Product Information

Full details

The Revit Defender 3 All Weather Gore-Tex Jacket is designed for adult male riders looking for a versatile, do-it-all jacket for exploring in any weather. Its key benefit is all-condition readiness with a waterproof and thermal liner system. A potential caveat is its advanced feature set may require familiarization for optimal use. This jacket is equipped with a detachable and separately wearable waterproof liner featuring a 3L GORE-TEX membrane, a detachable thermal liner for warmth, and ventilation zippers (VCS) for warmer conditions. It also offers integrated protection with prepared slots for SEESOFT™ protectors.

FAQs

What is the primary advantage of the Defender 3 GTX jacket?

Its primary advantage is its extreme versatility, allowing riders to comfortably and safely tackle nearly any weather condition or riding scenario with its modular liner system and robust protection features.

Do I need to buy the protectors separately?

Yes, the jacket is designed with pockets prepared for SEESOFT chest and back protectors, and SEEFLEX elbow protectors. These protective inserts are typically sold separately.

How do I clean the GORE-TEX waterproof liner?

The waterproof liner should be washed separately using a specialized technical cleaner or mild liquid detergent, ideally on a gentle cycle with warm water. It should be air-dried or tumble-dried on a low setting. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.

Can I wear this jacket in very hot weather?

Yes, while it's an all-weather jacket, you can enhance ventilation in hot weather by removing the thermal liner and opening all VCS ventilation zippers. However, for extreme heat, dedicated summer jackets may offer superior airflow.

What is the difference between the waterproof liner and the thermal liner?

The waterproof liner uses a 3L GORE-TEX membrane to keep you dry from external moisture. The thermal liner is an insulated layer designed to retain body heat and keep you warm in cold temperatures. Both are detachable.

Is this jacket suitable for commuting or just long tours?

The jacket's versatility makes it suitable for both. Its protective features and all-weather capability are beneficial for commuting, while its comfort and adaptability shine on long touring expeditions.

What materials is the jacket made from?

The jacket is primarily constructed from durable Nylon and Polyester fabrics, chosen for their abrasion resistance and longevity in motorcycle apparel.

Troubleshooting

Water is leaking through the jacket.

Ensure the GORE-TEX liner is correctly inserted and sealed. Check that all zippers are fully closed. Inspect the jacket and liner for any tears or damage. Re-apply DWR treatment to the outer shell if water is not beading.

Jacket feels too hot during riding.

Open the VCS ventilation zippers located on the chest and back to improve airflow. If it's warm but dry, consider removing the thermal liner and potentially the waterproof liner if not needed.

Liners are difficult to attach or detach.

Ensure the jacket is laid flat and the liners are aligned correctly with the attachment points (zippers, snaps, tabs). Do not force the liners; check for obstructions.

Armor pieces feel uncomfortable or shift during riding.

Verify that the correct size and type of SEESOFT/SEEFLEX protectors are installed. Ensure they are properly seated within their designated pockets and that the jacket fits snugly but comfortably.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the jacket fits correctly before adding any protectors.
  2. Insert SEESOFT Level 1 chest protectors into the designated pockets on the inside of the jacket.
  3. Insert the SEESOFT Level 2 back protector (type RV) into its specific back pocket.
  4. Confirm SEEFLEX Level 2 elbow protectors are correctly positioned within the internal elbow pockets.
  5. Attach or detach the waterproof and thermal liners as needed based on weather conditions.

Compatibility:

  • This jacket is designed to be compatible with SEESOFT™ Level 1 two-piece chest protectors, SEESOFT Level 2 back protectors (type RV), and SEEFLEX™ RV 10 Level 2 elbow protectors. Ensure you use the correct protector types and sizes as specified by REV'IT!.

Care:

  • Outer Shell: Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure all zippers are closed before cleaning.
  • Liners: The detachable GORE-TEX and thermal liners should be washed separately according to their specific care labels. Typically, this involves gentle machine washing with specialized gear detergent and low-temperature drying. Always re-waterproof liners after washing if recommended.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before long-term storage.
