Rev'it Vertical Gore-Tex Textile Jacket - Dark Blue

Bought for my Dad to replace his aging jacket.

I bought this as my identical Revit Vertical jacket is a few years old and has been brilliant, and after a few rides my Dad loves his as well.

Wind and waterproof.

Only issue, lack of arm vents means it's not great for hot days.

I've had the erm "opportunity" to try it out in hot cool and wet, very wet conditions, it passed very well, not a drop got in around the neck due to the adjustable collar, and I like the idea of a credit card pocket on the sleeve. I bought this for commuting and normally wear size xl, however the arms were really tight and I wouldn't have been able to wear warm clothes underneath, I had to go to 2xl to make sure I had enough room underneath for winter clothes. Definitely designed by a biker as it has exactly what we need

This jacket is truly waterproof, I wore this for first time and under torrential sustained rain for over two hours and remained completely dry. I had to opt for XL as the sizing was on the tight side in large, I'm a 45" chest. This is a very good buy at the current reduced price for what is a true Gortex laminated fabric. The quality is first class. It showed excellent breathability.

Bought this to go to Europe, first short trip wasn't very hot, so didn't use the vents.
The neck could be a little bigger, I'm Ta 6 ft woman so if you've got a thick neck it might be snug.
The fit is good length of jacket and sleeves and the pockets work well

Top quality jacket at a competitive price. Very comfortable straight away, no need to "run it in". The armour supplied with it sits well and doesn't get in the way when moving. The optional back protector bought separately fitted easily into the pocket and again is comfortable. I can also tell you that it can handle an hour and a half of torrential rain on the motorway too. A great jacket for commute or tour. As ever first class service from the team at Boston, highly recommended.

First week of using it daily to commute to work and already inside cuff seam give up. On right hand side vent magnetic fit lock fall apart not even been use once.
I am worried what will be in long run.

Thanks to the staff in Preston I was about to purchase a different Revit jacket when this was suggested. Straight away it feels comfy and safe. There are plenty of pockets and good vents, although not on the arms. A back protector should in my opinion be included when you are spending so much on a jacket. Other than that I would highly recommend this jacket.

It's early days yet, and I haven't ridden in the wet, but this is a quality jacket in terms of material and finish, and very stylish for a textile motorbike jacket. I am a 38 chest and went with medium.

AA safety rating and goretex - what more do you need. Really smart jacket and waterproof. Looking forward to many years with it.

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Is very warm and is very waterproof. (tested in heavy rain)

I've always been a rev'it rider with leathers and textiles however this is my first Gore Tex and it doesn't disappoint. Fit is adjustable and good, only worn in thecold so far and very cosy. No need to review in the wet as trust the GoreTex name. Final mention to price promise, despite being a good bit cheaper elsewhere SBS honoured their price promise when others would have wiggled out

I spent untold hours on the internet watching reviews on jackets, their constructions, the differences between the materials and how waterproofing is achieved.

The bottom line is that unless it is Gore-tex and costs £350+, then too many corners will have been cut, and you are going to buy another jacket sooner than you wish. My Oxford laminate lasted three years and a lot of miles, so I'm hoping for more from the Rev'it

It Rev'It Vertical isn't cheap, but having ridden around Wales in the rain for a few days, I can confirm it is waterproof. The arms - as with most Rev'it jackets - are longer than most other manufacturers but not so long that they are a problem.

No zips at the cuffs and a wide opening make putting winter gloves inside the sleeve easy, even when you have one glove already on. The velcro at the wrist ensures a tight fit. I also tried the jacket on over a Keis heated jacket, having removed the thermal liner and could still get the G701 short heated gloves inside the sleeves.

The internal pockets take a large Samsung phone, and the external pockets are waterproof. And that perhaps is the one drawback. The external pockets are so secure that they are awkward to use. However, Rev'it put a credit card pocket on the left sleeve, making cashless payments easy without the need to unzip everything.

Comfortable, warm and well-sized.

This is an incomplete review as I have not worn the jacket in heavy rain.
Wait and discover?

Went to SBS Kirton to buy a new suit as my 7 year old Streetguard had delaminated.
Pre booked Rukka was far too small even though I sized as all my previous Jackets and Jeans next sizes were out of stock.
The staff were so helpful in helping me work through 2nd and 3rd choices to find a perfect fit.
So far only used in fine but cold weather but it is superb so far.

This feels a lot lighter than my old jacket, it has great airflow with the vents open and as I went for the silver/white version it does repel the sun better than a black one. It's really comfortable and I went with one size up than normal, it fits like it was tailor made. I would definitely recommend it highly. Not been in any real rain yet, but as it is laminated then I can see no issue.
