5 BEST waterproof GORE-TEX motorcycle jackets | FortaMoto.com

Staying dry on the bike is pretty essential, and for that you’re going to need a good waterproof motorcycle jacket. The best possible waterproof material on the market is the GORE-TEX membrane, guaranteed to keep you dry while retaining the breathability. These 5 waterproof GORE-TEX coats are my picks for the best bike jackets currently available from FortaMoto.

Whether you’re looking for a casual urban jacket such as the Rev’it! Trench, or an ultimate touring jacket such as the Rukka Realer (also know as the Nivala) – we have it all. All of the jackets presented in this video are guaranteed to be waterproof thanks to the GORE-TEX membranes.
GORE-TEX is a popular name in the world of motorcycle gear, and there’s a good reason for that. The advanced GORETEX (and GORE-TEX Pro) membranes are used in jackets, trousers, gloves, boots.. and actually in lots of other high performance garments – even outside the motorcycling world.

So what does GORETEX do? Basically it’s a fabric that repels waters, while still allowing water vapor to pass through. Rain can’t get in, but sweat can get out. It’s guaranteed to keep you dry, and that’s why we love it so much.

Rev’it! Trench GTX – 1:00
Designed with the classic ‘trench coat’ in mind. Longer than average casual laminated jacket with large ventilation panels and a great look.

Dainese Carve Master 2 – 3:15

Can't speak for a Rukka style which in my personal opinion is designed to look like a bin bag, add lack of pockets on top and you have a useless item that cost a fortune.
Dainese is absolute rubbish, bought one and got wet next day, replaced that with another one...got soaked again fiew days later and took it back to the shop...absolute rubbish !
Rev'it Poseidon? Thank you for restoring my faith in Goretex equipement 🤘🏻 Absolutely love it! Keep you dry, cool design & practical, with all pockets you may ever need.
Laminate Goretex is the way forward 🤘🏻

Got the Poseidon 2 jacket, best jacket I’ve had in 50 years of motorcycling, I like the fact that when it rains the jacket doesn’t get heavy like many jackets . Got the chest armour fitted aswell 😊🤓👍

Good review. But the problem is that the brands reviewed don't offer larger sizes. Like for folks with 50+ inch chests or 48+ inch waists. Request for a better balance. Include brands like Klim, First Gear etc.

[DonHavjuan]

Including the carve master was a mistake. It's NOT a waterproof jacket, it's a jacket with a waterproof lining. Once the outer jacket gets wet, which it does, the breathability is ZERO.

I am 1, 80cm an 85kg fitness freak, i bought the Poseidon 2 GTX and love it, its not very long and very durable, i ride whole year, now after 6 months its time to maintain it due guarantee...i can recommend.

Is there short and tight sport touring jacket with a thermal and a waterproof liner you would recommend. Really dont like long jackets but I ride from early spring untill the frost hits usually in november - is the Rukka the best bet? thanks 😊🤗

I love my trench jacket. No brainer if you don’t want to be a rolling advertisement

[pedroat]

Why do the brands make waterproof gore-tex jackets and then they are full of non waterproof zippers??? I have the Dainese Cyclone gore-tex, it was the most expensive jacket i bought and yet it is the worst.

[TurboJunkie]

I must admit. I'v been using tikka for decades. Until I had a fool pull out on me while wearing my two day old ruikka armas. Even though it had a five year guarantee. They said sorry there's nothing can be done. So I'm sticking with alpinestars 🤘

[goldenchild]

seriously, no Klim jackets, not one?!

[paul]

Good picks, though could I say tone the heavy metal music down, please? I want to hear a jacket review, not go to a heavy metal concert. Thanks.

[mmaric]

Klim? Best of the best… 3 layer goretex laminate and 2 layer goretex laminate…
