I have the full defender suit and have been riding in it for six months now. The suit is extrememly warm, and I have been out in temperatures as low as the teens F, with only underwear beneath, and was comfortable all day. Similarly, I have been out in 80+F and the venting is excellent. It isn't as good as a dedicated summer jacket, but for an all-year-'round combination, this is a winner.
build quality is exceptional. The armor is very good and stays in place nicely. I recommend replacing the back and hip armor with sas-tec. A cheap upgrade, but worth every penny (why is this not standard?#.
Adjustability is excellent. No room for street clothes beneath. I find the pants and jacket very snug #not tight or uncomfortable# with all the liners in, and slightly loose when the liners are out #easily synched down using all the adjustments).
I am 5'8" and 200 pounds, with a 30" inseam and 46" chest. I have the XL short pants and the XL jacket.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Haven't had a chance to ride in the wet as I have been riding in the frozen north but I can comment on warmth. This jacket is warmer, lighter and has nicer material than my previous high end textile jacket. temperatures have been -5 degrees C. on the morning commute and I have been comfortable. A+++
Yes, I recommend this product.

So far I've been extremely impressed and happy with the Defender GTX jacket. I'm 5'11, 180-lbs with a 44" chest and went with a 2XL which provides a very good fit. The adjustments make getting a tailored fit quite easy so nothing's flapping in the wind as you ride.
One complaint I do have is the small button loops inside the sleeves for the liners. These are a real pain to get the button through, especially with already cold fingers. I'm also not real fond of the adjustable snap system on the collar and would much prefer two simple fixed position snaps instead. I also thing a snap to hold the collar flap open would work much better than the current hook that never seems to stay.

Ever since I spoke to Tex from Revit at the Bloomsburg, PA BMW rally I knew I would everntually buy the Defender jacket. I has all the important comfort and protection features that I feel will make this the perfect 4 season jacket for my upcoming cross country trip. The folks at Revzilla are outstanding to work with and know their products. I'm a large man, 6'3", 260# and the 3XL jacket fits snug (as designed, keeps the armor in place and eliminates flapping fabric) and is very comfortable with no restriction in movement. The only dig for me is I would have liked to front of the jacket to be very slightly longer, maybe an inch. I am very pleased with the fit and level of protection from the elements and impacts and the removable Gor-tex lining is something I have learned I can trust for absolute waterproofness and breathability. I did upgrade to the SASTEC back armor..not sure if that is going to be too hot for hot riding days.

Received the Defender jacket and pants from Rev'it as a replacement for a leaky Infinity suit. Rev'it replaced the suit for free, and I'm very happy now with this two-piece Defender suit. Warm and waterproof still after about a year and riding in a few downpours. I agree with most; buy a size bigger. It is really much more comfortable if you don't try to wear street clothes underneath. I just wear long underwear and carry my street clothes and change at my destination.
Yes, I recommend this product.

So far, I LOVE this jacket. Being from the San Francisco bay area, we are "blessed" with a variety of micro-climates. It starts of at 30-35F in the morning and 65-70 in the afternoon. I commute daily, 60 miles #roundtrip# thru rush hour traffic. I'm loving the vents as it doesn't require me to remove the warmer lining, so far. I do have to open up most of the vents #the chest flaps, the chest zippers, the back zippers# for the ride home, lest I sweat. I did have the arm zippers open, but after about 10 miles, it was TOO cold!. It hasn't rained yet, but i'm SUPER confident that with how it's held up so far, I'm going to be pleased. I'm bummed that it doesn't have a "toll booth money" pocket. I'm 5'11", 220#, I wear a 46R jacket and the 2XL is a great fit. I chose this jacket over the Alpinestars Durban soley based on the awesome video review, even though it was a bit more expensive.

I have now had the opportunity to ride in mid 20 degree temperatures in the snow and in the rain. I must say that this product lives up to its promise of warmth and keeping you dry. Overall the product fits and looks great. You should buy at least a size larger than you normally wear. The design features have been well thought out and incorporated into the jacket. I love it.

I have a rev'it sand jacket but the hydra liner leaks a bit in the arms. I would like to upgrade the liner to GORE-TEX since it just loves to rain here in the PNW.

REV'IT does not sell the liner separately, however, if your liner is leaking it could be covered under the manufacturer's warranty. We suggest contacting Customer Service 888.792.9455 9am-7pm EST Monday-Friday.

REV'IT! Jackets are European (slim) cut and generally more narrow in the shoulders than other brands. Please take this into account when choosing the appropriate size. Most riders with any body type other than "slim" would need to order one size larger than they typically might wear in other brands, if you are in between sizes, we recommend erring on the larger side. If you have any questions about REV'IT! sizing please call 877-792-9455 for help.
