If you need a jacket that needs to breath when it gets hot, this is the one for you. Its surprisingly light for the protection it is has built into it, you can rely on Rev'it products and they have made a convert of me.
Add the optional back protection to give an extra dimension to the jacket and it makes it a great summer jacket.
The sizing is also more in line with 'normal' american gear so no calculations to figure out what size you should be.
Buy it!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Sleeve length?

What is the sleeve length on this jacket?

When will Revit start making TALL sizes?
I'm 6'4 and about 190lbs, my work shirts are 35inch length and this jacket fits be just fine. Revit do long pants but dont seem to do a special cut for their jackets, but honestly i dont think they need to this new style and fit works well and unless you have really long arms i would say this jacket will work fine for you. If it doesn't Revzilla's return policy is really easy so its low risk at best.

about replacemet

which back protector is much with this jacket?
I have two revit jackets and two different back protectors, the best is the most expensive SAS-TEC, i use this for the jacket i wear most often. A revit rep told me you could cut this to size and it doesn't lose its integrity. I have cut it to size and used duct tape around the edge - this stops moisture soaking into it. The SAS-TEC is kind of like a memory foam, it will warm up with you and mold to your back making it very comfortable.

I also have the Knox TP2, its stiffer and will not mold to you but its much better than nothing. It's worth the low price, i have this in my summer jacket and although stiff its very conformable.

If you can afford it id say the best one is the SAS-TEC, but in truth both are good and either are better than the foam insert which comes with most jackets.

Ride safe
