The REV’IT! Shade 2 H2O motorcycle jacket proves that evolution does not always have to mean revolution. The successor to the successful Shade H2O takes over the familiar concept, with one crucial upgrade: where the original Shade was made in polyester textile, this second generation is made entirely from 3L softshell.
That change of material leads to a significant improvement in comfort. Softshell is naturally pleasant and soft to wear. It does not mean, however, that protection has been sacrificed.
The integrated, non-removable hydratex® Mesh G-liner membrane remains the waterproof foundation, while the softshell outer adds natural breathability that markedly improves overall comfort. The REV’IT! Shade 2 H2O is a lightweight motorcycle jacket with heavyweight qualities; at least when it comes to protection against the elements. The removable thermal liner makes it a reliable companion for spring, autumn, and winter city rides. A wind- and water guard behind the main zip prevents excessive cold and moisture from entering through the central opening.
SEESMART CE-level 1 shoulder and elbow protectors are securely integrated into 3D mesh protector pockets, maintaining the motorcycle jacket’s clean look. The Shade 2 H2O is also prepared for an optional SEESOFT CE-level 2 back protector for motorcycle riders who want extra protection. Laminated reflective elements improve visibility without compromising on style.
As with its predecessor, REV’IT! has deliberately kept the cut of the Shade 2 H2O short and practical. This is a motorcycle jacket you put on because it is simply handy: no fuss, no lengthy changeovers, not overly complicated. Just straightforward comfort.
Practical features include two zipped slit pockets on the outside and an internal pocket for valuables. Adjustment options consist of press studs on the upper arms, Velcro at the cuffs, and a drawcord at the hem – sufficient for achieving a proper fit.
Belt loops prevent the motorcycle jacket from bulging while riding and ensure a comfortable pairing with motorcycle jeans.
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.
