We bought these Rev'it Hi-Vis raincoats a few months ago based on reviews and research, we wanted Hi-Vis in poor visibility conditions, a jacket that was breathable and able to be put on easily without snagging over our existing Summer mesh or winter lined riding textiles.

This ticked the boxes and can be purchased here in Australia from:

Now we just hope to leave it in the Topbox :thumbsup

After last Saturday's RTE to Carcoar, I purchased one from Rev'it, and spoke to Ian Marsden.
Ian answered all my questions and nothing was a problem, better still Ian took my order over the phone :like

Just a follow up report on these rain jackets from Rev'it......they are a winner :thumbsup
Used them in a few light morning showers as we did the National Rally ride in our summer full mesh jackets with no weather protection from these jackets.
In the Victorian Highcountry wearing a long sleeve T-Shirt a non-lined soft shell hiking jacket under my summer mesh bike jacket with the Rev'it over the lot we were comfy in 5 degree late arvo temps.
Our last day on the road home of 550k's had us in light to medium rain for the entire day......the jackets performed without fault.
As Abe pointed out its the little things on the jacket that make a difference, the direction the Velcro tabs on the sleeves do up away from the rider to give a better seal around the wrist, and the security of the Hi-Vis in foul weather is comforting.
A big :thumbsup from us

Glad the rain jackets are working out. I'm a big fan of Rev'it gear. It's well thought out and good quality.
