Rev'it's Ultimate All-Season Touring Gear
Vanessa Ruck Author
In this article we're diving into the Valve H2O jacket and trousers, along with the Discovery GTX boots. This trio is designed to keep you dry, comfortable, and protected across all seasons. Whether you're a dedicated long-distance rider or a weekend warrior, this collection has got you covered.
Valve H2O Jacket
Let's kick things off with the star of the show - the Valve H2O Jacket. This piece is a true marvel of engineering, designed to keep you dry and comfortable in any weather. The jacket is crafted from a combination of waterproof Corium smart leather and a 3L Hydratex material, creating an impenetrable barrier against the elements.
But here's where it gets really exciting - the innovative Aqua Defense ventilation system. Imagine being able to cool off without getting soaked! This clever system uses waterproof zips and magnetic locks on the chest vents, allowing air to flow in while keeping water out. There's even a gasket-like system that prevents water from sneaking in if the vent flaps open slightly while you're riding.
When the temperature drops, you'll appreciate the removable thermal liner. And for those blustery days, there's a detachable storm collar to keep your neck cozy. Safety-wise, you're in good hands with CE Level 2 armor in the elbows and shoulders. Plus, there's a prepared space for a back protector - just pick one up from the XLMOTO website to complete your protection.
The attention to detail on this jacket is impressive. You've got adjustable wrists for a perfect fit with your gloves, a glove-friendly main zipper, and even waist adjustments to fine-tune the fit. And let's not forget the connection to the trousers - you can choose between a full wrap-around zip or a shorter option for flexibility.
Trust me, whether you're facing scorching heat or pouring rain, this jacket has got your back!
Valve H2O Pants
Now, let's talk about the perfect partner for the Valve H2O jacket - the matching Valve H2O pants. These trousers are no afterthought; they're designed to work seamlessly with the jacket to create a complete weather-beating system.
Just like the jacket, these pants use that brilliant combination of smart leather and waterproof membrane to keep you dry. They even have the same clever ventilation system with the gasket-like system that prevents water from sneaking in! You'll find vents on both legs with that Aqua Defense system, so you can cool off without getting wet.
Safety is a top priority here too. You've got CE Level 2 knee protection and Level 1 hip protection built right in. There's also a nice leather area on the seat for added durability where you need it most.
The pants feature a removable thermal liner, just like the jacket, so you can adapt to changing temperatures. And when it comes to putting them on, you'll appreciate the zippered leg openings that make it easy to slip them over your boots.
One thing to note - the pockets are on the smaller side, but hey, that's what your jacket pockets are for, right? Overall, these pants are the perfect complement to the jacket, giving you head-to-toe protection against whatever the weather throws at you!
Discovery GTX Boots
The Discovery GTX boots complement the Valve H2O jacket and pants, providing waterproof protection for your feet during long rides. These boots feature a Gore-Tex membrane, which effectively keeps water out while allowing your feet to breathe, ensuring comfort in various weather conditions.
One of the standout features of these boots is the BOA closure system. This innovative design replaces traditional laces with a wire system that can be tightened or loosened using a simple dial. The system provides an even fit across the foot and can be easily operated even when wearing gloves.
In terms of protection, the Discovery GTX boots offer reinforcement in critical areas including the toe, heel, shin, and ankle. This design provides security and support whether you're on the bike or walking around.
The boots are equipped with a Vibram sole, a result of Rev'it's partnership with the well-known sole manufacturer. This sole offers excellent grip and durability, providing traction whether you're stopping at traffic lights or exploring off the bike.
Inside the boot, an Ortholite sole provides additional comfort for extended wear. The combination of waterproofing, protection, and comfort makes these boots a versatile choice for adventure touring, capable of handling a wide range of riding conditions.
