REV'IT! Trench GTX Jacket Review

REV'IT! Trench GTX Jacket Review
www.revzilla.c...
Ready for any ride, REV’IT!’s latest jacket is ready for any ride. With its dual-layered Gore-Tex nylon 400D outer shell and Gore-Tex membrane waterproofing, foul weather won’t be touching your torso. When temps drop, deploy the detachable thermal liner and ride on. Additional features include Seeflex CE protection at the shoulders and elbows, reflective accents, and plenty of pockets for all your stuff. The REV'IT! Trench GTX jacket has a pocket for an optional back protector (Type RV, sold separately).

There a few features you missed. There are pockets for chest protectors as well as the same zips for the Thermal Liner can be used for the Rev'it cooling vest. I find depending on the gloves you are wearing if you leave the cuffs not full cinched down there's enough airflow that the absence of sleeve zips isn't a big issue. It's a very stylish jacket one that doesn't make you look like a boxy ADV weirdo.

Bought this jacket and it is great. Only thing I lacking is the ventilation in the arms. I used it together with my tenere 700 and I think it also work well for some simple offroad.

6 year old jacket, I'm hoping they'll bring out a similarly styled but improved new version

[@TheRockyBalboa100]

Im also a fan of this, but my only hesitation is the 400d outershell. Is it enough to keep my skin safe in a (highway) slide? How many seconds will the jacket hold up in a slide? Is CE rated to AA enough?

[@Alexlegrand294]

Does it do the job during winter or when it is cold like 0 degree ?

[@SgtDuster]

@REV'IT! This jacket being almost 6 years old, it's time to renew it. I'd buy it in a heartbeat if it had more ventilation. Change nothing, just add some arms and back ventilation (I mean back, in addition to the shoulder blade/armpit ones) and another protective layer of fabric over the shoulders and elbow please!!!

I wish revzilla would do a bike specific gear suggestions I ride super duke being that it’s a naked bike I feel like that puts me in between categories on the website.. imo

You can basically wear whatever you want, from slightly longer touring jackets to waist-length sport leather jackets. -DrewZilla

[@ridetolive5780]

Why can't you wear ADV jackets on a sport or naked bike. Just wear whatever is safest and has the most practical use. "sporty" jackets are usually the least versatile in terms of storage pockets, ventilation, etc so unless you're riding track (in which case you'd need a suit) then I don't see why anyone would consider sporty jackets

When will you have these back in stock?

[@amittrivedi9101]

Any reason you guys haven't come up with the review of the REV'IT ridge GTX jacket?

[@RevZilla]

It's very limited edition (only 500 total in the world), so it might not make sense to make a video. -DrewZilla

[@amittrivedi9101]

@@RevZilla common guys.....u just can't say no to having content!!! Trust me in my opinion it'll be unique since yours will the only English review for this limited edition jacket on KZbin. Please do give it a serious thought and make it happen. Humble request from your ardent follower:-)

[@SydneySlowRider]

Hi there, Is the jacket itself CE-rated? Or is it just the armour inserts?

[@RevZilla]

Yes, the jacket itself is CE rated to level AA. The armor is CE Level 2. -DrewZilla

[@motomc7197]

Is would this fit the same as the horizon 2? I wear a horizon 2 in size XL and it's perfect fit. Would this me slimmer fitting or slightly bigger? Thanks guys

[@RevZilla]

Yes, it fits very similarly to the Horizon 2. If you look at the video for the Horizon 2 and the Trench, HVB wears size LG in both, and both seem to drape the same on him. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/revit-trench-gtx-jacket *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/revit-horizon-2-jacket

[@PhilG221]

How does this compare to the Horizon 2? Is it worth the extra money?

[@RevZilla]

If breathable waterproofing is important to you, yes. The Trench uses Gore-Tex while the Horizon 2 uses REV'IT's proprietary waterproofing. That's the main difference, otherwise it comes down to style mostly. -Kraus-e

[@PhilG221]

@@RevZilla Bought the horizon 2 jacket in the end. Really wanted to like the Trench GTX, likes the colour and it's goretex. But that collar. It kept digging into my Adam's apple, in a way that the Horizon 2 did not. They took away the adjustability that the Horizon has, and you can clip it open like you can on the Horizon. Time will tell if the Horizon was the right choice.

[@JT-cloverbottomt]

Can the armor be upgraded to D3O?

[@RevZilla]

No. Plus, D3O isn't an upgrade, as the Seeflex armor is already CE Level 2, lighter, and better-vented. -DrewZilla
