The REV'IT! Proxy H2O is a waterproof, sporty softshell motorcycle jacket. It's related to the Afterburn, but is slightly tighter, just as soft, and yet very relaxed, with a removable hood. At first sight a somewhat idiosyncratic mix, and one that delivers very strong results.
Look and feel of the Proxy H2O are not 'typical motorcycle jacket'. Softshell, the hood, it looks more like the jacket you put on when you got off the bike. And yet, this is a full-fledged motorcycle jacket. A very strong one at that, in every sense of the word. One in high density softshell 3L. Softshell 3L is all-round, keeps everything dry and offers comfort in most weather conditions. This is tailor-made for your bike, and what you lack in the softshell itself, REV'IT! has added to it.
A removable thermal lining provides extra insulation when it gets chilly, and a waterproof and breathable - built-in and therefore non-removable - Hydratex®|mesh G-liner membrane protects against any moisture that escapes. The double, scanted zipper in the front illustrates that you can have some expectations in that area. Ventilation openings can be found on the forearms and the wind leaves the Proxy H2O through the back.
The removable hood hides the sporty nature of the Proxy H2O. REV'IT! deliberately left a little more room so you don't have to muddle your way into this light-feeling motorcycle jacket, but it's still centered, contoured, short, and tight enough to give you that sporty feel. You can also adjust at little more yourself: a snap button on the upper arms and velcro strips at the sleeve ends are the main adjustment options.
Protection is provided by SEESMART™ protectors on the elbows and shoulders, and those who wish can easily fit a SEESOFT™ RV or SEESOFT™ Air CE back protector. Stowage possibilities come with the Proxy H2O
in the form of two side pockets (with zipper) and two inner pockets.
A short connecting zipper is present, although the combination with a good pair of motorcycle jeans seems a logical choice. Optionally, you can use the Safeway 2 belt. What certainly goes with it are the Cassini H2O motorcycle gloves to create a complete look.
There's maintenance clothing, and then there's clothing maintenance. Good, solid motorcycle clothing is an investment in comfort and personal safety. So invest in its maintenance after your purchase and enjoy your gear for longer.
