By now you have become intimately familiar with my Rev’it saga. To sum it up - I’ve had a silver Rev’it Airforce jacket for about half a year. I loved it dearly. About a month ago one of the zippers broke. So I tried to get a replacement jacket from Rev’it USA. After a frustrating month I finally got it. This time in black. Why black? If you ride daily in a silver jacket it becomes visibly dirty in about a month of riding. Black on the other hand - not so much. As far as your visibility to other riders and car drivers I believe that your helmet color matters more and is far more visible than your bright jacket.

I immediately noticed more than a few improvements in the jackets design. Namely the way the velcro flaps are made on the cuffs, the way the rain liner is attached to the jacket, zipper quality etc. It does show that Rev’it is constantly working on improving products they offer.

I know I did not exactly praise the customer service provided by Rev’it USA. Using the Top Gear lingo their customer service is “absolute rubbish”. And though an important part of a brand representation this in my opinion still should not completely reflect and stain the high quality of the products Rev’it offers.

Looks like I have not given up on my favorite gear brand just yet.
