REVIT Women's Ventura Jacket Serious equipment for the serious female rider. The REVIT Ventura Ladies jacket includes all of the important safety and practical features of a top-of-the-line adventure jacket, but with some specific features that enhance the comfort level even more. A good example is the waterproof, detachable liner, which can be easily removed and stowed away in the back pocket. Huge two-way zippers at the sleeves, and a fully removable collar that hides a big air mesh panel, allow the wind to flow in freely. Bottom line The worlds first true ladies adventure jacket. Ready for Paris but made for Dakar.

This jacket fits fairly snug, but is very comfortable when worn over a form-fitting lightweight shirt. The removable liner and separate waterproof membrane make the jacket very versatile; I've been really pleased at the range of temperatures it works in. The waterproof membrane adds warmth in addition to rain protection, though I've not yet had the opportunity to test it in a downpour.
In response to the reviewer that stated the men's jacket features are better, I would argue that the venting in the women's sleeve is superior to the men's.
The protective features seem very well thought out and capable of doing the job, though I did choose to upgrade the back protector. I'm impressed with the array of useful features that Rev'It provided in this jacket and will definitely consider more Rev'It products in the future. And it's really nice to see that Rev'It is providing more than just entry-level products for women!
