REV'IT! Defender 3 GTX Jacket & Pants Review

The REV'IT! Defender 3 GTX Jacket & Pants are designed for adventure touring riders looking for Gore-Tex but don’t want to jump to the Dominator 3. Seesmart CE level 2 Armor at the shoulders and elbow compliment the extensive abrasion resistant materials along the exterior of the jacket.

You guys do great videos, but I wish you'd spend a bit more time on sizing and fit. After describing the model's weight and measurements...it would be great to see him not only in the size that fits him, but also show what one size up and down looks like on him, perhaps with another model of different proportions as well. Also, how the jacket looks on with the liners out, while wearing just a single layer shirt as you would if it were warm. Thanks.

Can you please do a separate breakdown video for the Defender 3 pants? They cost $679.99 and barely got a mention in this.

Remarkable that Rev’it fixed basically all the complaints about the previous one. Added stretch, reinforcements at the impact zones, better waterproof layer. Too bad the waterproof isn’t an over/under, but that’s my only complaint now.

I was on the fence about the Defender 2 cause it didn't have a destination jacket, now I am sold!

The color on this jacket looks very different than the sand/black version shown in your website. Which one is more accurate? Was this one a preproduction sample?

[aliyenal]

Quick question. The color scheme of the jacket in the review doesn't match the sand one on your website. Which is the true color of the jacket?

Does this outer shell has any water repellent treatment? Or is just the gore tex liner?

[Laksujaakso]

I’m trying to decide between this or the Sand 4. I’d like to think the Gore-Tex liner in this would hold water outside better than the Hydratex liner in the Sand 4 but what about using a neck brace with this jacket? Revit mentions the Segur neck brace would work but I don’t see any mounting points on the jacket.

very nice infor .but in Malaysia too hot to wear .high risk in heat stroke ..i bought Revit eclipse .

Why are the hiviz vest connection points never level?

[jctv-sqqd]

So since the outside shell isn't goretex will it still hold up when it's raining really bad?

[Buelleskopp]

It looks quite good. But how is the waterproof liner fixed in the outer shell? Or is it just another jacket which has to be worn under the outer jacket? That would be a clear fault. I need the ability to fix the waterproof shell in the outer jacket.
Another question: Is there any problem combining Defender (Pro) jacket with Defender pro trousers and visa versa?
Thanks.

Seems like the Sand 4 is better than this. Most of the stuff like the pockets don't make too much sense.

He looks like he could easily bump up two notches in the size chart. Looks way to tight. Whats the point in buying this jacket in a Large if its too snug when the liners are in? 🙂

Io personalmente la trovo molto inferiore alla precedente, venduta ad un costo superiore! Delusione Rev’it che pure lei sta cercando di guadagnare di più dicendo di innovare, ma che invece toglie cerniere, tasche, rifiniture e doppia chiusura anti infiltraxione acqua sulla cerniera anteriore che ora è esposta a tutto!!!! Meno male che le persone hanno ancora gli occhi per vedere questi piccoli “inganni”!!!

Well no pants reviewed. No membrane over the jacket or pants showed. This review could have been better.
