The REV'IT! Eclipse 2 Jacket builds upon its predecessor’s already exceptional features with refinements all around utilizing feedback from the riders using the original. The huge mesh panels allow plenty of airflow for maximum comfort on those extremely hot days of riding. The CE level 1 SEESMART shoulder and elbow armor is unobtrusive and gives you that piece of mind when you’re out on the road.

I like how you guys are including a alternative if you want a step up or down of the product you’re showcasing. keep it up!
the blue pads from Revit sure are confortable and breathable but I much prefer D3O armour, it actually feels like would do something on impact and it's as comfortable
Great timing, was just starting to look for reviews of this jacket 😂
did you end up getting it? looking at this one, that dark olive color is sick!
@@gsabella4no I went with the Sand 4 from Revit instead to get a 4 season jacket. I’m still thinking about getting this for my commute though…
I wish they made a high viz version of this jacket. I have the gray one of the first version that I love but I wish the new model came in something more visible.
White?
Bought this jacket for wife and myself just now, thank you for the recommendation!"
Isn’t it a bit too tight and short for him? Or is it how this jacket being worn?
Riding jacket should be tight fitting,the armor needs to stay in its place to keep u protected,tight but not restrictive!!
@@skywalker7517 Make sense. I’m a new rider so such a tip is helpful. Thanks!
I'd say it's too small for him. I wear the Rev'it Eclipse in size large but am an entire shirt size smaller than him at 5'-10" 166lbs.
Just right. Riding jacket should fit snug and really hugging your body.
I think it looks fine in the video but hes not wearing the back protector, with that installed yeah I agree would probably be too tight, it's something to consider
I'm glad they upgraded the armor but it looks like a baggier fit than the first Eclipse. I think that's great for stockier riders but us folks with slim builds appreciated the old fit over the new one.
Loving when Mr. Dunbar makes the review.
Can you replace the older shoulder and elbow armor with the new?
Yeah, the old Knox armor can be swapped out with the SeeSmart CE 1 armor. The pocket will be a bit bulky / loose afterwards (since the SeeSmart is nearly 1/6th the thickness of the Knox), but its possible.
What does riding experience have to do with the jacket what’s a beginner, intermediate and advance jacket? This doesn’t make sense probably why so many ride without gear. I’m trying to do the right thing and wear gear but this is annoying!
Thank you for the great content. What are the differences with Revit Vigor 2? Seems almost identical.
The Vigor 2 utilizes a 3D Mesh fabric in certain areas across the upper body whereas the Eclipse 2 uses a standard mesh to help keep the costs down.
@@RevZilla Thank you very much. Keep up the good work!
Now the price of the Airwave3 has dropped a bit, and I am more confused than ever. I was looking for a white/silver city/commuting hot summer jacket, I like my gf's eclipse1 and I have and old Airwave1.
Between Eclipse2, Airwave3, and Alexi2 what would be your recommendation?
Thanks for your quality content and help, regards from Buenos Aires.
Does "beginner" have any literal meaning or is it just the sales person's way of saying "cheaper?"
You hit it in the nose! I hate the style of terminology! I hunt for good deals but “beginner” or not I’m not trying to spend thousands on this stuff I just wanna be safe
Now that the eclipse has been updated, how does it compare to the air 2?
May I ask how the fit of the Eclipse 2 is compared to the previous generation Eclipse? Are there any notable differences in arm bagginess, jacket length etc. - the previous generation’s fit was spot on for me, so hoping to upgrade if the fit is similar (in particular the sleeve diameter, as any looser and armor may move around too much).
As always, appreciate the good review content Rezvilla!
The fit feels pretty similar especially when prepping for the video. It looks like REV'IT! left the cut mostly the same, but upgraded the armor. Now it'll be a bit looser in the armor areas (since the cut stayed the same but the armor got much thinner), but nothing too crazy. Hope that helps!
Yea to me the fit looks worse than the original one. Is it shorter? I have a fairly long torso.
Is this shorter than the first version? The fit just doesn't look that good compared to the first one. Especially for a taller guy.
Side by side from old to new, the fit was almost identical. Little looser on the new one but only because of the armor getting thinner and providing a bit more space in the sleeves.
I like the Knox armor in the shoulders. It just doesn't work so well in the elbows
Found this jacket introduced by Alissa / Madornomad. Will order one for sure as ridding in South Asia is hot and muggy as hell.
Does revit have anything a step up from the eclipse with a few more pockets?
Just ordered a dark blue! 😊
I have a question, I'm looking at the REV'IT! Eclipse Jacket, and the REV'IT! Eclipse 2 Jacket (the previous version and the new version).
Do you know if both versions of the jacket are the same fit? (general width, length, sleeve length, etc.) like if I am a size Medium in the previous version of the jacket, do you know if I will then also be a size Medium in the newer version of the jacket, and that they will fit me in the same way?
Also are the shoulder and elbow armor pockets/provisions the same shape between the 2 jackets? Apparently they're a bit different (but the back is the same).
I'm trying to figure out if my D30 Ghost armor would fit into the elbows and shoulders of the Eclipse 2 (very thin, squishy floppy armor). I know it fits in the previous version of the Eclipse jacket, so do you think it would therefore fit into the Eclipse 2?
I see another response where RevZilla replied to someone and typed:
"Yeah, the old Knox armor can be swapped out with the SeeSmart CE 1 armor. The pocket will be a bit bulky / loose afterwards (since the SeeSmart is nearly 1/6th the thickness of the Knox), but its possible."
SeeSmart from Eclipse 2, also fits Eclipse 1.
D30 fits Eclipse 1.
Therefore D30 should fit Eclipse 2?
This doesn't necessarily follow, but I'm hoping it does lol.
I mean I could just cut it! wouldn't negatively affect anything, it's not like the whole thing needs to be in tact to do it's function (hardening on impact).
Did you find out if the fit is the same between the older and this newer version? The newer one looks boxier, less trim/athletic cut in pics I have seen.
@@ridemfast7625 - Not yet. Apparently the fit is essentially the same.
@@Siberius- Yeah, I spoke with Revit and they said its slightly looser but mostly the same fit, not much diff, and to order the same size as the older version. I ordered an L and XL from Revit. We shall see.
@@ridemfast7625 - Interesting.
I'll be trying on a former version in a couple days or so and then based on that I'll order the newer one online. The newer version isn't available in my country yet, but it looks a lot prettier to me.
Plus the armour provisions are better sized for thinner armour. I wanna replace it with D3O ghost armour, though the SeeSmart armour is much nicer than the armour in the earlier model.
Is it possible to fit a dainese pro armour 2.0 G2 long? Size Large (52) thank you!!
Can you upgrade the armor to seeflex armor?
It'll be a tight fit, but the amor should work.
I have a 37” chest and a 34” waist. What size should i get?
Lmao
Medium
Looking for a summer commuter jacket in the Phoenix heat
Looks nice, too bad there's no connection zipper.
I was on the fence between this and the Richa cool summer jacket.
Need to test whether that Richa zipper can connect to a Revit pants, any input to share fellas?
I think a lot of Revit pants come with a "revit" sipper + a universal sipper? maybe i am wrong and its just my sport touring pants that come with this.
FWIW: the Richa won't fit with REV'IT! but as Sunde pointed out, the REV'IT! pants you buy will come with a matching zipper half already zipped into them. You can take that and attach it to this Eclipse jacket or a Richa if you wanted.
Im planning on purchasing this. Im a 98cm (38.5in) chest size. Which size will i get?
A size MD would be the best fit w/ a back protector installed.
Thanks!
is this the black or grey?
This is the gray colorway in the video.
Is this the grey color?
Yes
Will you guys be posting an overview of the Revit Offtrack 2 H2O jacket soon?
Unfortunately we won't be shooting a video on that jacket any time soon, however any questions you have about it our Customer Service team would be happy to help out with.

