REV'IT have been do-
ing the sleek urban
look better than most for a
while now, and two of the
latest offerings in the lineup
are the Afterburn H20 jacket
and Alpha Chino pants.
Starting off with the After-
burn H20 jacket, as the name
suggests, this is a waterproof
garment constructed using
a hydratex mesh G-liner
that's incredibly soft, mated
to a detachable thermal liner.
Inside sits REV'IT's CE-rated
Seesmart armor at the shoul-
ders and elbows, and it also
has provisions for the compa-
ny's CE-level 2 back protector
insert to be fitted.
Storage comes with two
zipped pockets on either side
and an inner pocket, and you
REV'IT AFTERBURN H2O JACKET
can zip the jacket to almost
any REV'IT trousers when
using the company's Safe-
way belt.
The Alpha Chino pants are
definitely on the casual side
but are still extremely safe.
The pants are made using
combination of Cordura
denim and REV'IT's in-house
developed PWR shield, and
there's also a REV'IT Cool-
Max element to the thread
of the pants to actively wick
away moisture on hot days.
The Alpha comes equipped
with flexible Seesmart CE-
level 1 knee protectors and
you can upgrade them with
similar hip protection.
Relaxed fit and casual styling
struck the right chord for us.
Looking for
something a little un-
motorcycle-looking,
then REV'IT's Alpha
Chino is for you.
