the city.

Only $10 more than the Hybrid WSP, the REV'IT! Carver H20 Gloves are basically the waterproof version of the same. They use the same tri-fleece liner and goatskin palm, but instead of WSP, a Hydratex liner is used for waterproofing. You still have the benefit of hard-shell knuckle protection and the comfy knitted cuff. Both the Carver and the Hybrid use a subtle reflective strip at the back of the hand for increased visibility at night.

Stepping up the line, the next entry adds a full gauntlet with wrist strap and velcro cuff tab. The REV'IT Women's Element 2 H20 Gloves also use the Hydratex waterproof membrane and have a full leather finish, with panels of suede and goatskin in the sensitive areas. Featuring a visor wiper and the same excellent protection, the Element 2 gloves up the ante for wet weather riding. They are also available in a men's version.

If your journey calls for the ultimate in durability and and all-weather flexibility, save yourself for the REV'IT! Fusion Gore-Tex Gloves. Moving from Hydratex to Gore-Tex, and tri-fleece to Thermolite Plus and Exkin, the Fusion gloves are the warmest, driest option for Fall 2012. In addition, they come with a dual-comp palm slider as well as a high loft interior fur liner. These plush gloves will outlast the competition while keeping your fingers kindled, comfy, and dry