@@RevZilla that is unfortunate indeed. Thanks for the reply!
I don't know why, but I can't see your videos on my feed :(
Question for all. My right sleeve cannot stay on top of my glove when riding. Probably because of the motion of my hand while revving, but I get sunburns on the opening on my skin. I'm always readjusting my sleeve. Is it just me?
hmm maybe get a slightly longer glove?
Honestly can't see much of a difference from the first one. Looks like they added a piece of fabric to either shoulder, but that's about it, no?
That seemed to be the point though, the Eclipse 1 was insanely popular, but CE regulations mandated that all riding gear get the CE A / AA / AAA update to legally be sold in Europe. So REV'IT! got it certified, updated the armor (huge plus), and gave it a second gen name. Wasn't meant to be a redesign, more of a compliance and armor update move to help keep it at the same price from 10 years ago.
The zipper is on the wrong side! I didn't like the left hand zipper.
But but ..the last one had back protector ^^
The original Eclipse Jacket did not include a back protector. Sometimes REV'IT! puts a piece of foam in there to hold the shape on a hanger, but it is certainly not designed for protection. You have the option to add back armor to all of them though.

A ton of these RevIt Eclipse 1 landed to be dumped in India this month. NO wonder 2 is out... sad state of affairs in Indian motorcycling scene.
Sizing down advice is terrible. That's the rule for helmets but not for jackets etc.
It's not a rule across the board, but that's the point of us trying them on to help buyers make educated decisions. Pat is wearing a size down in the Eclipse 2 from what the chart says to wear and it still fits him loose.
Summer jacket, only a T-shirt underneath. Size down is reasonable. Find the eclipse 1 if you can
Honestly, I wouldn't recommend this as a first jacket for a beginner.
Jackets like these ONLY feel comfortable in really warm temperatures. And that's okay, that's what they are made for.
But nobody is gonna ride around with this thing during slightly colder days in spring or fall because it gets way too cold in there.
What does being too cold have to do with a beginner?
@@_code_green_3859 Because as a beginner, you're most likely not gonna buy 2 jackets. And then you're limited only to the warm summer days.
@@_code_green_3859 Because beginners almost always buy one set of gear so buying and having only one jacket (mesh) is uncomfortable in beginning and ending of riding season, depends on climate. For me I'm looking it for the third set so it would be used only during summer months, Beginners dont look it that way
Bicep adjuster... its called steroids. Joose until snug.
Can I use the new armor with original Eclipse?
I think he needs to size up 😂😂
I can't cross my arms in a large and I'm 45lb lighter than this guy... "size down" is terrible advice with Revit
@@Cwafter came here to say the same thing, similar stats to this guy actually which prompted me to get the large size but I should have gotten XL. I can't cross my arms in it even without a back protector in. 🤦
@@Mkpinoyboy Their sizing is weird. This jacket is like a drape around the midsection, but fits very tight on the arms and back. Adding in CE2 back protector and shoulders / elbows makes it MUCH tighter
Online user reviews say to size UP
Sizing down advice is terrible. That's the rule for helmets not jackets etc.
